Tip two: Send invoices early. Companies make a big deal sometimes out of their payment terms. Some will pay immediately, some 30 days some 45 and some 60. Whatever their procedure it can be nearly impossible to get around their system. What we have found successful is sending out our invoices so they are net 30 but due on the date the service will begin. For instance if we are providing a service that will begin May 1st then we send out an invoice on April 1st that is due net 30.
