Bernstein's new book, Get P.A.I.D.(TM), lays out model to help make it through
trying times
PITTSBURGH, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Everywhere you look, it's a crisis.
Credit crunch, subprime mortgage, gas prices hitting the roof, and it's enough
to make you wonder how any business, much less a small or startup business,
can make it through alive. Bob Bernstein, a nationally renowned creditors'
right attorney, has come up with a solution.
"Time and time again, I saw the same mistakes being made. The same
processes being skipped, the same incorrect philosophies taking root," said
Bernstein. "Many small businesses, especially, provide easy credit to their
customers, thinking this will foster better relationships. But when they don't
pay, that philosophy backfires. You can end up losing both the money and the
customer."
He decided to do something about it. His new book, Get P.A.I.D.(TM), lays
out an innovative strategy for businesses to successfully manage their credit
policy and collect for their sales. As past president of the Commercial Law
League of America and The American Board of Certification, the country's
leading bankruptcy and creditors' rights certifying organization, Bernstein is
an expert. Get P.A.I.D.(TM) is Bernstein's comprehensive system for businesses
and credit managers to increase profits, reduce costs and delays, while
developing better relationships with customers.
The book advances a radical new philosophy; credit policy isn't just about
collections. It's a business strategy to enhance customer relationships and
add value to a company.
The four steps to the Get P.A.I.D.(TM) method include:
-- Preparation: An explanation for developing an effective credit policy.
-- Assessment: Steps for assessing credit and defining the proper
precautions to integrate the credit information with your credit
policy.
-- Implementation: A timetable for acting quickly on late payments.
-- Defense: Strategies for dealing with deadbeats
"The way credit is handled can impact a company's bottom line and can
affect the relationship a company has with its vendors and customers," says
Bernstein.
Get P.A.I.D.(TM) is the first in a series of books and training materials
to help businesses reframe their credit policies, be more responsive to
customers, and increase their profits. The Get P.A.I.D.(TM) book is available
at http://www.getpaidsystem.com, http://www.amazon.com .
