Use before the due date for customers who usually appreciate a clean reminder.

Free Swipe Pack · Service Business AR
Five invoice reminders for work that is done but not yet cash.
Use this as the first human-approved version of an invoice follow-up workflow. The goal is not to sound aggressive. The goal is to keep polite payment follow-up out of the owner’s memory and in a measurable queue.
The free pack
Start with copy your team can approve before automating anything.
First overdue reminder
Use 1–3 business days after due date.
Checking in on invoice [invoice #] for [amount], originally due [date]. Can you confirm whether this is scheduled for payment, or if you need anything from us?
Promised-payment follow-up
Use when someone already gave a payment date.
Following up on invoice [invoice #]. You mentioned payment would be sent around [promised date]. Is that still on track?
Escalation without drama
Second overdue reminder
Use after the first reminder gets no reply.
I wanted to resurface invoice [invoice #] for [amount]. We haven’t seen payment or an update yet. Please reply with the payment status or the best person to route this to.
Owner review note
What the internal queue should show before any stronger action.
AR review: [customer], [invoice #], [amount], [days overdue], [last touch], [promised date if any], [relationship notes], [recommended next action].
Automation map
Turn the swipe pack into a daily cash-recovery queue.
Capture
Open invoices, due dates, amount, customer, last touch, promised payment date, and project status land in one daily queue.
Prioritize
Sort by amount, days overdue, customer relationship, and whether the customer already made a payment promise.
Draft
Create the right reminder draft from approved language. Keep all sends human-reviewed until the owner approves the policy.
Measure
Track reminder lag, recovered cash, repeat late payers, and where AR slips from normal follow-up into owner escalation.
No legal threats, discounts, or account changes without human review. This is a polite operational queue, not collections advice.
