Occasionally new customers will request an account application we need to balance between offering this service and extending our credit and cash flow
Ideally we would not offer any accounts as is takes time to collect, we have risk that we wont be paid however some companies insist especially larger ones
GUIDE
We don't normally extend credit unless customer has traded with us for 3 months and is expected to have 4 or more transactions every month (for exception sales manager can make decision)
If admin staff have customer asking as regards obtaining account from JJ
then accounts to note customer details ( company name , contact person and contact number or email address ) and email those to sales manager and general manager
note - we dont want accounts staff to promote to customers to get an account but we just want to understand how many customers are asking for this
--
matt / brad to action after that and we will update guides based on examples
