Abstract: | Companies sell routinely on credit (here as: cr.) in spite of conventional wisdom suggesting that offering cr. is a necessary evil when dealing with insistent cash-constrained customers. In this paper, a more positive view of trade cr. is provided. It is found that offering cr. can enhance the efficiency of incentive contracts with sales personnel. In effect, with a cr. sale, a client gets a second chance to generate enough cash. |
