I've had clients pay within two days of sending them an invoice - fantastic, but I also have someone whose payment has been outstanding for seven months! It is a piddly little amount but he keeps giving me excuses including sob stories about his wife leaving him and freezing the bank account.

The thing is, I could have given him lots of referrals so he has actually lost out on much, much more in revenue than my invoice amount.

I meet him at FSB and Chamber of Commerce meetings and I only wish I had the hard neck to embarrass him in front of others at the meeting!
