The stress saving strategy for invoicing complaints

Dealing with invoice complaints can be one of the most painful parts of running a trades business. 

In this episode we will help you make those complaints far less painful!

During the episode Tony and Phil are going to share with you different strategies and tactics to deal with customers who aren’t happy when it comes time to paying.

Which will help you a lot if you:

  • Find yourself discounting just to settle a disagreement
  • Feel undervalued and unappreciated dealing with complaints when you know you've done a good job
  • Get frustrated wasting time resolving outstanding invoices

After listening you’ll understand how you can avoid difficult situations. 

And for the complaints you can’t avoid, you’ll learn to ask the right questions. 

This helps your client understand where you’re coming from, and why their invoice is fair and needs to be paid.

Getting you back the control and power, so the outcome is the one you want.

Let’s get into it!
