Proven methods and techniques that will help any company collect their money quicker with fewer bad debts."

Andrew Williams, Credit Manager,
General Motors of Canada Ltd.
In two words, well done! From the opening chapter through to the end, Paid in Full manages to take much of the professional rhetoric out of the business of credit and collections and put some back-to-basic focus into the subject.

...D.J. McArthur, Manager, Credit & Collection Department, The New Toronto Hydro-Electric Commission
An excellent resource for the professional just starting out, as well as the seasoned executive who needs to update his or her skills. This book is not only informative, it holds the reader's attention through its many real-life examples and anecdotes.

"Writing Effective Collection Letters - PLUS!"

by Tim Paulsen,
International specialist in 'creative' accounts receivable management.

Just like the name says, collection
letters and more...a lot more!

This package is unique! Not just
samples and not just the how
and why of effective writing but more...

 

Collection Letters PLUS

Sure, the telephone is one of the most important tools to use in collections, but letters still have their place. They can be an inexpensive way of squeaking ('cause we know which wheel will get the grease), helpful for early stages and lower balances. On other occasions, they will effectively support other collection efforts and they are also important when the situation may be serious - about to turn an account over to a third party or 'other' collection activity.

When it is your time to send a collection letter, don't you agree it should be your very best?

Your biggest challenge is to get your letters read. In the e-book that comes with this package, I'll share with you five guidelines that provide assurance your letters will be read ahead of your competition. 

PLUS

There is a lot more covered in the book, including identification of your audience, organizing your information, the words to avoid, best font type to use, special situations, using humor (funny money) and much more.

PLUS

It doesn't stop there...we told you this package is unique!

Sample letters - for all the situations in collections and we give them to you in three distinct formats!

All the letters in Acrobat reader (.pdf) so you will see them just as
the writer intended. (Some of us have different software that otherwise might have a page advance where it shouldn't be, etc.

The same great sample of letters in a basic document (.doc extension) and simple text format (.txt extension). This will allow you to add, cut & paste to your heart's content - using these letters to develop a full package of your own 'very effective' collection letters.

PLUS

Maybe you don't want to read the e-book. How about my presentation - just for you? Your package includes my audio/video presentation and is just under 50 minutes in length. View it yourself or use it for training your associates individually or in the classroom. (Folks have told me that this is a $300 + value on its own!)

PLUS

You may want to develop your own classroom presentation for training your associates. Included is a Power-Point presentation of the subject that once again, you're free to Cut & Paste for use within your firm.  

PLUS

A special chapter from some of the experts in the business. These authors and consultants will share some of the letters they have found to be effective. Our experts include:

  • Steve Coyle

  • Michelle Dunn

  • Hal Schaeffer

  • Len Sklar

  • Helen Wilke

PLUS

A link available only to buyers of this product, where we keep you up to date on other books and articles related to writing effective collection letters.

PLUS....um, no...that's about it. But, not bad eh? Please allow us to sum it up for you: There is the e-book, covering details of how to write effectively, add in the audio/video for viewing/training on your own or with a group, then there are the letter samples - a viewing package and one for 'cut & paste', add in the special chapter by experts and finally...the special links to keep you and your team updated.

Our guarantee: Standard for us - the client is satisfied or they do not pay!

Subject: Our own little Koyoto Project

Hi Peter,

We've all heard it so much that sometimes we forget what it was all about? Do you remember?

It was back in 1997 in Koyoto, Japan that many countries agreed we needed to take some concrete steps to start clearing the air and protect our environment.

Has it been successful. Some say no, while others will agree it is at least a start in the right direction.

Sometimes, it seems the air between us and good clients like yourself is not all that clear. Perhaps the terms of payment were not understood? Maybe we missed getting out our standard welcome letter, the one that gave contact names and numbers if there were any problems?

Steps? We're taking ours to ensure we clear the air with our customers, providing all of us with an environment where it is easier and simpler to work.

On the next page, you will find a copy of the terms that were agreed to when your account was established in October of 2003. The names, telephone numbers and e-mails of the folks who are willing, ready and able to help with any problems are also listed.

Questions? Please let me know and I'll be happy to 'clear' up any questions.
