a client kept “forgetting” to pay, so they’d ask me to resend the invoice every week. after the fifth time, i set a reminder to email it daily until they paid. they finally called, yelling, “why are you spamming me?” i said, “just following your instructions.”
*UPDATE:
so a lot of you are asking what happened next. after i sent the invoice 14 times, the client finally called me—voice absolutely dripping with indignation—and said, “why are you spamming me?”
i calmly replied, “oh, i thought you needed it resent. just making sure you’ve got it this time.” there was a pause. the kind of pause where you can hear someone’s soul leave their body for a second. then they mumbled something about “getting the check sorted” and hung up.
the best part? they paid that same day. all 14 invoices were marked as “read” in my email tracker within an hour.
moral of the story: sometimes, the squeaky wheel doesn’t just get the grease—it gets paid.
