9 Top Customer Service Best Practices That Drive Growth via Business Collections

9 top customer service best practices that make business collections an easy process

The majority of businesses out there are not making the most of customer service best practices, and it’s costing them dearly.

This is a huge problem because without great customer service you’re going to lose customers – which means fewer sales. If you don’t have enough sales then your business will fail, simple as that!

Not being able to recover funds owed is not an uncommon problem especially among small businesses that have customers that owe them money. The reality is that many companies are afraid to ask their clients for payment because they don’t want to upset them or lose their business altogether.

The first thing you need to do is stop thinking about your customers as people who owe you money, but instead as individuals with whom you have a relationship. Asking someone for money can be uncomfortable, so it helps if we put ourselves in our customer’s shoes and try not to take things personally when they say no or delay paying us what they owe us. You should also focus on doing everything possible to make sure your customers feel comfortable talking about payments with you.

Dee Bowden shares what we can do to build customer confidence; resulting in more revenue collection opportunities, better cash flow management, and most importantly better customer service culture.
