5 Warning Signs Your Credit Management Is Costing You Money
1No Formal Credit Policy: Sales teams extend credit based on gut feeling, leading to inconsistent limits and unexpected bad debt that hits your bottom line.
2Aging Receivables Keep Growing: Without a structured AR aging review process, overdue invoices pile up unnoticed until they become uncollectible write-offs.
3No Risk Scoring System: You treat a brand-new customer the same as a loyal long-term buyer — exposing your business to unnecessary credit risk.
4DSO Keeps Climbing: Days Sales Outstanding creeps higher each quarter because there are no clear payment terms or enforcement triggers in place.
5No Approval Workflow: Anyone can override a credit hold, and there is no documented escalation path — leaving zero accountability when things go wrong.
