“No matter how superior your product or service, you will not get ahead unless you spend time in vital administrative tasks such as accounting and invoicing. The most important actions for ensuring your invoices get paid are: 1) Submit invoices on time. Many companies have payment cycles, and if you miss the date, you may have to wait much longer for payment. 2) Submit clear, easy-to-read invoices that project a professional image and contain all the information necessary to pay you. 3) Keep detailed records you can show your clients at a moment’s notice if there is any question regarding the products and services you provided.”
