Greetings!
 EMBRACE THE CHAOS 
How many times over this past 10 days have you wondered ‘What now’? Like you, I too have felt the fear of not knowing what will be and feeling vulnerable to an ever-changing future for which I have no control, until I had an epiphany.

From chaos comes clarity, like the dawn, every new day brightens the last remnants of the darkest nights before - Morning is coming - it will be bright again, so rather than wondering about those dark and scary places let’s plan for tomorrow by using this time to improve, restate, and recreate our business policies so once Covid goes, profits come 

CHAOS CURE: DO NOT FALL PREY TO DESPERATION SALES 

During this time of financial crisis, while your focus must be on sales, keep in mind that a higher percentage of customers will default upon payments due, therefore if you can predict which of these customers are most likely to become slow-pays or no pays you may improve your company’s future bottom line 

C redit terms may still be extended but should be reserved for those customers whom are vetted first and determined to be an acceptable risk- 

H ave alternative payment options available for those customers who are too high a credit risk during this financial crisis-

A ccelerate collection processes when necessary, waiting may change a slow-pay to a no-pay -

O perate lean, conserve your cash flow by not lending more than you can afford to lose -

S how empathy and understanding whenever appropriate knowing we are all in this together
