As a salesperson or business owner, one of the fastest ways to kill your business is through careless credit sales.
I learned this lesson the hard way in December 2022.
There was a customer named Ekene who had been buying from me since around April that year. He was one of my best customers. Whenever I supplied products, he paid immediately. Over time, we built trust, and I became more flexible with him. Sometimes I would drop products in the morning and he would transfer the money later in the evening or even the next day.
