Sales Ledger Management and Credit Management Department Outsourcing - Getting to Grips With it and Learning the Do's and Dont's from www.thecreditagency.co.ukHow many businesses can say that all of their invoices are paid on or before their due date, and they have no bad debts? Statistics say, very few. The likelihood is that your business, too, is losing out on the benefits of higher levels of working capital. When any business examines their longstanding or 'aged' debt reports, one of the first things they look at is the bad debt, and, in particular, debt over 90 days old. These are generally considered to be the areas of concern, and so they are naturally the accounts that are first chased for collection. Chasing the old accounts first (dependent upon value) is, indeed, the correct action to take, but surely it would be better to prevent accounts getting to 90 days, 60 days, or even one day overdue in the first place? Next time you take a look at your aged debt report, don't just look at the value of accounts over 60 or 90 days old, but calculate the value of all overdue accounts. Think for a moment how much better off your business would be if that money were at your...more

There are always companies out there that you hear comments about like, "that's the best place to work," or "I heard they have the best benefits," and you occasionally run across a job ad that sounds like the position was custom-built for you.When you come across these types of companies or opportunities, it pays to be professional and persistent until you get a job there. It may only take a couple of months or it might take several years. You may need to finish your degree or get more specific experience. Nevertheless, if you have decided that this is where you want to work, then do something about it.Get the interviewThe first step to get a position with a specific company is to secure an interview. Make sure your resume is tight, with the best experience, the best skills and the latest format possible. Create an incredible cover letter that further explains why they should be interested in you and then send them to the recruiter.Wait from one to three weeks depending on the position and the company and then contact the recruiter.
