A clean invoice — and the 7 emails that get it paid
Anyone can make an invoice. The hard part is the follow-up. This pack gives you both. Free.
The invoice is the easy bit. The reason you’re not getting paid on time isn’t the invoice — it’s that there’s no system after you hit send.
So this pack is two things: a clean, professional invoice template, plus the exact follow-up emails I sent hundreds of times running my own agency.
Billing a monthly retainer? There’s a walkthrough for that exact loop: how to invoice clients for monthly retainers.
What’s inside
The invoice template
Clean, professional, with the stuff that actually speeds up payment: a one-click pay link, clear due date, your terms up top.
Pre-due nudge (3 days before)
Catches lost invoices before they're “late.”
Day-of reminder + gentle follow-up (3 days over)
Friendly, not chasing — and gives them an easy out.
Direct check-in (7 days over)
“Anything holding this up?” — surfaces the real blocker.
Firm but fair (14 days over) + final notice (30 days)
The one that gets you paid in 48 hours, and the one that gets forwarded to accounts.
Payment-plan offer
For when they genuinely can't pay it all at once.
The same 7 emails, sent for you
Copy and paste them, or let Handl send them
This pack is the sequence I sent by hand for years. In Handl the same cadence is a setting: pre-due nudge, day-of, then the follow-ups, each one branded as you and sent on schedule until the invoice is paid.
Start with the pack. The day you forget to send email number four is the day you’ll want it automated.
