Return on Investment

No matter what we spend our money on, we want to feel as if we received value for our dollar ... that our return on investment was positive. And in today's tight economy, we have to be even more careful that our spending decisions are the best not only for ourselves, but for our department, and our entire organization. The time and money that you invest to attend NACM's Credit Congress & Expo is one of those choices that's easy to make ... you know that the benefits, knowledge and professional contacts gained will far outweigh the time and money invested. Make plans now to attend, May 16-19 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Fighting 'Fires' at the Office: 'Crisis Mode' Is Standard

A recent survey by Accountemps indicates that managers spend a good portion of their week "putting out fires" at work, leaving less time to tend to strategic business issues. Seventy-one percent of executives polled said they respond to unexpected crises at least a few times a week, including 35 percent who address such issues every day. What should a manager do to change this scenario? Perhaps they should think about hiring someone to tend to the "fires", so that the manager can deal with the strategic business issues, such as building revenue and communicating company goals to staff.

Most credit managers and personnel managers know that the best, most obvious place to find qualified, experienced candidates is at NACM's Career Center. But do you? Go to www.nacm.org to visit the Career Center now, and find that perfect someone to help put out fires!
