Harsh truth: you’re not “too expensive” — you’re leaking profit from two places.
Discounts kill margin; delays kill cash. Fix your scope, then fix your billing.
First, make scope so clear it sells itself. Write what’s included and what’s not in plain English, add a simple Definition of Done, and set a minimum viable price so you’re never negotiating from the floor. Extras aren’t “favour territory” — they’re paid add-ons (expedited delivery, extra revisions, extra users).
Then stop funding your clients. If the work’s done, the invoice goes out today, not “Friday”. Take a deposit on projects, automate polite chasers, and offer easy payment options (card/Direct Debit). Watch your Debtor Days like a hawk — if it creeps up, tighten the routine.
Don’t forget that your accounting software has two beutiful integrations - automatic chase up emails based on days to or past due date and integrating stripe (or other payment providers) with your invoices to make it super easy for clients to pay!
And if you don’t want to do all of this or you don’t want to be the bad guy? Then that’s something we can take off your plate! Send us a message or email [email protected] to dicuss how we can help!
