Our Subscribers Say...
I think Credit Today is fantastic. You cover many practical topics in the credit field that I use regularly. Just one recent example—a conversation on the ListServ about preferential payments—gave me tips that I used in an actual case. The specific information I picked up from this one discussion saved me $10,000, enough to cover my membership for many years!
- Steve Savino
Manager of Credit & Collections, ASSA Abloy Americas Division, New Haven, CT
Credit Today's Resource Directory and their online e-mail forum (ListServ) provide information on almost any credit-related topic you can think of. It is a great way to exchange information with other credit professionals. As the saying goes, "You don't know what you don't know."
- Scott Goen,
Credit Manager, Big Lots Stores, Inc., Wholesale Division
"We've recently started using the ListServ tool within Credit Today. This is phenomenal and powerful forum for gaining immediate feedback, ideas, and suggestions, relative to any credit topic under the sun, all in a real-time e-mail format."
-Javier Vela, Senior Credit Manager, Global Credit Services, JDA Software Group Inc.
"Being a part of the Credit Today online community is like having the expertise of hundreds of credit managers at your fingertips. These credit execs are willing to help you solve topical business issues as they arise. In the current environment of ever increasing competing priorities which reduce our opportunities to meet peers out of the office face-to-face, this is the most valuable tool you can have on your desktop! It's important that we have a mechanism to reach out to our counterparts quickly to exchange knowledge as well as to stay on top of industry trends."
- Victoria Artis, Director of Customer Financial Services, Pfizer, Inc.
"Over the last 10 years I've seen Credit Today evolve from a monthly credit publication into a quality source of information and guidance for the B2B credit community. The website, with its user friendly form downloads, will take you from examples of new account credit applications to bankruptcy forms and everything in between.
The Credit Today ListServ has become the pre-imminent online forum, providing an opportunity for discussion and comments (and occasional humor) from an impressive list of credit professionals."
David Dungan, Director of Credit
Justin Brands, Inc. (A Berkshire Hathaway company)
Fort Worth, Texas
"There are numerous credit periodicals available to the credit professional today. How good is Credit Today? Is it relevant? I always have to read it late, or online because my credit analysts want to read it the minute it comes in. When my staff wants to read a publication before I have a chance to read it then something is working in that publication. We have cancelled our other subscriptions. When you have the best you do not need the rest."
Ron Woods
Corporate Credit Manager-World Wide
Thales Navigation, Inc.
"The newsletter, coupled with the website and the ListServ, are to us, more valuable than any other credit publication, bar none. I try to use at least one article out of each newsletter for departmental training/discussion sessions."
D. Mark Constantine
Corporate Credit Mgr
Fulton Paper Company
"I love Credit Today and read every issue cover to cover. For me, the greatest perk of a subscription is ListServ. I believe Credit Today's ListServ members may be the most knowledgeable Credit brain trust in existence today. I have saved and categorized hundreds of contributions on a wide variety of topics which I refer to often. It's an easy and cost effective way to network and learn."

PRESS RELEASE -- M&A Activity in the Debt Collection and Accounts Receivable Management Industry Holds Steady through Q308 Despite Changing Economic Conditions
October 15, 2008
NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release # # # M&A Activity in the Debt Collection and Accounts Receivable Management Industry Holds Steady through Q308 Despite Changing Economic Conditions Kaulkin Ginsberg anticipates effects of financial market crisis is coming Rockville, MD: October 15, 2008 - The total deal value for mergers and acquisitions in the debt collection / accounts receivable management industry is at $1.8 billion at the end of the third quarter - barely exceeding last year's total of $1.7 billion, according to Kaulkin Ginsberg, the leading M&A and strategic advisor to the industry. A few high-value transactions in the first half of the year, especially in Europe where the ARM market continued to enjoy strong transaction multiples, contributed to this year's high deal value total. Four deals with over $100 million in deal value contributed to 81% of the total year-to-date. 29 deals closed through Q308, compared to 44 transactions as of third quarter last year - 69 percent of 2008 deals were made by industry buyers, compared to 40 percent of deals completed in the same period last year. The year-long economic downturn and credit crunch has definitely impacted the landscape of M&A across virtually every market sector. It will inevitably impact the ARM industry, although through three quarters of 2008, it has not yet been apparent. Kaulkin Ginsberg will address how the recent market turmoil is impacting the ARM market in an upcoming invitation-only teleseminar on October 21st at 1pm ET. Interested parties should contact Anne Strong, Marketing Director, at 240-499-3816 for details. About Kaulkin Ginsberg
