Send the invoice the same day you deliver. Use Net 7–15 terms rather than Net 30. Put the due date in the email subject line. Follow up politely at 1 day, 7 days and 14 days overdue.
Common mistakes
Reusing invoice numbers, vague line items like 'design work', and forgetting the due date are the top reasons invoices get paid late.
