| Business Tips |
|
| Effective Billing Practice |
| Developing an effective billing plan can speed up receivables and prevent late payment problems. Take a look at some ways you can protect yourself from slow paying clients. |
Make an effective invoice
You should outline the details clearly, accurate and easy to decipher. Make sure you include the amount due; purchase order number; name and address of customer; and complete details of your business like name, address, and ID number. |

The name and phone number of a contact person in your company should appear, in case there are any questions. Itemize the charges if possible. In case any problems appear with your services, a clause instructing the customer to contact you should appear in the invoice.
Proper mailing of invoices
The earlier you send invoices out, the earlier payments will come in. Try to send invoices within a day or two upon delivery of your product or project completion.
Make sure you bill the right person
Billing the wrong person can cause delay as much as 30 or 60 days as it goes around a company. To avoid this, talk directly with your client and get the name of the person you should send your bill. If the person to receive the bill is other than your usual contact, make a phone call and introduce yourself before mailing the bill. If the receiver is your client’s bookkeeper or someone in the accounting department, copy your client as well and proceed with a phone call.
Don’t forget to follow up
Making follow up phone calls to know its status will prevent an invoice from getting ignored by the bookkeeper. A quick follow up call can verify that your invoice was taken and is being processed. If payment does not come by the expected date, check in with the bookkeeper again to know when the invoice will be completely processed, and do make some weekly follow up until you receive the money. |
