What’s your go-to move when a customer doesn’t pay on time?

Do you send a reminder, make a call, wait it out, or have a process you stick to every time?

In this episode of Masters of Home Service, Wilson Betances (EnergizeUs​) talks about:

  • Why unpaid invoices are a major cash flow problem
  • What happens when invoicing and follow-ups aren’t taken seriously
  • Simple systems and habits that businesses can actually maintain

  • We do our collections twice a week.  We do not take on any jobs without credit card being on file.  We only had a few bad debts over the 16 years.

      Helpful to hear how you handle this! Do you use the same approach for both small and big jobs, or does it change?

        Same approach to big jobs as well.  We mostly do residential cleaning and the commercial cleaning accounts we have they do mostly bank transfers.

    Business Owners: Remember we are the weakest link in our companies.

    I learned that the hard way… 

    This was such a fun conversation to have - thank you all for the opportunity.
