Open your A/R aging report right now and look at the 60-plus column. Go ahead, I will wait. For most contractors I work with, that column holds tens of thousands of dollars. Work you finished. Trucks you rolled. Materials you paid for out of your own account. That is not a receivable. That is your money, sitting in someone else's bank, earning them interest.
And here is the part nobody says out loud: you have not chased it because chasing it is miserable. Every unpaid invoice is an awkward phone call you keep meaning to make. So the 47 days become 61, the 61 become 94, and every week that passes, the odds of collecting drop. The invoice does not age like wine. It ages like milk.
The Sprint removes the two things actually stopping you: not knowing where to start, and not knowing what to say. You send us one export, the A/R aging report you already have in QuickBooks or ServiceTitan. Within 24 hours you get back three things.
First, a ranked chase queue. Not alphabetical. Ranked by the math that matters: balance, age, and collectability, so the first call you make is the one most likely to put real money in your account this week. Each line tells you who, how much, how old, and exactly why they are ranked where they are.
Second, ready-to-send collection emails, written per customer, referencing their actual invoices and amounts. Firm without burning the relationship, because most of these customers will hire you again if you handle this right. You paste, you adjust a word if you want, you hit send.
Third, call scripts for the ones who need a phone call, personalized to each situation: the slow-pay commercial GC, the homeowner who "never got the invoice," the property manager waiting on their own draw. What to say, what they will say back, and what you say then.
By Friday, you are not the contractor who is owed money and vaguely stressed about it. You are the contractor with a plan, working a queue. That shift alone is worth more than $97, and it usually pays for itself with the very first invoice that clears.
