Program Overview
BAD DEBT is undeniably one of the major profit leak in an organisation. Many times, organisations are left
facing the challenge of how best to approach or resolve these issues in the least damaging way. What
more, the currently unstable economic climate makes it more compelling for organisations to collect debts
in an effective manner and yet be able to retain their customers. This training would cover the basics in
credit & cash flow management right from how bad debt occurs with methods to prevent the same,
through the steps of an effective collection call - both on the phone and face-to-face - with emphasis on
the importance of documentation / reports / procedures for systematic follow-up; including series of letters
and general tips for chasing your money too, by encouraging proactive methods.
Objectives
- To ensure participants are equipped with the necessary skills in collecting and minimising the
outstanding using a very professional approach, yet keeping the customer.
- To provide a thorough understanding of how bad debt occurs, how to prevent it, and the impact it has
on the organisation.
- To ensure that the team is equipped with the skills to manage / control / monitor collections on a dayto-day basis
- To ensure participants are better equipped in negotiating deals
- To equip participants with the skills in understanding the behavior pattern of customers (defaulters), in
order to ensure that they fine-tune theirs to that of each customer.
