Ep. 150 - Demand Letters That Actually Work

from Business SOS! Common Legal Mistakes Business Owners Make and How to Avoid Them

Somebody owes you money. You've called. You've emailed. You've been patient. Nothing's happening. The demand letter is the step between asking nicely and filing a lawsuit — and for most business disputes, it's the most important move you'll make. But not all demand letters are created equal. Some get checks in the mail within a week. Others get laughed at, ignored, or used against you in court. In this episode, Rich Sierra breaks down the five things that make the difference: getting to the point so you're taken seriously, presenting facts instead of frustration, making a specific demand with a hard deadline, stating consequences without crossing into threats, and following through when the deadline passes. Whether you're writing the letter yourself or hiring an attorney, these are the principles that get results.
