The Freelancer Get-Paid Kit
Everything you need to chase an unpaid invoice from day 1 to collections — without writing a single awkward email from scratch.
What's inside
- The Get-Paid Playbook (20-page PDF) — the exact escalation timeline from 3 days before the due date to collections, with what to send and when.
- 26 reminder templates — email, text/SMS and LinkedIn, in friendly, firm and final-notice tones. Includes payment-plan offers, dispute replies, work-pause notices and the "thank you for paying" email.
- 5 phone scripts — first call, "we're processing it", "we can't pay right now", the dispute call and the final call — with responses to common pushback.
- Contract clause library — copy-ready wording for deposits, Net terms, late fees, work suspension, collection costs and kill fees (general wording, not legal advice).
- Payment Tracker spreadsheet (.xlsx) — works in Excel and Google Sheets. Auto-calculates days overdue, late fees and the next action to take, with a dashboard of what you're owed.

Questions
Why pay when the generator is free?
The generator writes one message. The kit gives you the whole system: when to send each message, how to escalate across channels, what to say on the phone, the contract wording that prevents late payment in the first place, and a tracker so nothing slips.
How do I get the files?
Right after checkout you'll get a download link for a ZIP containing the PDF guides and the spreadsheet.
Does the spreadsheet work in Google Sheets?
Yes — upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and open with Sheets. All formulas work in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers.
Is the contract wording legal advice?
No. It's general example wording that many freelancers use. Laws on late fees and interest vary by location, so have a qualified professional review your contracts.
