PROMPT

Optimize my invoice-to-cash cycle. 1) Ask for my current terms, typical project size, and customer mix (B2B/B2C). 2) Propose new terms using a tiered policy: - first-time customers, - repeat customers, - high-risk / chronically late customers. 3) Provide invoice wording that includes: due date, accepted methods, late fee language (optional), and a "pay now" CTA. 4) Provide a one-page customer announcement email explaining the change diplomatically.

How It Works

Long terms, unclear invoices, and clunky payment methods all slow you down. This byte

audits your current setup and produces a tiered terms policy, a fast-pay invoice

template, and a rollout plan so you can change terms without losing customers.

What You Get

  • A "fast-pay" invoice template checklist
  • A tiered terms policy by customer type (new, repeat, high-risk)
  • A rate card for early-pay discounts and late fees
  • A rollout plan and customer announcement email

Setup Steps

  1. Gather your current invoice template, terms, and payment methods
  2. List your top 10 customers by revenue
  3. Run the byte and review the proposed tiered policy
  4. Send the customer announcement email before new terms take effect

Tips

  • Changing terms on existing customers requires diplomacy — the rollout plan matters as much as the policy
  • A "pay now" button or link on every invoice is the single highest-impact change for most SMBs
  • Early-pay discounts (e.g., 2/10 Net 30) often pay for themselves in reduced AR days
  • Test new terms on new customers first before rolling to your full base
