How big is the contract? If it's worth it, sick legal and accounts receivable/collections on them.

If it's a platform access situation, shut it down. If you're delivering services or work on a retainer, cease work.

SMB on this one y’all. No credit card numbers no deal. No check no deal. No food stamps no deal. There never was a deal. Move on and make a real deal.

Maybe he’s sick? On vacation? Can you call the office and ask to speak with accounting?

Dumb question, but do they have net 30 payment terms in their contract? They would be able to wait another couple weeks before having to pay you if that is case.

Stop the service and/or implementation calls until payment is locked in. Also, and before that, call the general line and use them sales/bdr skills to get a hold of your contact or another billing contact to get shit done (have "bitch better have my money" playing in the background and you'll love the collections change of pace - I know this from experience :D ).

Use your controller as a boogie man: My CFO is on a tear and I wanted to make sure you didn't lose any service (or our implementation was set back) due to a simple miscommunication in the billing process.

Have they got an access already to your product or made a use of your services if yes, then talk to a lawyer if not then, wth block em back and never do any business with em again !

Ghost him for 5 days. Then call. Send a message that is easy breezy. Fughetboudeet.

I have done this a few times.
