Persuasion and Negotiation for Professional Collectors

Gain an understanding of the best persuasion and negotiation policies for collection professionals.

Credit and collections professionals face tough challenges from pesky customers on a daily basis. Many customers have become so accustomed to avoiding their obligations that negotiating with them seems pointless at best and a drain on your valuable time and money at worst. This topic will help credit and collections professionals to better develop their negotiation tactics, implement policies and procedures that will make negotiation easier and more effective, and better understand when to seek help from outside your organization.
