We are getting the serious run-around for the last 2 weeks.
What reasons are you being given? Can you provide examples?
In our recent survey, other manufacturers shared similar concerns in Coronavirus Hits Manufacturers, Standing Now, Worse To Come:
Concerns About Slow Pays
Several manufacturers specifically mentioned that problem of slow payment and that if collection costs go up, their companies are likely to face financial problems:
- "Now, more than ever, smart salespeople have to be more in tune with the "we need to get paid" back-end part of the selling process. Just getting the PO and figuring someone else in the organization will deal with the financial details will no longer suffice. From a risk perspective, a caution is what seems like a sale now may turn into a collection issue down the road. We are already working with select customers to temporarily extend terms to allow them to ramp back up when they open."
- "A big long term concern will be payments. It is one thing to ship units, it is another to get the prompt payment needed to keep things moving. The strength of our work long term will likely come down to funding and the length of closures/slowdowns. As a result, we may not see big changes flow through to us until summer, even if things have been opened back up."
- "delayed payments"
- "General signs trending: - delay of projects in all sectors - delay of payments from all parties ( system integrator and distributors ) - no communication physically with the clients that will be difficult to move things fast."
