Finance (general) | | Italian term or phrase: incassare a 7 giorni e non a 120 | this is from a joke anecdote sent as a test translation, i wondered if there might be some insight i am missing!
Vorrei dei collaboratori che vendessero tanto e bene, che incassassero a 7 giorni e non a 120, e che mi portassero a casa un utile del 70%. |
| | | English translation:collect payment in 7 days and not 120 | Explanation:
The collaboratori are presumably agents who work for the person talking. 7 day payment and a 70% profit margin are ridiculous in Italy and everywhere else. So what he's looking for is agents who collect from their clients within 7 days of receipt of goods (or sevices) and not the usual 120. That's the joke.
