11 Preface Credit is part science, part art, and part gut-feel. The trick is to get the right mix.while there is no one absolute right way to handle the credit, collections, and accounts receivable functions, there are a few that are totally and irrefutably wrong. It is the mission of this book to identify both for the reader. For the last eight plus years, I have been lucky enough to spend my days talking to credit professionals and writing about their successes and achievements, their trials and tribulations, and occasionally their catastrophes as a newsletter editor for IOMA s Report on Managing Credit Receivables and Collections. Much of what they have told me is reflected in this book. Thus, the suggestions and recommendations are not pie-in-the-sky advice but rather practical guidance based on real life accomplishments and failures. Before reviewing what is covered in the book, I d like to point out that there are many ways these functions can be handled. Often what works at one company will not at the next. This can be because the second company doesn t have the technology of the first, and because the corporate culture is very different or can be simply due to differing industry requirements.thus, many of the topics in the Tips & Techniques will cover a variety of approaches some applicable to more sophisticated companies and some to the less advanced. The book starts with a look at approving credit.this should be the first step for companies before they begin a relationship with a new customer although as many reading this are only too well aware, it occasionally ix
12 Preface occurs after the fact, after the salesperson has taken the order. Chapter 1 begins with an explanation of why business credit is so important, verifies that a business does exist, and examines financial statements in detail.the chapter takes a look at the way companies evaluate credit, the information many require on their credit applications, and the references many require. Ratio analysis, how companies evaluate new customers, and what documentation should be in the credit file are also examined. Many companies overlook the importance of their billing practices in the credit and collection process. An invoice mailed late will get a payment posted even later. Chapter 2 takes an in-depth look at invoices, the best way to design an invoice and best billing practices. An outsider might not realize that there are many things companies can and should do to their invoices to improve their ability to collect in the most timely and efficient manner and ultimately the company s bottom line. Electronic invoicing is one of the hottest topics in the credit arena today. Chapter 2 takes a look at the practice and also offers details about five of the products on the market today. Electronic invoicing is likely to have a big impact on business in the next few years, and thus it is imperative that credit and collection professionals learn everything they can about it. The book then goes on to take a look at the thankless task of collecting. Many in the collection profession feel that at best they break even. If they do a good job, no one notices, but the moment collections slip, management is watching them like a hawk and complaining. Unfortunately, many who have this complaint are quite accurate. Chapter 3 contains numerous tips that have worked for professionals in the field today. We look at both the old-fashioned letter writing and the more current practices of phoning, ing, faxing, and whatever else innovative collection professionals can dream up to get the money in the bank for their companies. x
13 Preface Applying cash is another thankless job in corporate America today. However, if the task is not handled correctly it causes problems for other professionals in the company and, in some extreme cases, can tarnish the company s reputation with prized customers. Chapter 4 looks at some effective accounts receivable strategies along with a discussion of the vaunted days sales outstanding (DSO) figures that so many credit and collection professionals are measured against. Unauthorized deductions, along with unearned discounts, cause credit professionals in certain industries (mainly those selling to retailers) more headaches than almost anything else. Chapter 5 examines strategies companies can use to minimize this haunting problem. The chapter also takes a look at techniques to use for timely dispute resolution as a few customers will use a small dispute (some say, imagined) to avoid paying large invoices. A smooth relationship with sales and marketing can make a big difference in the amount of Tylenol a credit professional must buy each year. Some lucky credit professionals have wonderful dealings with their sales force. Chapter 6 discusses the strategies used to either maintain or initiate a warm relationship with sales. Also included are some things the credit department can do to make the sales force s job just a little bit easier. Yes, you read that right if credit goes out of its way to help sales, it will reap the rewards. Most credit professionals insist that customer visits are key to completely and accurately evaluating a customer s financial viability. Unfortunately, some management don t agree. This is unfortunate because when a customer gets into financial difficulty and has a limited amount of money to pay suppliers, after paying key suppliers, it is most likely to pay those it has the best relationship with and inevitably, those are the ones where personal contact has been made with the credit professional. Chapter 7 looks at the best ways to plan and structure xi
14 Preface a customer visit along with some ways credit pros can squeeze in customer visits so even the stingiest of bosses can t complain. Inevitably, the sales department will eventually (or perhaps immediately) find a potential customer who does not meet the company s credit standards for open account terms. When this happens, the savvy credit pro finds a way to make the sale happen usually by getting some sort of security. Chapter 8 examines some of the techniques that credit professionals can recommend in order to make the sale happen. Some professionals think that credit professionals really need to be lawyers first. There are a number of laws that credit professionals must know about and avoid breaking as part of their job. Chapter 9 takes a look at some of the legal considerations surrounding credit and collection activity. Perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of credit is bankruptcy. It is a regular part of most credit managers jobs no matter how good they are. Chapter 10 describes the different types of bankruptcies, the rights of creditors, and what creditors should do to secure their positions. It also takes a look at what some consider one of the nastiest aspects of bankruptcy preferences. A preferential situation arises when all creditors in the same class are not treated the same. If one or more has received a payment that the courts deem to be preferential, they are ordered to return it to the bankrupt company s estate. This chapter discusses some of the ways that a creditor hit with a preference claim can fight that claim. Without a doubt, the credit profession has changed more in the last ten years than it did in the previous 20. Many of these changes can be attributed to technology and the things that credit professionals can do as a result of the introduction of many technological advances. Chapter 11 takes an in-depth look at technology currently in use in today s leadingedge credit departments. xii
15 Preface The credit profession has undergone revolution. This roller coaster change is only at the first curve. The skill set required of the credit professional in the coming years continues to expand. Chapter 12 takes a look at a number of resources credit, collection, and accounts receivable professionals can use in the upcoming years to keep themselves in the credit game. Those who sit still will not succeed, but you ve already taken the first step by purchasing this book. Good luck it will be an exciting adventure for those who choose to participate. xiii
