How do I collect unpaid invoices before Chinese New Year?
Start earlier than you think. List every unpaid invoice by how long it is overdue, message the oldest and biggest first, make paying easy, and tell customers your last working day so they pay before the break. Old debts get harder to collect once the holiday starts.
List by age and size
Put the unpaid invoices in one list, oldest and biggest first. Those are the ones to spend your time on.
Message early, then firmer
Use a short friendly reminder with the invoice attached, then a clearer one with a pay by date. Telling a customer your last working day before the break gives them a real deadline.
Make paying easy
Put your bank account and the invoice number in the message, so the customer can pay from the phone without asking.
How Lucco Boss helps
It lists who is overdue and for how long, writes each reminder with the invoice attached, and sends it only after you reply 1.
Questions bosses ask
When should I start?
Several weeks before your last working day, not in the last week.
Should I phone the big ones?
Yes. A call to your largest overdue customers, after the message, is worth the time.
