Cash management is a vital component of healthy business practice! Here’s a few simple guidelines for client invoicing and payments:
- To avoid mistakes in invoicing make sure that every staff member using Kitomba understands how to make a sale correctly!
- If you are offering a discount on a product/services make sure you create a discount code for each discount on offer – this will allow you to track via the Discounts Used report how often the code is being applied and the value of the discount given away.
- If you are running a time bound promotion set the discount code to have a start and finish date so it won’t be available after the promotion ends.
- If your reception area gets a bit chaotic and you want to save time then use the “Prep Sale” function – this creates the invoice from the appt booking and then you only need to add upsold services and product sales when your client gets to reception.
- Ideally balance your till every day so you can easily identify any invoicing/transaction errors, this is simple when you use the Cash Drawer Reconciliation Wizard.
- Create strong guidelines for cash management in your Policy and Procedure manual….building it into your opening/closing procedure is ideal!
