| lessonOverview |
I went to college to become a credit manager- said no one, ever. This is one of the biggest challenges faced by credit execs. It is incredibly hard to hire new credit department talent. Business credit and collections required specialized talents that are not even taught in business school. Despite this, some companies have figured out how to attract the best talent, resulting in best-in-class DSO and bad debt metrics.
So, what is the secret sauce when it comes to hiring and developing credit talent?
Join this panel discussion with experts Shamaria Smallis, Scott Taylor, and Dave Schmidt as they discuss topics including-
1. Finding and attracting the right talent for your credit and collections teams
2. Developing a roadmap for learning and development
3. Creating motivated teams and incentivizing your credit staff even on a tight budget
4. Overcoming workload negativity
