How I Learned the Secret to Getting Overdue Invoices Paid — Without Going to Court or burning bridges.

Every sole trader has one of these — an overdue invoice. You’ve sent the friendly reminders, you’ve waited weeks, maybe months… and nothing. It just sits there. Dead money.

I've created a simple effective system which gets overdue invoices paid in as little as 48 hours.

Here's the story of when I first saw the system work.

In my earlier career, I worked for a large mining company, where multi-million dollar transactions were standard, and suppliers relied on prompt payments to keep operations moving.

One day, we received a delivery of materials valued at $140,000 — a critical order that arrived exactly as requested. The supplier had fulfilled their side of the deal, and as per our 30-day payment terms, they were expecting payment soon after.

But a month later, instead of a professional reminder, we received something different: a specific letter from the vendor requesting payment.

I watched as my superintendent, with no hesitation, reached into a towering stack of invoices, pulled out the invoice in question, logged into the system, and processed the payment immediately.

That was the moment I learned one simple truth:

1. Some clients will never pay unless they’re given a serious reason.

If you’re skeptical, good — bring me your toughest invoice, the one you’ve almost written off. If we can’t recover it, you don’t pay a cent.

So the question is simple: do you want your money sitting in someone else’s pocket… or in yours?

It’s unfortunate, but in the business world, overdue invoices are often ignored until the pressure is on, and some clients intend to never pay at all.

If your invoice is more than 10 days late, it has a high chance of defaulting, 10% of invoices in Australia are written off.

​I have over 20 years proven contract management experience with Australia's tier 1 Engineering Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) mining and construction industry.

Tier 1 mining and construction companies don't have an issue with overdue invoices, because they have the correct contracts and systems in place.

You don't need expensive lawyers, or to send the boys around, and polite reminders are a waste of time, you just need to know the specific words to get clients motivated to pay immediately.

Most contractors laugh when I say overdue invoices can be avoided, but the reality is, they don’t have the right contracts and systems to protect themselves.

Show us the invoice you’ve given up on — if we can’t recover anything, you pay nothing.

Most contractors think contracts need to be long or have legalese, but in reality, if you want invoices paid on time, there’s only one simple paragraph your contract needs, and most contractors don’t use it.

Forget the fancy paperwork—give me a beer coaster and a pen, and I’ll knock up a contract that gets your invoices paid on time.

In the worst case scenario, where I can't recover your overdue invoice, I'll give you some FREE advice to improve your systems.

I believe every contractor deserves to be paid fairly, on time, and without hassle.
