The accounts receivable department is a very busy place –
processing credit applications, limit increase requests, sales inquiries,
processing and posting payments, and of course making collection calls. If your
list of customers on your Aged Trial Balance is quite large, you may never get
to the end of your customer call list before its time for another month end.
If This Sounds Like You – You’re Not Alone.
Many credit professionals have the same challenges. If the
customer were to call, you could find the time to talk; however the reality is
that the smaller balances do not get the same treatment as the larger ones. One
solution could be to hire another credit analyst to make those calls if you
have the time to train and budget for it.
Another common option, if your system allows for it, is to send your
customer a system generated demand letter.
No Extra H/R Budget? Here’s a Cost Effective Option
If your system is capable of exporting customer data such as
telephone numbers, customer account number, and customer name, we can create an
automated telephone call campaign using a custom pre-recorded message.
Thousands of calls can be completed each day. The message asks your customer to
call your office or they have the option of speaking to a live operator at your
company. You maintain complete control of the customer experience with all
funds directed to your office.
Bottom Line
Custom calling campaigns have produced some amazing results.
Clients report a payment in full rate of up to 50% for much less than the cost
of another employee. Sales Managers report increased sales as a result of old
accounts being resolved. And customer satisfaction results actually improve as
customer issues are getting solved.
