Payment reminder via email – Templates to maximize long term revenues
We have created best practice templates for you to maximize the chances to get paid and retain a good relationship. Both aspects are taken into consideration and the templates are created to maximize your revenues over time.
The best practice is to send two escalating payment reminders, the first email is a polite reminder and the second email is more direct to the point and explains the consequences of not paying.
Below you can find the templates for both the polite- and the final email reminder (send the polite email first).
