Instead of leaving you to do the heavy lifting, portfolio management strategies automatically analyze your accounts and provide recommendations about actions to take, where to set cutoffs, and policies to institute.
High-risk accounts are those most likely to default or result in protracted collections efforts or even legal battles. By tracking bankruptcy, deceased records and other data, you can identify the likely accounts early on.
Collecting from businesses is different than collecting from individuals, and your systems should reflect that. A commercial collections system can help you stay on top of business debt.
Prioritizing collections involves quickly and effectively evaluating portfolios to determine which have high profit potential and which are less likely to result in recovery, so you need a system in place.
Prioritization must be flexible, and take into account the most accurate information. Score accounts accurately by incorporating current credit data with preexisting account information.
Inform customers of their delinquent status in a timely fashion to increase the chances of collecting and maintaining a productive relationship. Prompt, official notifications increase collection rates significantly, so don’t overlook this step.
Instead of mining your accounts yourself, establish account-tracking procedures so you receive notifications whenever new account information is available.
By taking into account the debt-to-income ratios of your customers, you can increase the chances of targeting accounts most likely to pay off debt and increase your recovery percentage.
Unfortunately, it costs money to engage in debt recovery activities, and your resources are finite. Stretch them further by increasing the number of dollars you collect while decreasing the amount you spend collecting them, all through reliable, repeatable systems targeted toward early- to late-stage collection processes.
