Inefficient debtor management can hurt your business by causing irregular cash flow, increased bad debt and strained relationships. CreditorWatch has compiled a list of steps to improve your debtor management:
1. Reduce manual tasks: Minimising manual tasks will save you time and can reduce the room for human error.
2. Centralise your systems: Controlling your accounts in one central location allows you to quickly assess the state of your accounts and pursue payment where necessary.
3. Prioritise differently: Focus your debt collection based on risk and the value of the debt, not just how old the debt is.
4. Send consistent reminders: Ensure you are communicating with your debtors regularly across all stages of their debt.
5. Stay efficient: Make sure you do not allow accounts to drag on for too long. Invoice on time and regularly follow up.
