The 'subscribers going out of business' part cracks me up. Guess H Ltd needs to be better at picking their customers. I'd go with option B - a credit check is a must.

Yeah, a credit check would definitely help with those unpaid direct debits.

This is a tough one, but I reckon option C might be the best bet. Gotta keep those salespeople hungry for new customers, you know?

Haha, the 'new customer dropping their subscription' problem reminds me of my gym membership. Anyway, I think option E is the way to go - transparent performance reports will keep the sales team on their toes.

Hmm, I don't know about that. Reducing the commission for sales folks could backfire and make them less motivated. Maybe option D, where the commission is tied to long-term customer retention, would be better.

That's true. Option B could definitely help with reducing the number of customers who end up causing problems down the line.

This seems like a tricky one. I'd go with option B - a credit check is a good way to weed out the unreliable customers upfront.

B) Ensure that a credit check is carried out before a subscriber is accepted.
