Hiring the right collection agency has its advantages

In the not too distant past, a business that hired a collection agency was doing so as a last resort. They had customers that were not paying; they called, sent letters, and decided the only thing they could do was to get rid of that customer and send them to collections—a far cry from how a collection agency can help a business today.

When you use an agency today, you should be thinking a little differently about the results you want to gain from that relationship. When you hire the right company to handle your collections, what comes with that relationship are many benefits. And if you think beyond just the bill that your customer has […]

I am thankful

With Thanksgiving recently upon us, I could not help but stop and think about all the things I am thankful for this year. 2020 has taught many of us to be grateful for the little things like family, socializing, health, and simple things like being able to grocery shop. I am especially grateful that I chose to work at such a phenomenal place as I approach my third-year anniversary at American Profit Recovery.

Working as a collector I hear stories from consumers all around the nation about their struggles during this global pandemic. Many have lost jobs, loved ones, steady income, and things some of us will never be able to comprehend. I put myself in […]

People are passionate and emotional because they care

By Greg:

2020 is clearly going to be remembered as the year of the pandemic. Covid-19 dominated the news, and no one can deny how much it has impacted our lives. For some it brought illness and grief, for others it brought unemployment and struggle, and for the fortunate ones it brought inconvenience. However, I believe that it revealed some basic truths about us as people, and what we truly care about. No, I’m not talking about stocking up on canned goods, bottled water, and toilet paper. I’m also not talking about the strength of our internet bandwidth, or even our political beliefs. What I am talking about are the fundamental things that all people […]

Giving Thanks!

“Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end” – Roy Bennett

No surprise, but 2020 has been a challenge for all of us! I find that in the most challenging and darkest times is when I have grown and reflected the most. Even though we have all faced incredible challenges this year, there is SO much to be thankful for. Thankful for our friends and family. Thankful for living in the greatest country in the world, by far. And then we have more […]

Successful Entrepreneurs

Theoretical Underpinnings

Our PR guy was in town this time last year and among all of the really good questions that were asked during filming, there was one that struck me. What gets you out of bed in the morning?

My first thought was when you have hobbies like hunting and fishing, you’re always awake before the sun comes up. It also means that you wait for the weekdays to ‘sleep in’ (if only until 5 am).

My second thought was about my childhood. When I was a kid we burned firewood in the winter to heat our home. It was a decent size, two-story house with a gambrel (barn-shaped) roof. The physics of wood heat is that […]

What I love about my job is helping others

By Tracey:

I have been through many changes in my life and never for one minute would I have thought I would change careers and become a collection specialist. In January I took a great leap of faith and was offered a job at American Profit Recovery. I feel it was the best thing I ever did. […]

Why cash flow is so important

There are many reasons collection agencies exist. And while many consumers do not like being on the receiving end of a communication from a collection agency, companies like ours provide a necessary service to organizations that have challenges in getting their customers and clients to pay or pay on time.

It does not matter what size your company is. You are always going to have issues around payments, invoices and getting cash in the door in a timely fashion. And there is one thing we say over and over again here at American Profit Recovery. If you are in business, people are going to owe you money. That is just a fact of operating a business […]

Collection agencies can help with some of your biggest concerns

The amount of concerns and issues a business owner, entrepreneur or anyone in senior leadership has on their minds on any given day can be countless to say the least. From bringing in enough business, being able to handle that business, everything to do with hiring and firing, cash flow, legal matters, and so much more. And if you are in one of these positions, then you know this all too well.

Customers and clients paying you on time or paying you at all can be one of your biggest concerns. When cash doesn’t come in the door on time, that can present a huge challenge for your organization. Not the least of which is meeting […]

On the fence about hiring a collection agency?

We are going to make a bold assumption. That you have customers that have not paid you yet. They are either late in paying you, or they have not paid you at all. Whether it was an oversight, a dispute in your product or service, or maybe that customer has just struggled financially and they have decided not to pay your business. There are so many reasons why a customer or client has not paid you yet and it’s a tough situation to be in when you’re trying to improve your cash flow.

Hiring a collection agency to help with your cash flow is an important decision you need to make for your organization. The decision […]
