“We are an avid supporter of the CMA/Anscers community! We report electronically to CMA. Being connected electronically to others in our industry provides a quick and easy way to notify others if an account goes bad. Sending our data electronically each month is absolutely the quickest and most efficient way to share information with our group members. If others would do the same, we would have a much more clear picture of mutual clients. I would really like to see more in our industry, and more members in general, start reporting on a local and national level. It just makes good sense. We use the CMA reports on a regular basis it is a part of our new account review process and is often a critical component due to the fact that we know we see roofing industry trades that we know are simply not reported to the other big bureaus. Identifying the best and worst clients is not that difficult for us, our biggest challenge is the mid-risk range customers, and having access to industry specific data can really help shed some light on these folks, saving us time and headaches. Participating in the industry group is vital to our process and the more members that join, the better off we all will be.”
