Late Payment Emails
Stop compromising your coaching authority by playing the role of a desperate debt collector; focus on landing your clients their dream roles instead of chasing their past-due invoices.
Collections Tip
Ensure your service agreement includes a 'Suspension of Services' clause, stating that coaching sessions and portal access are automatically revoked once an invoice reaches 15 days past due.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I stop payment conversations from ruining the rapport I've built with my coaching clients?
The best way to preserve the relationship is to outsource the 'heavy lifting' to a digital Dunning Engine. By using automated systems to send reminders, you position the technology as the enforcer of the contract, allowing you to remain the supportive mentor while the software handles the administrative friction.
What is the most effective way to handle a client who continues to book sessions while they have an open balance?
Automation is key here. A robust billing system or Dunning Engine can be integrated with your scheduling software to automatically block new bookings or cancel existing ones if an invoice remains unpaid past a specific threshold, removing the need for a confrontation.
Should I manually send demand letters if a career coaching client goes dark?
Manually chasing 'dark' clients is a drain on your billable hours. A Dunning Engine uses automated 'robots' to send a series of increasingly firm notices at pre-set intervals. This ensures your professional boundaries are defended consistently without you having to emotionally invest in the pursuit.
