FAQ
Do these guides apply to a business that doesn't extend credit terms?
The retention and lifetime value guides apply regardless. The ledger and credit management guides matter most once any customer is invoiced rather than paying immediately.
What's the single most important habit covered in this academy?
Reviewing an aging report weekly, so an overdue account is caught at 30 days instead of discovered much later at 90.
Does this academy cover marketing to customers?
No, it focuses on financial and relationship tracking: what's owed, credit risk, retention, and lifetime value, not acquisition or marketing tactics.
