Synergy and Change Meetings. Counseling sessions. Annual reviews. Many reading this are most likely conjuring negative images in their minds by simply having read these three forms of collaboration. Each plays a different role in both our personal and professional lives and, unfortunately, some, if not all, are not viewed favorably. more... |

ICEL - Compassionate Civility in the Workplace She voiced concern that civility has become eroded in our society. It has deteriorated in our interactions in government, in our businesses, in the media, and in our schools. In general, this lack of civility is a major problem in the world we live in and examples of incivility continue to plague our society more and more each day. more... |

Ethical Decision Making As I was doing some reading this week for a Business Ethics class that I am taking at UVU, I was thinking about some of the situations in my career when I have been faced with an ethical dilemma. I have been a Corporate Credit Manager for the last 28 years, and can think of several instances when I have had to make an ethical decision. I think at some point everyone in an organization will be faced with an issue that will require ethical decision making. That is certainly true of top management positions, but is also true of every worker in an organization. more... |

The Power of Listening How often have you been in a conversation when the individual you are conversing with seems more interested in getting the next word or thought inserted rather than truly listening to what you have to say? If you are like me, such experiences can be frustrating because two-way communication is not being achieved. Your comments are nothing more than a springboard for someone else to add his or her commentary. Such exchanges demonstrate that no effort is being made to truly understand what you have to say. more... |

Kick Start The New Year With Collection Techniques That Really Work I start with running an aging and a lien report every morning so I can see where I am on each account and which accounts paid the previous day. I then send friendly email reminders about a week before an account rolls past due, reminding them month end is coming up and there will be a finance charge if not paid. I attach a copy of their aging. more... |

Credit Confessions: E-Mail Roulette Sadly, I helped this one go the wrong direction. As a national company, I deal with companies all over the U.S. One particular out-of-state construction company is a stickler for making us abide by their rules and regulations. So I'm just as adamant that they stick to these same rules and regulations. The other day, they were pushing all the wrong buttons so I pushed right back . . . more... |

You have lost money on a customer which could have happened in many ways: they went out of business; they sold their business and the new owners won't take responsibility, they went out of business; or they filed bankruptcy.

A Blessing Called . . . Work "Work is four letter word." "Back to the salt mine." "Back to the ole grind." We've heard them all before - phrases that communicate the drudgery of work. Most likely, you have caught yourself uttering one of these phrases or similar phrases from time-to-time. Hey, we're all human. Such phrases only become of concern when they are used frequently and reflect an all-consuming negative slant on work. more... |

Your Perceived Value The great basketball coach, John Wooden once said, "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts." And isn't that true of all of us. In our professions, no matter where we are in our skill-set or years of experience, that we sometimes believe that we know all there is to know in order to do our jobs each day. I'm a big fan of Davy Tyburski, founder of CREDITandSALES.com who is well known for saying, "It doesn't matter where you are at today. What matters is what are you doing from today forward to increase your perceived value within your organization?" more... |

Setting Proper Credit Limits How many of us have had to deal with customers going over, doubling or tripling their credit limits? Yep, that's what I thought, all of us. How can we make sure that we have realistic expectations of credit limits per customer? Do we simply go off what they request on the credit application? How often is that even close to what they do? A few things we can do to make sure our customers' credit limits are where they need to be are as follows: more... |

Make the Banging Stop! As credit professionals, we face a never ending battle of making the best out of a bad situation. Whether it is a good customer on a poor job and a poor customer on a good job, it is our responsibility to make sure that our companies are protected and they get paid for the work they do. Having the support of sales and management on your side helps in winning that battle. I have been able to develop a strong relationship with my sales force - they know that I am just as invested in them getting sales as they are and now I get a "Heads Up" and even a "Thank You" from time to time more... |
