Get P.A.I.D.TM: A Guide to Getting Paid Faster advances a radical new philosophy, suggesting that credit policy isn't just about collections. It's a business strategy to enhance customer relationships and add value to a company. The strategy discourages businesses to provide easy credit to their customers based upon the commonly held belief that easy credit will lead to stronger customer relationships. It usually leads to added cost and friction. The book outlines Bernstein's 4-Step Program to prompt payment and provides a "Collections Toolbox" to help businesses better manage their credit policies.
