PRECOLLECTION
Our Professional Credit Management (PCM) program provides a cost-effective means to improve cash flow and prompts slow paying accounts, while maintaining good customer relations. Our program provides your customer with a "grace period" in which to pay his account or make satisfactory arrangements. If no response is made to the pre-collect demands, the account is referred to regular collection immediately.
Our PCM program brings the following benefits:
- Broad-Based Participation... cooperative program used successfully by other local business and professional credit managers concerned with their decreasing cash flow and shrinking profits.
- Cost-Effective...accounts processed at NO COMMISSION COST. Listing slow pay accounts on the verge of charge-off reduces office expense and improves cash flow.
- Progressive Approach to Consumer Education...enclosed with our first notice is a consumer education insert regarding the importance of paying accounts.
- Maintains Positive Customer Relations...when the account is paid voluntarily, the customer will usually begin trading with you again.
- Third Party Influence...to encourage immediate communication, influences payment and minimizes the number of accounts charged-off and sent for regular collections.
- Proven Record...Over 100 years of continuous, reliable service in the credit and collection field.
- Accelerates collection of your receivables... and saves valuable clerical time.
- Provides 24/7 access to online management of the account or you may choose to work closely with our staff during working hours.
