SEMINAR: PRACTICAL CREDIT CONTROL, DEBT COLLECTION & RECOVERY MASTERCLASS OCTOBER 3-4, 2019 | 2 DAYS (NAIROBI)
Greetings!
“Having bumper sales may NOT mean having bumper profits”
Sounds familiar? Very often, the problem is poor credit control and debt collection.
Collecting accounts receivable without having adequate skills of negotiation could mean leaving money on the table.
On the other hand understanding negotiations and not having the required collection skills could reduce performance and recovery rates.
A well trained employee in credit management and debt collection means increased cash conversions, reduced credit risk, optimal resource utilization and great return on investment but many employees find credit control and debt collection frustrating and tough.
This 2 day high impact seminar will provide you with critical, fool-proof techniques that will help your company improve credit management and debt recovery. The workshop helps you to understand the debt collection cycle, precautionary and reactive actions, techniques and mediation in order to collect overdue credit, minimize the risk of bad debts and understand the legal parameters of such activities along with techniques in recovering overdue debts.
A better understanding of the credit assessment policy and its control mechanism, which covers credit evaluation and credit limit review, would lay down a strong foundation to manage your company’s risks to minimize bad debts.
With an abundance of practical and engaging collection and negotiation scenarios the program is tailored to challenge linear thinking that make the lessons practical and lasting. The program is designed in a manner to tutor new collectors and at the same time stands as a refresher for the more experienced.
