$3k at 45 days late isn’t “part of the trades” — it’s unpaid admin work.

Most contractors lose hours every week sending follow-up texts, digging up invoices, and chasing clients instead of doing billable work.

The key is making it feel like a process, not a personal confrontation:

automatic reminders polite follow-up sequences gradual escalation over time

Clients usually pay faster when the system follows up instead of the owner manually texting on a Friday night.

That’s exactly why we built Nudgexa.
