Cash is the oxygen to your business. Any negative impact on your cash flow can critically affect your business’s ability to continue daily operations.
Delinquent customers and bad debts may often hold up your cash flow and erode your revenues. This impacts your profitability as well.
By definition, customers who do not settle their payments 30 days past the due dates are referred to as delinquent accounts/customers. So, how to handle the delinquent accounts?
To deal with delinquent accounts, the collections analysts have to design customized collection plans to recover the unpaid money.
Collections analysts communicate periodically with customers about their open invoices via emails, letters, and telephonic conversations. This process is called dunning. They also use a variety of customer data to identify at-risk, high-value customers. Building a prioritized collections worklist helps analysts save time and effort and have the right conversations with the clients. Dunning and prioritizing collections worklists are some techniques that help collections analysts stay on top of delinquent accounts
