Texting you
Sound familiar?
- Small service calls that never get paid because they're not worth the awkward phone call.
- Builders holding your progress payment until they get paid themselves.
- Homeowners who loved the work but forgot the invoice in their inbox.
How your employee handles it
The $380 service call
Too small to ring about, too many to ignore. Your employee sends a friendly text with a pay link on day three and keeps at it until it's paid.
The builder who pays on 45 days
Your employee learns that a builder always pays late, notes it, and only chases when it's genuinely overdue.
Part paid switchboard job
The customer pays half. Your employee confirms the amount, thanks them and chases the balance on the date they promised.
Runs by text, like the rest of your business
No app to check on site. Your employee texts you when someone pays, promises or pushes back, and you reply with what you want done. Works with Xero and QuickBooks. Free on one invoice, paid plans from $19 a month plus GST.
Why not just text them yourself?
You could. Here's why most tradies stop.
You: Chasing a mate or a regular is awkward and can sour the job.
Your employee: Does the firm part, so you stay the good guy.
You: "I'll pay Friday" gets forgotten by Monday.
Your employee: Remembers every promise and checks again when it's missed.
You: You're sending reminders at 9pm after a long day.
Your employee: Works business hours while you're on the tools.
You: Customers end up with your personal number.
Your employee: Texts from its own Australian mobile number (paid plans), so billing stays off your phone.
Questions people ask
- Can it chase the small service call invoices?
- Yes. Every overdue invoice in Xero is chased on the same schedule, whether it's $150 or $15,000. Small ones are often where the most money leaks.
- What if a builder is waiting to be paid themselves?
- Your employee notes the reason and the date they give, goes quiet until then, then follows up. If it drags on, it tells you so you can decide what to do.
- I use ServiceM8, Tradify or simPRO. Does it still work?
- Yes. Connect ServiceM8 and your employee knows the job behind each invoice, so it can answer questions about the work. With Tradify or simPRO, if your invoices end up in Xero or QuickBooks, your employee picks them up.
- Will it upset my customers?
- It starts friendly and only gets firmer slowly. It texts on business days between 8am and 7pm, never on public holidays, never more than once every three days, and stops when someone replies STOP.
