Submit your invoice(s) on schedule. If you're working with a large company, they'll be handled by the Accounts Payable department, not by your direct client contact. Get to know the AP folks who are actually responsible for processing your invoices on a first name basis. Let them know you're a freelancer -- not a firm with unlimited cash flow. Thank them for their help in getting your invoices paid promptly. Remember them at Christmas/Hanukkah. You'll be glad you did.
