READ MORE
Often maligned and misunderstood, third-party debt collection plays a critical role in the receivables cycle. Without an escalation point a business will inevitably experience a downturn in those key metrics of DSO and BDA.
Yet many businesses still wrestle with making the decision to outsourced debt collection support. This session takes a look at some of the perceived barriers to third-party escalation and shares case studies from two businesses who made the decision to add third-party debt collection into their receivables process.
