You put off the follow-up
39% of owners avoid money conversations entirely. So the invoice sits another week, then another.

Sound familiar?
The reminder isn't the hard part. Knowing what to say is.
You write it off rather than ask
Nearly a quarter would lose 6% or more of turnover rather than have a difficult conversation.
Hours disappear into chasing
About 1.5 hours a week, or more than two working weeks a year, spent on work you've already done.
You don't know when to get firm, or what's allowed
Too soft and you're ignored. Too hard and you risk the client. Chase gives you a proportionate script for every stage.
From outstanding to settled
A clear next step for every unpaid invoice.
