Build a Robust Credit Culture Without Adding to Your Workload
Shockproof's Credit Coaching program gives your team exactly the skills it needs, guided by experts with decades of commercial credit experience.
Your credit team needs training. But assessing each employee's skills, building learning plans, and keeping everyone on track takes time you don't have.
That's where we come in.
Credit Teams Are Stretched Thin
The result? Uneven skill levels, inconsistent credit culture, and missed opportunities.
Skills Need Constant Updating
Every team member's skills need regular refreshing and upskilling to stay effective.
Best Practices Evolve
Best practices in credit risk, structuring, and monitoring evolve constantly.
Profitability vs. Risk Balance

Leadership Bandwidth
Leaders rarely have the bandwidth to assess skills, design programs, and follow up.
