How soon after invoice due date to remind the client

    I personally wouldn't chase anything up which hadn't reached the end date, regardless of how soon it is normally paid. I would send a polite first reminder reminder immediately after the due date. Any subsequent reminder would mention late payment penalties.

    If the situation were reversed and someone sent me a reminder before the end date I would make sure they were only ever paid at the last minute.

      Sorry agreed - wait until day after end date then phone them, you can try a polite reminder but if you want paying then speak to them directly - it may affect your relationship with client going forwards but if they mess you around paying invoices they are not a client you want or need.

        Fairly concerned.

        Like I said they usually pay within a matter of days. I'm going to send a reminder tomorrow afternoon.

            You make a good point.

              I wouldn't chase anything. However I would have a "catch up" call with the pimp and drop it into the conversation.

                Monies received. And I didn't have to chase!

                On to the next one.
