A Business guide to getting paid kit is three of my most popular books combined together to give you a handy reference as you make collection calls and try to deal with excuses, how to choose a reputable collection agency when you need one and how to get paid from your customers on time. The economy has changed how we do business and how we get paid. This affects our biggest asset - our cash flow.
