Why Plumbers Struggle with Collections
1. Emergency Jobs = Payment Delays
When customers call you at 2 AM for a burst pipe, they're stressed. Payment is often an afterthought until the crisis is over.
2. You're Too Busy to Chase
Between jobs, driving, and ordering parts, who has time to call 20 customers about late payments? So invoices sit unpaid for months.
3. Uncomfortable Conversations
You fixed their toilet or saved their basement from flooding. Asking for money feels awkward, so you wait... and wait... and wait.
