Due to their limited budget, small companies may only be able to make the majority of their purchases on credit. By selling more on credit, small enterprises could have a competitive edge over companies that don’t sell on credit. On the other hand, selling on credit exposes a business to risks of unpaid invoices, which increases the need for extra monitoring and management of payments.
   

Get paid on time with these tips:

Get organized!

Start by setting up a professional credit application that gives you a chance to gather as much information on your customers as possible.

Start early

Implement a system that allows you to remind customers when they have a payment waiting around the corner.

Remind, remind, remind

As soon as a payment is past its due date, send a reminder by mail.

Prepare for excuses

Get acquainted with the most common late payment excuses  and learn how to respond to each one.

Use the credit limit

Without a doubt, a credit limit is the best way to ensure that a customer will practice proper payment behavior when it comes to accounts receivable management.

Don’t wait

Upon discovering that a payment is late, don’t wait. Start calling immediately!

Collection call

Prepare for the call and be ready to accomplish your goal. Work with the customer to create a payment plan that meets both of your financial needs.
