By: American Profit Recovery IRWIN Tools is leading the effort in calling Friday, September 20 National Tradesmen Day to celebrate electricians, plumbers, mechanics, and many more hard workers who make daily life possible. American Profit Recovery is proud to have helped many trades businesses across the country as well and will happily celebrate tradesmen on September 20. http://www.youtube.com/ Many small and local businesses don’t get paid on time, and suffer as a result. This can affect local or independent tradesmen, who go unpaid or underpaid for their services. So to help tradesmen get paid for their hard work, APR is happy to share some of its best tips when it comes to preventing and collecting late payments. Payment Terms Up Front: Make sure customers are aware of payment terms and conditions. Contracts are very helpful, so try to get as much of the agreement as possible in writing before taking on a new customer. Information: Follow Up Is Key: When a customer does not pay on time, follow up is vital to resolving the debt and keeping the customer. A good first start is to follow up by mail, but eventually collection efforts should get more assertive. Waiting 60 days to pursue a late payment is also recommended. Get Help: Find an agency that offers a flat fee collections system that any size business can afford. Search for an agency that fits your style and values, as well as those endorsed by the organizations and associations the company may be a part of. If diplomacy is important, pick an agency that values diplomatic resolutions. It’s fair to both the business and the account, and helps retain customers.
