Letters of Credit Webinar
Full-Day Session — 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Central Time
Certificate Issued Upon Completion.
It's all about getting paid. What's the point of entering into a sales agreement—domestic or international—if the buyer doesn't pay the seller and either party walks away unhappy? This webinar teaches you how to make a sale that guarantees the seller gets paid and the buyer gets the help he or she needs to finance the deal.
Learn to fully comply with Letters of Credit requirements. Get involved in the set-up process, learn the basic terminology and significance of various documents, and learn how to prevent and handle discrepancies. Learn how to ensure that you receive payment for your shipments, how to get paid faster, and how to lower bank fees.
If you take this webinar, you will learn how to:
- Select the most appropriate method of payment for the importer and exporter.
- Compare the cost and risks of the various letter of credit options.
- Open a letter of credit and get paid under its terms.
- Limit discrepancies under a letter of credit and resolve any disputes that may occur.
- Analyze and choose alternative methods of financing international transactions.
