BuildingBlocks Community by Handle.com

Join us for another exciting Handle.com BuildingBlocks Community webinar featuring Julie Putman, CCE, with Pacific Plumbing Supply Co, LLC on February 16th, 2027 at 1pm CT. Beyond Filing Notices: Real Stories. Real Challenges. Real Lessons from the Credit Manager's Desk. We're going beyond lien laws, deadlines, and paperwork to talk about what really happens when payments slow down, communication breaks down, and tough decisions have to be made! Julie will share real-life experiences from her career in credit management, including navigating difficult payment situations, getting GCs involved, protecting receivables, and handling lien and bond claims. What worked? What didn't? What would she do differently? This is the kind of conversation you won't find in a textbook, and one you won't want to miss!
