Short, practical guides to the paperwork that piles up after hours. Each one shows how to do the job by hand, with a worked example. You don’t need to buy anything to use them.
- How to write a late payment reminder that keeps the customer. Three reminders, when to send each one and the threats to leave out.
- How to write a job quote customers understand. What goes in, quote or estimate, and four things to confirm before you send.
- How to respond to a negative review. A four-part reply, the reviews to handle differently and how to count repeat complaints.
- How to see a cash crunch coming. A five-week cash flow table from 90 days of bank history, and the dips it can hide.
- How to write a procedure your staff can follow. Interview yourself, write steps with a clear finish and test the sheet once.
- How to find out what customers want from your social media. Count what customers say and tell a real change from one loud comment.
How we write these
We use AI to help write these guides, and we review them before we publish. The examples use made-up businesses. Nothing here is legal, tax or accounting advice, so take those questions to your advisers.
Want the drafts done for you? The After-Hours Kit has a tool for each of these jobs, built on the same rules. Tell a tool what happened and it drafts the work. You check it and send it. $10 once.
