Hosted by Handle.com's BuildingBlocks Community
Filing a preliminary notice is just the beginning. But what happens when payments slow down, communication breaks down, and you're faced with some tough decisions about protecting your company's money?
Join us as we welcome Julie Putman, CCE, with Pacific Plumbing Supply Company, for a real-world conversation about the challenges, decisions, and lessons learned while navigating lien and bond claim situations throughout her career in credit management.
This isn't your typical lien law presentation filled with statutes, deadlines, and legal requirements. Instead, Julie will take us behind the scenes of actual credit management experiences, sharing the situations she's encountered, the decisions she's made, what worked, what didn't, and what she learned along the way!
What We'll Talk About
Beyond the Paperwork: The Credit Manager's Role in Project Cash Flow – Real experiences balancing customer relationships, protecting receivables, and keeping payments moving throughout a project.
Who's Really Holding Up the Money? The Customer or the GC? – Stories of uncovering payment problems, asking the right questions, and figuring out where things went wrong.
Making That Call: When the GC Gets Involved – Lessons learned from picking up the phone, navigating difficult conversations, and communicating with general contractors to help resolve payment issues.
When Things Get Serious: Real Experiences with Lien & Bond Claims – Situations that led to tough decisions, how Julie approached them, who she involved, and what she learned from the outcomes.
Why Attend?
Because sometimes the best education doesn't come from a textbook or a legal presentation. It comes from another credit professional who's been there, done that, and is willing to share their experiences!
Whether you've been managing construction credit for years or are still learning to navigate complicated payment situations, you'll walk away with fresh perspectives, practical takeaways, and maybe even a few "I've been there too!" moments.
Real experiences. Honest conversations. Valuable lessons.
This session focuses on personal experiences and credit management best practices rather than legal instruction or advice regarding lien and bond claim requirements.
