Which payment incentives can you and your customers feel good about?

Answer:

Customer relationships are delicate. You don’t want to do anything that will make good customers go elsewhere. However, you do need to make sure you get paid. Start out by making it easy for customers to pay their bills. If non-payment goes on too long, sit down and talk to your customers to see if there’s a way to get payments flowing.
