Late Payment Emails

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle the awkwardness of asking for money from a client who has entrusted me with their home?
The 'awkwardness' stems from the personal nature of the service. By implementing a digital Dunning engine, you shift the 'bad cop' role to an automated system. This allows you to maintain a warm, personal relationship with the client while the software handles the cold, hard logic of billing and reminders.
What is the best way to prevent clients from 'forgetting' to pay after I return their keys?
The most effective way to prevent payment amnesia is to use an automated workflow that sends a reminder 24 hours before you vacate the property. A Dunning engine can automate this sequence, ensuring the invoice is at the top of their inbox exactly when the value of your service is freshest in their mind.
When should I officially stop offering services to a client who hasn't paid?
Professional contractors use a 'stop-work' or 'block-booking' trigger. Instead of manually deciding when to say no, you can set your automation software to automatically block a client's ability to reserve future dates on your calendar as soon as an invoice hits the 30-day past-due mark.
