What should a solo founder automate before hiring?

Automate the follow-up before you pay someone to do it. You add an unpaid invoice (forward the invoice email, snap a photo, import a CSV or type it in), confirm it, and PayPigeon sends the follow-ups to your customer by email and SMS in your business's name, each with a pay-now link, until it is paid. Reminders stop the moment the invoice is paid.

What a person still adds is judgement on disputed or unusual accounts; the routine chasing runs on the schedule: a heads-up email 3 days before the due date, then a text on day 1 after the due date, a text on day 5, an email on day 10 and a final email on day 21, each at 10am in the customer's local time by default, inside quiet hours, never on Sundays.
