• Setting a deadline by when credit decisions should be made
• Periodically reviewing the credit approval process

• Improving the customer-onboarding process
Better billing includes:
• Sending invoices quickly
• Ensuring that invoices are accurate
• Automating the billing process
• Creating an online customer portal
Better collection includes:
• Enforcing payment terms
