How do you deal with customers who don’t fulfill their promises?

[Bisolami]

There is no way you will have a business and not sell on credit. This is because there are some potential customers who usually buy a lot of goods and it will not make sense not to sell on credit to them.
Unfortunately, there are some people who usually buy and pay when they promise to and there are some customers who don’t keep to their promises.
How do you deal with such people?

Such like kind of customers are very untrustworthy. Businessmen should give credit to the customers they know very well.

Before l enter into deals with the clients l must have a vivid knowledge about them.

If I have a business partner or a customer that does not fulfill to their promises, I will make sure that I dong sell on credit to them anymore because they cannot be trusted

You just have to keep reminding them they are yet to fulfill their promises and how ot is affecting you.

The best thing is to keep reminding them and also making sure that we never sell goods to them on credit again so that we won’t be bothered

I will seek a legal actions against customers who do not pay back. By the way, I am not in favor of selling on credit

That's a good approach. And try to make sure that you don't give credit sales to people who haven't proven themselves trustworthy enough to merit such favour.

I think in such a case I would limit how I deal with them. Not every deal they come for I will agree to.

You’re right. Once I don’t see them on the promised day, I always make sure that I call them to remind them about the money they want to give me

In my book, it is better to ask the customer to pay 50% of the total cost purchased by him or her.
