????3.反思經(jīng)營模式。許多錯誤的經(jīng)營習(xí)慣會導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)金周轉(zhuǎn)周期拉長。例如，許多公司每個月才遞送一次發(fā)票。如果把頻率提高到半個月，現(xiàn)金周轉(zhuǎn)速度自然會快得多。

????不接受信用卡也會拉長資金周轉(zhuǎn)周期。我知道的一家生產(chǎn)印刷電路板的公司就發(fā)現(xiàn)，讓大企業(yè)職員用自己的商務(wù)卡——通常有5000美元額度——購買該公司產(chǎn)品，要比準(zhǔn)備采購訂單更便捷。接受商務(wù)卡顯著加快了這家公司的現(xiàn)金周轉(zhuǎn)速度。

????就我自己而言，我會要求許多客戶提前付款，作為回報，我會給予他們一些特別照顧和折扣。如此一來，我就在銀行里有了一大筆錢以應(yīng)對不時之需。

????另外，請設(shè)法使客戶更快的拿到你的產(chǎn)品或享受到你的服務(wù)。因為客戶早一點獲得產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)，你就能早一點把發(fā)票寄給他們，也能早一點收到貨款。

????每家企業(yè)都有獨特的機會來加快資金周轉(zhuǎn)。找到最好的加速資金周轉(zhuǎn)的方式有助于你釋放自己企業(yè)的增長潛力。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????3. Rethink your business model. There may be ways you are doing business that are slowing the cash conversion cycle. For instance, many companies send out invoices every 30 days. Speeding that up to every 15 days will get cash into your company more quickly.

????Not accepting credit cards can also slow the cash conversion cycle. One company I know, which makes printed circuit boards, found that it was easier and faster for clients at big corporations to buy its wares on their corporate cards -- which often had a $5,000 limit -- than to get a purchase order prepared. That sped up the cash conversion cycle dramatically.

????At my own business, I ask a number of customers to pay in advance, which gives them special access to our offerings, as well as discounts. In return, this ensures that I always have a year's worth of payroll in the bank, in case of emergency.

????Look for ways to speed delivery of your product or service, too. The sooner you get what you sell to customers, the quicker you can send out invoices and get paid.

????Each business has unique opportunities to speed up cash flow. Uncovering the best ones will help you unlock the growth potential of your business.
