If you have several clients that are sitting in the over 60 Days column, they are Past Due for payment and chances are they will move to the 90 Days column which makes them seriously overdue for payment. Your overdue clients maybe causing you to be late in paying your bills. Don’t let these clients affect your good credit and the way conduct business. Most businesses operate using the payment terms of Net 30, which makes clients sitting the 60-plus columns overdue for payment.


You could be sending overdue notices when a client reaches the 60 days mark or have your staff calling these clients. Both of these actions are costing you money. Especially if staff is doing collection reminder calls instead of selling.
