Our Subscribers Say...
"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."
Doug M. Thomas
Kimberly-Clark Customer Financial Services
"As a corporate credit manager with over two decades of experience, I consider Credit Today to be one of the best credit newsletters. Whether it is because of Credit Today's management, its distinguished panel of advisors, or the caliber of Credit Today's subscribers, it would be fair to say that some of the best and brightest minds in our profession are represented. The credit issues, technologies, news, credit department profiles, etc. are interesting and useful. Credit Today is a valuable reference and communications tool which I look forward to reading each month."

2005 Credit, Collection, and A/R Benchmarking Survey
Is your staff size appropriate? Are you overstaffed? Understaffed? How does your staff size impact your ability to conduct critical functions? … And, how would you really know the answers to these questions? Not idle questions, these. . . In fact, they may be the most important questions a credit exec should be asking these days. We’ve just wrapped up our analysis, after extensive data-gathering, to give you some good hard data from which to explore these questions in our Credit, Collection, and A/R Staff Benchmarking Survey! We’ve just finished a detailed and revealing survey of over 400 credit execs on their collection, and A/R staff benchmarking survey, which examines in detail such items as:
- Staff size for credit, collection, and A/R functions relative to sales, A/R size, industry, and other metrics
- How various tools are impacting staffing and efficiency
- The impact of industry or line of business on staffing requirements
- Efficiency in cash application processes
- Full time equivalent (FTE) benchmarks for all credit and collection functions, broken down by function, and compared to A/R and company size, as well as a host of other variables
- quality in the above functions. After all, efficiency is important only if you still maintain good results. For example, you can be fast at checking orders, but does that cause DSO to suffer?

Credit Today Staff Benchmarking Survey Reveals How Credit Resources Are Deployed
Perhaps the central challenge facing credit execs these days is the issue of efficiency. With extremely low wage foreign competition in virtually all sectors driving business decisions, managers at all levels must constantly evaluate how efficient they are, and certainly, credit execs are no exception. And one of the best ways to know how efficient you are is to benchmark your staffing needs in comparison to those in your peer group. Further, just knowing the raw data on staffing probably isn?t enough. After all, quality still counts. So it's important to try to assess how well you can operate with a given staff . . . keep reading
