Are they past net 30? Email them and tell them to pay you. They don't reply to the email? Call them. They owe you money. Get it in your bank account.

I'll have my accountant follow up politely first. After another 7 days i'll follow up directly just reminding them it's outstanding and that I can get my accountant to resend it if they haven't received it. If it's still late I'll email again with a deadline for payment and threaten getting a debt collector involved — thankfully never had to come to this.

Do like the credit card companies do. Keep calling & emailing. Hopefully a late percentage is on the invoice.
