Quality Education in Credit Management is a Must!
by Rebecca Mullins, CCE, Ferguson Enterprises
Credit management is so much more than credit limits and collections!
For some individuals it is a chosen profession, for others they have kind of just fallen into it. Let's face it, even if someone fell into credit, it has been a choice to stay.

I have attended training seminars, conferences, and been able to ask questions or reach out a hand to help other credit managers with some tough credit ideas. In my mind, we are all in this together . . . . Read full article

Sales & Credit, Interdepartmental Cooperation Possible
by Phil Boyer, Apex Staffing
A common thread in business is that nearly every company has experienced a certain amount of friction between their sales and credit departments. Sales teams often work long and hard trying to establish business relationships and secure orders from customers.
