Billing and Collecting Basics

No Pay! No Service!

No Pay! No Service!

  • Does a no pay, no service policy seem harsh to you?
  • Is it unreasonable for you to expect that a customer pay their bill in order to get additional services?
  • What percentage of your customers are not current with their payment, but you are providing a service on a regular basis?
  • What percentage of you payroll cost is being spent on serving non-paying customers?

 

What It Means To You:

  • You must implement some level of “no pay, no service” policy.  If that seems harsh to you, than start the policy at 30 or 60 days delinquent.
  • Paying customers quickly become non-paying customers when there is no consistent billing or lax enforcement of outstanding balances.
  • On-time paying customer waiting to be serviced behind late or non-paying customers leads to lost customers.
