CORPORATE LESSON

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing her shower, when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stand Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel you have on.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hand her $800 and leaves. Confused and excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps herself back up in towel and goes back upstairs. When she returns to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower, “who was that?” It was Bob the next-door neighbor,” she replies. “Great,” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your stakeholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
