How do you handle clients who ghost you after the job is done?
I run a small remodeling crew. Just had a $8,400 invoice go 90 days past due. Client stopped replying to calls and texts. I know small claims is an option but it's a week of my life I don't have.
What do you actually do when this happens? Do you send formal demand letters? Use a collection agency? Just eat the loss?
Also — do you use any software to text customers when their job is done? I'm spending way too much time on "is it done yet?" calls.
