Getting Paid Shouldn't Be This Hard

You did the work. You earned the money. But collecting it feels like a second job.

60%
Of Payment Problems Come From Prevention Failures

Most contractors get burned because they never set clear expectations upfront. No deposit, vague contracts, no late fees. By the time payment is due, you have no leverage.

$4,200
Average Uncollected Payment Per Contractor

One bad client can cost you thousands in lost revenue, legal fees, and time spent chasing payment. Most contractors write it off and eat the loss instead of fighting for what they earned.

3X
More Effective When You Act Early

Friendly reminders within 7 days have a 60-70% success rate. Wait 30 days and success drops to 20-30%. The longer you wait, the less likely you get paid. Speed matters.

Real Situations This Kit Handles

Payment problems follow predictable patterns. This kit gives you the exact tools for each scenario.

The Forgetful Non-Payer
Invoice is 12 days late. Client is not responding to texts or calls. You don't want to be aggressive but you need to get paid. What do you say?
Use the staged escalation templates starting with friendly reminder texts, then formal letters, then pre-lien warnings. Each template is proven to work and escalates appropriately.
The Cash Flow Excuse
Client says they can't pay for 60 days due to cash flow. You need the money now. How do you negotiate without losing everything?
Payment plan agreements let you get something upfront while working with legitimate cash flow issues. Forms protect you if they miss payments.
The Pre-Contract Red Flags
Potential client keeps negotiating price down, mentions problems with previous contractors, and wants to skip the deposit. Should you walk away?
Red flag scoring system shows you have 4+ flags. Client screening scripts help you decline professionally without burning bridges or explaining why.
The Scope Creep Trap
Client has asked for five extras without wanting to pay more. You've done three already. Contract is vague. How do you charge for the rest?
Change order forms create written approval before doing work. Contract templates prevent vague scope from happening in the first place.
The Mechanics Lien Threat
You're 35 days past due on a $15,000 job. Friendly approaches failed. You need to file a lien but don't know the process or deadlines.
Pre-lien warning letters often get payment immediately. If not, lien filing guidance walks you through state-specific deadlines and requirements.
The Bad Review Retaliation
Client left a 1-star review claiming you did terrible work. It's not true. You're getting fewer calls. How do you recover?
Response templates help you reply professionally. The 30-day recovery plan shows you exactly how to bury bad reviews with positive ones from happy clients.
