Sending invoices and payment links
The shortest path from completed work to cash is a clean invoice and a payment link that actually gets opened.

An invoice nobody opens might as well not exist. Timing, clarity, and a one-tap pay path matter as much as the dollar amount.
Send while the work is still fresh
Same-day or next-morning invoices convert better than end-of-week batches. Attach the job summary so the customer recognizes the visit.
Make the ask obvious
Lead with amount due and a payment button. Put line-item detail below. Dense PDFs that bury the pay link lose mobile customers.
Automate polite reminders
A short sequence—day 3, day 7, day 14—recovers more cash than sporadic follow-ups. Stop reminders the moment payment clears so you never look tone-deaf.
