DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING OF PERSONNEL IN COLLECTOR BUSINESS
In any business, communication skills and negotiation skills are difficult to overestimate. Professionals know that the greater the “polarity”, the distance from the common goal, the more difficult it is to negotiate.
Of course, negotiations between the collector and the debtor (especially the debtor who refuses to repay the debt) are classified as the most difficult and “hard”, because in addition to the “polarity” of goals, there is also the polarity of the methods and tools used to achieve these goals. If the debtor uses the entire “arsenal” of convictions, from direct threats and obscene language to hysterics and crying, then the collector has such a set of “instruments” of influence limited by the law and the ethics of business negotiations.

Effective credit policy of the enterprise
Why is there a need for an effective credit policy?
Due to the high level of competition in the food market, the situation is such that in order to increase the attractiveness of its products, enterprises are forced to lend to wholesale-level operators, and those, in turn, retail stores.

Tales of Consulting Tribes
The development of the consulting services market goes through the same stages as other business lines. First, in the literal sense, all who feel like it are climbing. Then, most of these “enthusiasts” because of their incompetence and, apparently reconsidered, leave this battlefield. The rest are gaining experience, but over time it also becomes clear that they, due to certain reasons, are far from providing professional services at the output. Personal experience is no longer enough, and even approaches developed on the basis of common sense cease to justify themselves. The market at the same time is filled with new representatives who have not only theoretical training, but also real work experience in the area in which services are offered.

But to date, the market has experienced some difficulties thanks to consultants, who, fortunately for the customers, have already left the consulting market. Continue reading
