Credit Manager Discusses Vital Business Assets
Company
Essentials For Success Outlined by C. L. Davies of the Ridenour-Baker Company
Character, capacity and capital are the three assets which are vitally essential to any man who makes a success in business, were the views of C. L. Davies, credit manager for the Ridmore-Baur Wholesale company, in speaking this morning before students of the department of economics.
"Modern business requires that the heads of each department at a large organization be export men in their particular field. Business has grown from the simple satisfying of the job to the complex satisfaction of the people fifty or sixty years ago to the highly complex methods which require great captains of industry.
Sales Department Important
"Few people know the functions of a credit organization. Practically all of life today is based on credit. In this field losses from debts are found to equal and sometimes exceed the fire losses of this country every year. The manager of this department must be a keen learner in the skills required for the characterization the character of the person with whom he is dealing, whether he gets his information from a letter or any other indirect means. Character is the real basis of credit."
The large organization must have trained men in traffic work. It is the duty of these men to protect the firm for which they work, the city and the state in which they operate. The sales department has a two-fold duty. That of selling and selling with the idea of removing the goods from the shelves of the retail chain, and to understand the complications of securing just the things most needed in his community according to Mr. Davies.
Trained to
"In all business organizations which have a large field the men in each department must have become experts in their lines, otherwise they will be able to interact with customers most closely met by the company.
The executive positions are filled by men who are to direct the policies, provide adequate finances and keep up the reputation of the company.
"The men in the buying department must be authorities on values, local conditions, and above all be able to secure only the goods which make a quick turnover for the company. The advertising manager has become a place of vital importance, as it is through this agency that you can obtain the public the things it has to sell. He who persuade is the fellow who touers head and shoulders over others," Mr.Davies said in conclusion.
