Losing a customer that owes you money.

[Bisolami]

There is a customer of mine who comes to my shop to buy goods and when she’s done selling, she pays up to buy another one. For about three weeks now, she has not been consistent so my sister and I got wondering what could have gone wrong.

Luckily, there was a phone number written at the front of her shop so we decided to call the number yesterday and we heard that she was late. It was very painful and the amount she’s owing is a lot of money too.

I hope she rests in peace

That was not good news, but just forget about what she owed you and move on.

I am sorry to hear this. In good faith, she cannot pay you back because of this reason.

This is a sad one but you just have to let go. But this is a painful one as you said it is a big sum.of money.

This is why the best thing to do is to avoid giving out credits. Anything can happen at anytime .

You just have to take the loss and move on. It is one of the liabilities that we suffer as business people.

I do not sell to anyone that I do not recognize. If someone buys on credit I always make sure I know him well

That's a regretful act if only, but if the amount is big why not talk to the family members and let them pay.

Anyone who buys on credit, I always make sure that I know them very well or even know their house before I can release my goods for them
