You never called me then! I always stick to the nice bit, my supervisor however thinks everyone who calls is a total b*tch, just for calling. I still don't understand why he took tthe job if he so obviously doesn't like most of it...

i used to work in credit control/debt collection and was polite but tough when needed. i got my bonus every month for collections...not may other did, and they were nice all the time lol

Not everyone can do credit control and you need to be polite (not overly) but to the point, firm when needed, able to negotiate but not to cave in, fairly argumentative and confrontational when the need arises (and it often does), resilient, investigative (to dig within the company if the normal lines of communication seem closed) and know some law.

And if your creditors are small and local, not to be afraid to turn up unannounced on their doorsteps and telling them you're not leaving until they've given you something - one of my favourite parts from when I used to do it!

i think that is where my background in sales help a lot cause i know how to comunicate internally to get things resolved when orders/invoices go wrong


I have been speaking to customers on the phone and on email most of them are even ashamed of owing us money!!!

we have the odd customer which can be a pain but all in all everything seems to be working fine

Yes the ones that dont take the p***. We have one who keeps saying my Accounts System is all wrong (It's Sage by the way) and the outstanding invoices are not overdue! Then you get the ones who say they thought it was paid. Most of our customers now pay by BACS so they cant use the 'cheque's in the post' excuse now. Generally we are quite successful at getting the money in and it is usually the same ones time and time again that drag their heels in paying.

So when they said "Pay up or we'll send the boys rahnd", you were one of the boys. I can just picture the scene, "Nice little business you have here, be a shame if anything was to happen to it, know what I mean, squire?"

I once had occasion to take down a non-paying client's web site and replace it with a page along the lines of "This site is suspended until the web-designer gets paid what he's owed. Anyone considering extending credit to this business may wish to take note." Not particularly effective but satisfying nonetheless.

my husband is a gardener and i do his accounts so when a customer calls and he hasnt paid for the last two months i always say sorry he cannot buy fuel to his van to go to your garden because you have not paid him,



it always works and we get payment the very next day...specially in spring/summer
