8 Highly
Effective Steps to Collect a
Debt
Author, Jan Conte
|
|
In this article, I've listed eight
highly effective techniques that
successful businesses use to collect
past due receivables before placing
them with a collection agency.
1. Be prepared to discuss
past due balance with
debtor/customer
Be prepared when you make the call or
speak to the debtor/customer in
person. Have the debtors file or
screen in front of you. If you sound
or appear unprepared you will give
the debtor/customer the impression
that the balance due is unimportant
to your office and the debtor will
not take you seriously.

10 Free Advertising
Opportunities for your
Business
|
Most of the
time, it is a wise investment to pay
for great advertising. And although
there are plenty of free advertising
opportunities out there, it will only
be as effective as your plan behind the
advertising campaign.
But let's say you understand your
target audience, you have a
compelling product, offer or service,
and you just need a little help on
the budget side of things.
In the online world, even the pros
can't predict the outcome of a strong
advertising campaign. Sometimes a
change in wording or link color can
increase clicks or purchases by 2-3%.

This Month's Book
Review

"Be a
Sales Superstar" written by Brian
Tracy
Recently I read "Be a Sales
Superstar", written by Brian Tracy. It
occurred to me about half way into this
book that the Tracy's 21 Great Ways to
Sell More, Faster, Easier in Tough
Markets could apply to any and all
professions, not just that of a
"Salesperson".
Aren't we all sales people in
one way or another? I run a collection
agency. In order for me to get debtors
to pay I have to sell them on the idea
of paying my client versus another
creditor. I have to make them feel that
paying my client first is the right
thing to do.
Tracy's 21 Great Ways include
committing to your job, believing and
feeling you are the best at what you
do, building long term relationships,
looking the part, behaving
professionally always and handling
responsibility and objections well.
These are skills we all need to do our
jobs well and to make more money doing
them.
This book is a fast read and I
guarantee a worthy one as well.
