Appreciation post: paper invoices beat my fancy invoicing app for one stupid reason
Six months ago I moved my little lawn care gig in Boise onto a $29/mo invoicing app with reminders and auto-billing, and my late payments went from 3 a month to zero. But the app also emailed a client a reminder 4 hours after I handed him the paper copy, and he called me kinda ticked off like I was nagging him. So now I print a stack of carbon-copy invoices at the UPS Store for 12 cents each, hand one over, and the app only kicks in after 14 days. Funny thing is my collections are actually faster now because people pay the guy standing in front of them. Has anyone else found the app plus paper combo works way better than app alone?
