Business: Haven’t You Waited Long Enough to Get Paid?

Haven’t You Waited Long Enough to Get Paid?

Written by Jim Finucan

Business-to-business debt collecting is a different ball game compared to collecting from an individual debtor. Once a business debtor has owed you for quite awhile it’s perfectly OK to take repparttar

gloves off and go all in an effort to get repparttar 106845

Money. After all, things have reached repparttar 106846

point where you wouldn’t do business with that outfit again anyway so you have nothing more to lose! But first, be clear about what your objective is: getting repparttar 106847

balance owed to you paid in full. Don’t be willing to accept anything short of that. .

It’s OK to threaten legal action (if carried out, this would create a public record showing that this firm is stealing from you). Essentially you are going to be calling this person a thief to try and make him see himself as you see him and thus make him change his mind about paying you. You simply cannot be timid about it, nor can you approach repparttar 106848 campaign half-heartedly. The debtor already has you figured as a pushover. He already has a catalog of excuses set-aside just for you, so it’s up to you to convince him otherwise. You have to have a mindset ready to sweep excuses aside and convince him you mean business.

First, be sure you’ve reached repparttar 106849 right person. Don’t mess around with underlings or gatekeepers - they don’t cut repparttar 106850 checks. You want repparttar 106851 owner or repparttar 106852 guy who authorized repparttar 106853 purchase and is now telling someone else to ignore your invoices. Seek him out. Call him as often as you need to, even at home in repparttar 106854 evenings if necessary. Let him know in words or tone of voice that you are angry, and don’t be overly concerned with business etiquette; it doesn’t apply here. In fact, repparttar 106855 federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not cover commercial transactions so you are pretty much free to try anything, although common sense suggests you avoid doing anything that would reflect badly on you or your firm.
