Frequently Asked Questions
How can I ask for late payments without feeling like I'm damaging the therapeutic relationship?
The best way to preserve rapport is to remove yourself from the process. By utilizing a digital Dunning engine, the 'system' becomes the enforcer. Automated reminders act as a neutral third party, allowing you to remain the supportive coach while the software handles the cold logistics of billing.
Should I continue sending meal plans to a client who hasn't paid their previous invoice?
Continuing to provide deliverables during a payment lapse devalues your expertise. A Dunning engine can be configured to trigger a 'stop-work' notification automatically, which professionally informs the client that services are paused until the account is current, removing the need for a confrontation.
What is the most effective way to handle clients who consistently ignore manual follow-up emails?
Consistency is key in collections. Manual follow-ups are often sporadic and easily ignored. An automated Dunning system applies relentless, professional pressure through a scheduled cadence of reminders that increase in urgency, making it clear that the payment is a requirement for continued service.
