What Makes Payment Reminders Valuable
When dealing with a customer who has missed a payment, it’s important to maintain a professional image. Harassing someone who has missed a payment not only shines a negative light on you and your business, but it’s unlikely to get anyone to pay their balance.
While it’s frustrating when a customer hasn’t paid (especially for a small business), maintaining a cool composure and not coming off as pushy will benefit you in the long run.
So, here are five templates you can use to request an outstanding payment without sounding pushy:

Additional Tips for Putting Together Payment Reminders
• Never sound threatening
• Offer an easy way to pay within your reminder by sending the client a link
• Always offer assistance by inviting clients to reach out to get any questions they may have answered.
• Don’t mention consequences
• Don’t reach out more than once per week. Any more frequent than this is too pushy/ aggressive.
