A small change to my invoices got me paid on time
I had one client who was always late with payments. I started offering a 5% discount if they paid within 10 days, and it worked like a charm. What other tricks do you have for keeping cash flow steady?

Oh that's nothing... I just threaten to send my most annoying cousin to "helpfully review their accounting processes" in person if the check isn't cut. Honestly thought about offering a 90% discount for paying me today, or maybe just paying them to take my invoice. At this rate I'll be paying clients to use my services.

@the_oliver that whole payment waiting game is the worst. Had a client once who just would not send the check, kept saying it was in the mail. Idk, maybe it's just me but I started sending a photo of the finished job every single day with a different sad filter on it. Like a sepia tone shot of their gorgeous new floor looking all lonely. They paid pretty fast after that.

Is that too much passive aggression though...
