Doing it Right
Just like any other community, the people and companies within the debt collection industry give both time and money to important causes, and also get recognized as great business leaders and solid citizens. We see this on a regular basis, but recognized that there is no central place where people can come to learn about the good works of those in our industry (indeed, there are many sources happy to tell the negative story).
So here it is, a section called “Doing it Right”. This is where we highlight the many great industry initiatives, from bake sales, to park clean-ups, to scholarships, to “green” projects, to personal finance education, to winning local awards, and more. Together, tens of thousands of debt collectors, attorneys, and their service providers are doing their part and making a difference. If you are Doing it Right, we’d like to know about it. Send us photos, press releases, etc., to editor@insidearm.com.
The Latest Example of Doing it Right
Every Contact an Opportunity: An Introduction
As an industry we are extremely goal orientated and deadline driven. This directive permeates to the front lines of the collection floor. That said, if collectors take a too aggressive approach, it may result in a significant increase in these consumers voicing dissatisfaction with their creditors (our clients) and us.
