If you aren’t sending your clients detailed invoices, you are opening yourself up to angry and confused clients. Think about it… What do you do when you open mail that you aren’t sure what to do with? You set it aside and decide you’ll deal with it later. Right?

Your clients are doing the same thing! If someone opens and invoice and isn’t sure what it’s for, it will get set aside to be “dealt with” later. But does later ever come?

If your client opens an invoice and asks themselves “what the heck is this $10,000 invoice for?” they’re not going to be in any rush to investigate or pay it.

What happens next is that they put your invoice in the “What the Heck?” pile. This pile will exist until you call and ask about payment.

Once your contact approves your invoice, their accounts payable department needs to go through the proper channels to get it approved, and then they cut a check.

Why Are Detailed Invoices Important?

This is a pain in the butt and can easily be avoided by making sure that the invoice is well detailed from:

• Description of service.
• When the work was performed.
• Who the work was for.
• Possible PO number if required.

This is very easy to overlook but also a very easy way to make a difference in how quickly you get paid.

Cut out the “What the Heck?” Pile and get paid 25% quicker simply by adding details to your invoices. It’s that simple.
