Have You Billed Every Job?

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐛?


We have a lot of trade-based businesses as clients. The most important topic I discuss with them all is ensuring they invoice for every job they complete. 


If you’re a tradie and you have a call-out fee of $100, how do you know you have charged for every call out? It can be only one hour a week that you are missing. However, that is over $5,000 per year. You miss charging one customer per week, that is $5,000 per year. That’s a good family holiday, or a couple of cartons of beer a week.


Now imagine if that was 2 jobs per week!


▪️ What is your process to ensure you record every job you have booked? 

▪️ How do you schedule every job you need to complete? 

▪️ How do you record when every job is complete? 

▪️ How do you note when every job is invoiced?


The hardest part of running your business is getting the work, doing the sales, preparing the quotes, and explaining the quotes. You won the work. Now, what is your process to ensure you get the work done and you get paid?


Customers don’t always pay. Don’t make it easier for them by not even invoicing them.


What is your process?
