Effective Credit and Collections

Collect more. Fund safely.

18 courses · 7 case scenarios · 20 refreshers

Most collections training teaches people to collect their own company’s receivables. Your team collects on receivables you have financed, where an invoice that ages past the eligibility cut-off stops being funded, an offset quietly erodes availability and a payment to the wrong account is a risk, not a nuisance. Every course is written for that job.

For collectors and collections teams.

7 case scenarios

Investigate, decide, and see the cost of delay.

Seven scored case files, each with a running figure: funding lost, exposure, or the amount recovered.

Month-End at Ashby Components

Five business days, eight invoices, and an eligibility cut-off that doesn’t move.

The Trucker’s Offsets

Three good customers are paying less and less in cash. Nobody has said why.

Late Delivery, Again

Two customers say the goods haven’t arrived. Harrowden funded the invoices weeks ago.

The Customer Who Went Quiet

Your client’s biggest customer used to pay like clockwork. Now it doesn’t answer the phone.

Payment Gone Astray

The customers say they’ve paid. The money keeps turning up later, from the client.

The Disputed Delivery

A big customer sends a debit memo, and stops paying altogether.

Ridgeway Interiors

The client has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. The ledger is all Harrowden has left.
