Most businesses have faced and may continue to face  challenges in collecting past due accounts receivable. Being persistent generally  will increase your productivity in  collection and remaining positive will  certainly help you stay in a better frame of mind!

Statistics support the idea that most customers want to pay their past  due accounts. Thus, being persistent in asking for payment generally will result  in recovery of the account. The following  are a few tips which may help in collecting the accounts:

• Call your customer often to ask for  payment; be the squeaky wheel
• Visit the customer for a face to face meeting to ask for payment
• Ask for details from your customer  regarding their cash flow
• Use others within your company (the Owner or others) to ask for payment
• Use your Attorney to demand payment in a timely manner. Call on us for help!

Normally, the faster you act on collecting  a past due account, the better the  overall result will be.
