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.

What should I say in a follow-up email after an interview?

Thank them for a specific part of the conversation, add one example you didn't get to, and restate interest in the actual work. Keep it under 150 words. Then stop. Daily pings after interviews read as panic, not enthusiasm. 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?

Yes if this CEO is actually active there and the thread isn't about payment details. Keep the LinkedIn version even shorter. Don't paste the full 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.

What should I never say in a Real Estate invoice reminder?

Don't joke about 'winning the deal.' It sounds like a seminar. A long origin story or a request to 'pick your brain.' Don't recap your whole résumé. They were in the room. Those three mistakes show up constantly in Real Estate inboxes and they all read as "this was templated."

How soon should I follow up after a showing?

Same day, while they still remember the hallway that felt small and the light in the kitchen. Waiting until the next afternoon lets the next agent write the story of the house. Keep it specific to the property, not a general 'just checking in.'

Subject

[Company Name] / days on market

Body

Hi [First Name],

This is a reminder, not a scare note. Invoice [number] is still open.

I'm writing because a price cut, a listing anniversary, or a rate move that changes buyer math. If this needs to be split across two cost centers, I can reissue it.

Given this is after an interview, reaffirm interest and ask for the timeline if they didn't give one.

Who on your side should I talk to if this isn't your queue?

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]
