How many times should I follow up with a Procurement Officer (clicked but didn't reply)?

First reminder 3 days after due date, then 7 days, then a call. Follow up within 24 to 48 hours of the click while the page is still in their tab graveyard. After that, send a breakup note and archive it. A procurement officer who wants it will answer a clean close more often than a fifth bump.

Should I apologize for sending an invoice reminder?

No. You can be polite without acting like asking to be paid is a favor. State the facts, offer help if something is blocked, and keep the next step obvious. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Should I mention that they clicked my email or page?

You can, gently, if your relationship and industry make that normal. A lot of buyers find it creepy. Safer: reference the topic they likely cared about and ask a question about that topic. Let them keep some privacy. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Is it okay to send this invoice reminder on LinkedIn instead of email?

One context line and one question is plenty. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
