Build trust when you offer deni

The business problem

Regular customers buy on account. You know their face but not always their balance. When they pay partial, the notebook disagrees—and tomorrow’s credit decision is guesswork again.

Why it matters

Deni is a service that builds loyalty when records are clear. Unclear deni becomes conflict, lost stock without payment, and cash-flow holes you only notice at month end. Do not count debt payments as new sales—see Sales vs money in the till.

Common mistakes

• Anonymous credit—“that guy in the blue shirt”
• Updating balance without linking to the actual sale
• Extending more credit before checking what they already owe
• Avoiding collection because the record is embarrassing

Best practices

• Name + phone once; use the same customer every time
• Link each credit sale at checkout—stock leaves, balance updates
• Check “owes money” list before extending new deni
• Record partial payments the day they happen (do not wait for full settlement)
