Make it easy to say yes

An invoice is a request for money. The clearer it is, the faster it gets approved. List each deliverable on its own line, include the project name your client uses internally and add a short note thanking them for the work.

Pick the right due date

Net 30 is a habit, not a rule. For new clients, a 7 or 14 day due date is common and rarely questioned. Automatic reminders handle the follow-up so you don’t have to.
