Payables: Protect Cash Without Burning Vendor Relationships
Tip 1: Schedule payments instead of paying randomly
Paying as invoices arrive drains cash unpredictably. A weekly or bi-weekly schedule gives structure so you always know what’s going out. Vendors appreciate consistency more than speed.
Tip 2: Communicate early if you need flexibility
Vendors get frustrated when they are surprised, not when they are informed. A quick message buys goodwill and protects the relationship. Most vendors can accommodate you if you’re proactive.
Tip 3: Track all upcoming bills weekly
Forecasting payables prevents cash crunches. When you know what’s coming, you can align outflows with incoming revenue. Control beats chaos every time.
Attention spans are shrinking. Get proven tips on how to adapt:
Mobile attention is collapsing.

Today, it’s just 2.2 seconds.
That’s a 35% drop in only 7 years. And a massive challenge for marketers.
