Can I be real with you for a second? Back in the day, when I was a baby freelancer doing presentation design, I used to invoice people for my work. (I know. Yikes.) And not only that, I invoiced them after the work was done. 🤦♀️
Let’s just say, that was a fast-track ticket to Cash Flow Hell. I’d spend weeks chasing down payments, wondering if I should send another friendly “just checking in” email or hire a carrier pigeon. Sometimes clients would get the invoice and suddenly go MIA (like, did they get abducted by aliens?), and a few flat-out skipped paying altogether.
As a small business owner trying to keep things afloat, this was a major problem. Cash flow matters! But here’s the thing: when I finally switched from invoicing to using checkout pages and started asking for upfront payment, things got real interesting. We’re talking 10x revenue and my highest sales month in 10 years of business.
So, why the dramatic change? It wasn’t just about having a snazzy checkout page (though that helps). The real magic was giving people an easy way to pay. And when you make it simple for clients to say YES, they will.
Why Invoicing Is Costing You Clients
Invoicing your clients slows you down and reduces your earning potential. Don’t believe me? Consider these three points:
🐢 Invoicing adds extra steps: Sending an invoice, waiting for your client to open it, pay it, and then confirm payment? That’s like adding five extra pit stops to a road trip. Not fun.
🐢 Invoicing creates hesitation: Your client might be pumped to work with you, but every extra step gives them time to rethink. And nobody wants to give a client that much time to think. You want to close the deal NOW.
🐢 Invoicing feels less professional: Invoicing is starting to feel a little old-school, right? Especially in a world where checkout pages do all the heavy lifting. You’re a premium coach—your payment process should look the part.

What to Do Instead of Invoicing
Imagine this: Your client is ready to book your coaching package right now. They’re excited, credit card in hand, and instead of waiting for an invoice or dealing with PayPal, they click a button and boom—done. Easy for them, instant cash flow for you. 🤑 That’s the power of a well-designed checkout page.
When you offer your packages directly through a branded checkout page, you take the guesswork out of it for your clients. They can book you in a few clicks without the stress of an invoice hanging over their head.
