Success in getting paid is critical to any business.  When an entrepreneur’s business is not set up to get paid successfully, or when clients neglect to pay – on time, or at all –  operations can slow down, jeopardizing the business itself.  Join the San Juan County Economic Development Council (EDC) to learn more about strategies, payment systems and collections at a workshop entitled Get Paid on Thursday, November 9th on San Juan Island.

The course will cover attracting paying clients, using accounts receivable software and payment processing services, identifying and avoiding deadbeats, and collecting overdue accounts.  Workshop instructors Victoria Compton and Jeanne Peihl bring decades of small business experience to the class.

Date:  Thursday, November 9th from 10-11:30a.   Cost:  $10 to cover materials.  Class size is limited, advance registration is required.  The class will be held at Heritage Bank on San Juan Island.  For more information and to register:  www.sanjuansedc.org/getpaid .
