I personally pay for a lawn service company for my house and the way they handle their billing is a way I’ve never seen before. It’s so simple yet so genius.
They invoice the customer for the full month. The customer pays the invoice, they schedule their services weekly or biweekly as normal through that month. The next month, they invoice again. If the customer doesn’t pay, they don’t get scheduled out for that month. If the do pay, then business per usual, their services get scheduled for that month.
I wanted to put that in here just in case! I’ve never seen it before until I began working with them. I think it’s pretty straightforward. Send out the invoice, receive payment, schedule services. Don’t receive payment, don’t schedule services.
This is really interesting thank you for sharing. All of the suggestions have been very helpful and give me a lot of options to think through. I appreciate all the feedback.
