This time of year, accountants are busy checking off items on the year-end checklist. It’s a good idea to check accounts receivable and invoices to ensure that your hard-earned revenue flows into the business as you approach year-end. The question invariably arises, ‘how do you get your customers to pay their invoices faster?’ Let’s consider how technology use in the business to consumer (B2C) sector has influenced the expectations for convenience when transacting in the business to business (B2B) sector.

B2C Expectations in the B2B World

For many, the conveniences of doing business in our consumer lives have set expectations about how payment for products and services in a B2B context should be. For instance, the automatic bank deductions to pay electricity bills to keep your lights on or cell phone bill payments keep people connected; the omission of these conveniences when transacting in the B2B world is noticeable. It also means you have an opportunity to improve customer service.

Consumers benefit from easy payment options every day, but we don’t always see this as much in the B2B world. Omitting these payment options ultimately causes more dollars spent and more time, effort, and energy lost. It’s even a reason that some of your customers may not pay their invoice on time, out of sight, out of mind, with no simple payment option.
