Late payments are horrible. Not just because they muck up your cash flow. But because of the "ick" attached to them. The awkwardness of chasing. That “am I being too pushy?” feeling. The ridiculous situation where you’ve done the work, but somehow feel bad asking for YOUR MONEY. There's often a gap between sending invoices and actually getting paid. Jenni Sampson helps reduce that gap - and reduce the "ick" too. In this episode of the Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast, Jason and I spoke to Jenni about how she built a simple credit control system that any small business owner can follow. It's a clear, step-by-step process for following up, using templates, scripts and simple confidence-building prompts. The result? Better cash flow. Less stress. No more guessing what to say. And much less of that horrible knot-in-the-stomach feeling when an invoice goes overdue. We also talk with Jenni about charging interest on late payments, whether the government's new "Small Business Protection Bill" will make an ounce of difference, and the importance of chasing debt promptly (and certainly before you pay VAT and Corporation Tax on it! 🤦) We talked about the whole journey on this latest episode of the Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast.
