1. The "Before You Start" Trick

📌 Action: Send a pre-invoice with:

• 50% deposit requirement

  Result: Cape Town web devs report 80% fewer payment disputes

2. The Psychology of Invoice Design

🎨 Why It Works:

• Red "Due By [Date]" = 22% faster payments

• Your logo + brand colors = 15% more trust

3. The Follow-Up Formula

🗓️ Auto-Reminder Schedule:

1. 3 days before due: Friendly SMS

2. Day 1 late: Email + link to payment

3. Day 7 late: Phone call + 10% fee notice

4. The "Payment Method" Boost

💳 Offer:

• Instant EFT (like Ozow)

• Credit card (via Prompt Invoice’s secure portal)
  Data: Clients pay 3x faster with digital options

5. The "Discount" Lever

💰 Try: "5% off if paid within 24 hours"
(Warning: Only for reliable clients!)

6. The "Friday Afternoon" Secret

⏰ Send Invoices: 3-4pm Fridays
Why? Highest open rates (clients planning weekend expenses)

7. The "Tax-Time" Advantage

🧾 Script: "Need your payment to issue your Section 18A certificate?"
(Works wonders for NPO clients)
