Template library › Partial payment · 30 days · Firm
Turn an unpaid balance into a written instalment plan with a missed-payment clause.
“The longer and softer you make it the more it reads like you think you're being unreasonable for wanting to get paid.” This one is short and direct, with no “sorry to bother you”.
When a client says cash is tight, a written plan often recovers more than escalation.
