Follow-up plan + common mistakes

If no response, call 1 business day later and ask for the payment owner
If they reply “processing,” request the exact payment date immediately
If they give a date, confirm it back and follow up the morning after if unpaid
Don’t send multiple SMS messages in a row—one message, then a call
Don’t add long context; keep it one screen
Avoid sending outside business hours unless you’re sure it’s welcome
