late-invoice-chaser
Chase an overdue invoice and actually get paid — a firm-but-friendly escalation ladder that protects the client relationship until it's clear the relationship is the problem. Use when asked to chase an unpaid invoice, my client hasn't paid, write a payment reminder, or how do I get a late-paying client to pay. Produces a staged sequence of messages (gentle nudge → firm reminder → final notice → next steps) timed to the overdue days, with late-fee and work-pause options and a note on what to keep for the record.

# Late-Invoice Chaser Freelancers and small businesses lose more to unpaid invoices than to bad pricing — and the reason is usually awkwardness, not the client's cash flow. A calm, escalating sequence removes the awkwardness: each message is warmer than you feel and firmer than the last, so you get paid without torching a good client — and you have a clean paper trail if it comes to that. ## What This Skill Produces - **The staged sequence** — 4 messages tuned to how overdue it is: friendly nudge → firm reminder → final notice → next-steps letter - **The timing plan** — when to send each, based on your terms and days overdue - **The levers** — when to mention late fees / interest (if your terms allow), pausing work, or withholding deliverables — and how to phrase them without a threat - **The record note** — what to keep (invoice, terms, delivery proof, every message) in case it goes to a formal demand or small claims ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The invoice** — amount, invoice date, due date / payment terms, and how overdue it is now - **The relationship** — long-standing good client, new client, or already rocky - **Your terms** — do they allow late fees/
