Deterioration of affairs for a construction company
Customer questions:I was approached by the director of a small construction company. Now things are not important business firms. Besides, can not get the debt from the customer for the work performed.
My answer:
Go there in the near future expected amount? No. Expectations about improving financial situation is not justified. Additional treatment (calls, calls, inquiries, letters) to anyone on the matter, will not help. The answer will initially normal, calm, but then will be given information that angry. Want to immediately do something about it, this desire will be held. And again the hope that all will be well. Instead of "good" is further stagnation on this issue. I do not see that because of non-receipt of this amount, it would have been too bad. All the permissible aisles. Remember, in the past similar situations arise. I think the situation to obtain this amount will be delayed too, which can then lead to a crisis or conflict, but not with those who have this amount should be, but somewhere in the industrial sector (not working). If I'd known objects, which employ or suppliers would be able to determine more precisely the manifestations of the crisis. With that, to date, you do not even suggest that this is going to happen there. So advice: be prepared in advance (think of think), as will be explained when it happens. It would be better to choose a benevolent, friendly, hail-fellow tone, rather than business-dry. What can be done to take? Do not engage in vain, and to continue to work, to prepare for the deterioration of the financial situation. Those who work, should be informed that funding will not, but !!! Explain that this is not a crisis that in the future everything will be fine. If there is a situation that I see (take in more wealthy banks, firms, clients, customers, object, and give smaller banks, the company, customers, clients, object), it should be done. Or, for example, change with any company: you give them a larger facility in exchange for a small. Actively seek new objects to enter into new transaction (contract) is likely such objects had not engaged, they will be new to you. They should be a sufficiently long period to invest small amounts. Ie "exhaust" will not immediately, but will.
