Phone Script for Debtor Collection Calls
Many business people lack confidence when they phone a customer for an outstanding debt. Consequently, they will avoid the task, leading to the customer debt getting older and harder to collect. The point of the phone script is to provide questions and information to keep the conversation going until the right response is reached, which is – when the payment will be sent. It gives the caller control of the conversation and maintains professionalism. If the caller puts the phone down without getting a payment commitment then the result will another phone call and probably more after that. Even collection professionals need a rough script before they pick up the phone.
