  4. INTRODUCTION We believe that successful credit professionals tend to have a certain DNA. These are the personal attributes, personality traits and, of course, skill-sets that help people to discover a career in credit rather than just find it by accident. Matching their DNA with the right job means that many credit professionals build their career so that they reach management and leadership level, then stay within credit as their career of choice. 4

  21. CONCLUSIONSO WHAT EXACTLY MAKES UP THE DNA? • Credit is a very balanced profession in terms of both its gender and its age profile. • It appeals to a broad cross-section of people, which bodes well for its future development. • The role tends to be attractive to commercially astute individuals who enjoy working with others and have good people skills. • Credit managers enjoy being a very important cog in the wheel of business and they are often so dedicated to their work that they can sometimes neglect their own professional development. However, they do realise that they need to invest in themselves if they want to succeed. • Proactive, hardworking, diligent and loyal, credit managers are the driving forces behind cash flow in many organisations. • The buzz that they derive from bringing in the money is a crucial part of their DNA.
