The short guide
Why these three, and when.
Most late payers forgot, so the first email assumes they did. The second asks one question, because a question gets an answer. The third names a date and only says what you’ll really do. If none of them work, pick up the phone.
The longer version: how to chase an unpaid invoice. No invoice yet? The free invoice generator makes one.
Rather not remember?
Flexi can draft each one for its day, for you to send.
