    What do you do if you sent client an invoice 32 days ago and today they email with more work?

    Do you remind them and continue with the work? Remind them and do new work when paid? Do the work and wait a week to remind them b/c it's only 2 days over? Other?

    • Shit, that's hard. You want the work but you are unsure if they will even pay you on time. Can you come up with a different agreement for this work? 50% down?studderine
    • When was your last reminder?bklyndroobeki
    • Do you send a reminder at 30 days?

    • I'd wait a few days after 30 and then send a reminder. Sounds like you are in that window...studderine
    • Reminder at 30 days. Tell them there's an accounting hold on their file as their last invoice is past-due. Ask them to clear that up now so you can get started.monNom
    • Errrr, yeah 33 days now. I'd say you're in that window.bklyndroobeki
    • Yeah, send a statement. I usually send one a week after the 30 days. Although my consistent/ongoing clients usually pay at 45-60Josev
