Turn Jobs into Cash Faster: The Payment Upgrade Your Business Needs

If you run a home improvement business, you know that nothing kills momentum faster than slow payments. You’ve finished the job, the customer is happy, but now you’re stuck waiting on a check – or worse, chasing down unpaid invoices. It’s frustrating, it’s inefficient, and it slows your cash flow.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. According to the Quickbooks State of Small Business Cash Flow Survey, 61% of small businesses report experiencing cash flow problems due to late payments. 

So, what if you could cut out the waiting, the manual tracking, and the awkward follow-up calls? That’s exactly what digital payment processing can do for you when it’s built in to your home improvement CRM, just like Builder Prime Payments.

The Painful Cost of Slow Payments: Frustration, Delays, & Wasted Time 

First, think about your last big project. You had material costs, labor costs, and overhead all stacking up. The longer you wait to get paid, the longer you have money tied up in a job that’s already done. You can’t use the money that you and your team have earned to pay your team, market your business, or take on new projects. 

Instead of focusing on running your business, you’re spending valuable time chasing down payments. That means endless follow-up calls, uncomfortable conversations, and delays that eat into your bottom line. 

And let’s not forget the worst-case scenario: some customers never pay. The longer it takes to collect, the more likely a customer is to disappear, dispute the bill, or simply refuse to pay altogether. That’s not just frustrating – it’s financially crippling.

When you get paid quickly, your business runs much more smoothly. Better cash flow means your business runs more efficiently without financial bottlenecks. Also, without having to match checks to invoices or wait for bank deposits, there is less admin work – freeing up time for ownership or other employees to do more high-payoff activities. 

The customer experience is also much stronger with a simple, professional payment process that results in less back and forth and potentially awkward conversations.

Real Results: How Xano521 Streamlined Payments, Won More Jobs, & Boosted Revenue

Jay Bryant, owner of Xano521, a concrete coatings company in Central Florida, knows firsthand how frustrating payment collection can be. “We went through multiple CRMs trying to find one that actually made things easier,” he explains. “The biggest challenge was getting everything to integrate – our CRM, QuickBooks, and payment processing.”

Before switching to Builder Prime, Jay’s team spent hours every week manually reconciling payments, matching deposits, and chasing down missing funds. “We had to call customers, call our payment processor, and dig through reports just to figure out what was missing. It was a nightmare.”

Once they implemented Builder Prime, everything changed:

• Reconciliation became seamless – Payments automatically synced with QuickBooks, eliminating hours of admin work each week.
• Staff saved 3+ hours per month – Jay personally saved two hours, and his team no longer had to hassle with back-and-forth payment tracking.
• Xano521 got paid more quickly – With easy online home improvement payments, customers could pay instantly, reducing delays.
• Revenue increased by 45% – A smoother process meant more closed deals and faster collections.

As Jay puts it, “We don’t lose payments anymore. Customers pay quickly, our team isn’t wasting time, and I get to focus on running the business instead of chasing money.”
