Player of the Month

Carmar Circle

CAMAR WILLIAMS

Camar Williams, Sales and Marketing Manager, Creditinfo Jamaica has successfully pulled off 2 very big events at the end of April, a four day Jamaica business expo and also the launch of Creditinfo Predictor for 80 top members of financial institutions. Every detail was meticulously taken care of personally by Camar. Unfortunately he had one night with no sleep in order to finalise a few last minute requests, which is in addition to working long hours in the run up to these events due time differences and additional requirements. However, he was justly rewarded with both events running without a hitch. We have also heard in addition to his dedication and professionalism, he is also very popular with both clients as well as his colleagues, as when visiting client’s building he was smothered with kisses every 5 minutes!

Congratulations, Camar!

Almar's Monthly – The secrets from the science of Persuasion

d730da3f-2206-4513-852d-a8b9e9433b0cHi folks!

This month I would like you to take 15 minutes out of your daily routine to watch a video.

In this video, called “Secrets From the Science of Persuasion”, Robert Cialdini and Steve Martin, from Influence At Work have put together six universal principles (or shortcuts) and how they relate to collaboration. We all have to work in collaborative groups and with other people where there are often differing opinions. This video will help you in persuading others toward the validity of your advice and opinions. What are the hurdles you have to cross when trying to be collaborative? What successes have you had in bringing together different people in a collaborative effort? The video (and there’s a book too) offers many validated statistics to demonstrate the results of each shortcut.

So the next time you pull together a team of experts to better your business, keep in mind the different persuasive techniques and how to employ them to reach a perfect collaboration.

Regards,

Almar

Creditinfo working with Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe

On April 14th 2016, Creditinfo and vice-governor of Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe signed a contract for the delivery of Creditinfo’s Credit Bureau Solution, CB5.  Communication and negotiation took place over a number of months throughout 3 key tender applications.  The CB5 system will be used by 18 banks, 120 MFIs and also 4 Public Credit Bureaus currently operating  in Zimbabwe. The most challenging part of this contract is delivery  time, with just 12 weeks from implementation to live launch. Radek Bittner (Sales), Tomáš Tichý (Business Consultant) and Michal Dostál (Project  Manager) were the 3 man delegation who visited Harare for the finalisation of the contract agreement and who delivered the 1st project Workshop for  customisation of system parameters.
