Common Invoicing Mistakes That Hurt Cash Flow
Costly Billing Errors
- Vague Descriptions: Instead of 'Consulting - $1000', write 'SEO Consulting: 10 Hours @ $100/hr'. Ambiguity requires clarification, which delays payment.
- No Bank Details: If they have to email you back to ask how to pay, you've failed.
- Sending to the Wrong Person: Always confirm who handles Accounts Payable. Sending an invoice to the CEO of a 500-person company guarantees it will be ignored.
