INDUSTRY TRADE CREDIT GROUPS
THE VALUE
Industry Trade Credit Groups consist of credit managers and professionals from the same industry that periodically meet to discuss credit information, customer payment history, industry trends and industry-specific events and best practices. Credit executives receive invaluable factual information upon which to base independent decisions with respect to the extension of credit, resulting in the reduction of outstanding delinquent receivables and write-offs.
BENEFITS OF GROUP MEMBERSHIP
- Access to Credit Reports
Belonging to a credit industry group gives members access to NACM’s National Trade Credit Report, specifically for the customers submitted to the group for discussion. NACM’s NTCR provides invaluable real-time credit information. - Networking
Industry groups provide an immeasurable opportunity to meet, discuss and share account knowledge and information about customers with other professionals and credit managers within your industry. - Industry Credit Group Meetings
Meetings offer members an opportunity to interact with other credit professionals, discuss industry-related issues, review account materials and more. Speakers and education materials may also be included and meetings are conducted in compliance with Anti-Trust Guidelines.
