Impact of Bad Debt Write-Off on Sales

The importance of cash flow is undeniable; the write-off of bad debts affects more than your firm’s cash flow; it also impacts sales and marketing efforts. The table below shows the “multiplier” impact on sales from bad debt write-offs.

For example, you have an account that you write-off for $100,000, and that sale had a 2% profit. To compensate for the loss, you would need to produce an additional $5,000,000 in sales to offset the loss of profit on the $100,000 in write-offs.
