How Do You Ask for a Payment Made?
The polite way to ask for payment is to find out first if your customer has received the goods or service he ordered, and is totally satisfied. Once you have been through the steps to find out that the order is complete, and the invoice is correct, it is easy to follow on and politely ask for payment.
