2

3

Invoice generated from deal + contact data

4

5

The Problem

The gap between "deal closed" and "invoice sent" costs you money:

  • Cash flow delays
  • Manual data re-entry
  • Inconsistent invoicing
  • Forgotten invoices
  • Reconciliation headaches

Average delay without automation: 3-7 days

The Solution

The moment a deal closes, an invoice is generated, sent, and synced—automatically. No manual steps, no delays.

How It Works

Trigger: Deal Closes

When a sales rep changes deal status to "Closed Won":

  • Workflow fires immediately
  • Validates required fields are complete
  • Checks for special terms or discounts

Invoice Generation

System creates invoice with:

  • Client name and billing address
  • Deal products/services as line items
  • Quantities and pricing from deal
  • Payment terms and due date
  • Your branding and logo

Delivery

Invoice is sent via:

  • Email with PDF attachment
  • Online payment portal link
  • Stripe/PayPal payment button
  • Tracking for opens and clicks

Accounting Sync

Simultaneously:

  • Invoice created in QuickBooks/Xero
  • Mapped to correct income account
  • Customer record linked
  • AR updated automatically

Payment Collection

Automated reminders:

  • Day 7: Friendly reminder
  • Day 14: Second notice
  • Day 21: Final reminder + late fee warning

Payment Received

When payment comes in:

  • CRM deal updated to "Paid"
  • Accounting reconciled
  • Thank you email sent
  • Customer status updated

Edge Cases Handled

Partial Payments

  • Track remaining balance
