Coming to Terms with International Customers
Over 70 percent of the world's purchasing power is outside of the United States, according to a report by the International Trade Administration. With international markets posting positive increases in spending, selling overseas might be the next logical step to growing your business. However, international clients do not only mean longer shipping routes. Payment terms, credit checks and your accounts receivable systems, which work beautifully for domestic clients, will need an overhaul to work internationally. go to article
Management
Change Management 
"Change alone is unchanging," said the Greek philosopher Heraclitus. The marketplace is in a state of constant flux. Old products and processes are constantly being replaced by newer ones as improvements become possible and customer demands change. Economist Joseph Schumpeter called this process of constant replacement creative destruction. Companies and departments that embrace creative destruction can thrive; those that resist will be left behind.

Processing – Cash Receipts
Are You Using These AR Best Practices?
Financial transaction processing in today's environment is a critical operation for any enterprise. No matter the size of an entity or the nature of its business, there are logical, sensible and proven practices for cash receipts. Expediting receipts processing is a facet of reducing the cost of operations. In 2001 Ernst and Young conducted a study and concluded that accounts receivable operations within the transportation sector incurred costs that ranged from two to four percent of a total invoice. Even more importantly, good AR practices improve cash flow and cash management flexibility. While every organization must adapt best practices to its own circumstances, all can benefit from better cash receipt practices.

Promissory Notes
Despite your best efforts, invoices sometimes don't get paid in a timely manner. When this happens, one option you can extend to late paying clients is the promissory note. A promissory note is a formal, legal promise that your client issues to you stating they will pay you a sum of money under specific terms. Often called a "note receivable" or even simply, a "note," a promissory note can be an effective tool for AR to get their money (possibly with interest!) go to article
