Remember those old, messy carbon copy machines? You affix the inky carbon paper on the cylinder and then run stacks of paper through the noisy machine. By the time you were done making a copy, you were practically covered in ink from head to toe. Ah, the good ole days! The machines themselves have become antiquated, but the power of a carbon copy certainly hasn’t.
“cc” stands for Carbon Copy. You can use the letters “cc” on your collection reminders to help add an element of pressure for the recipient. You may want to “cc” the president of the company or even make a general reference like, “collection agency/legal counsel”.
When it comes to an effective “cc”, less is more. Don’t “cc” a long list of people. Select only the appropriate persons. When you do, your invoices may suddenly become a little more difficult to shove to the side.
Adding a “cc” to your notices can be like adding the noise of a carbon copy machine. Make your invoices too noisy to ignore!
How do you make your invoices hard to ignore?
