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.

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.

How to use it

Don't follow up only when an invoice is already late. Send the pre-due nudge every time. Half your “late” payments are just invoices sitting unopened in the wrong inbox.

Get it free

Drop your email and it lands in your inbox — fill in the brackets, send it with your next proposal.
