Valuable clients are valuable but not if they are deteriorating the firm. They are only valuable till they maintain their good credit. LATE can be an option with valuable but NEVER is never an option. The valuable customer could be your high profile customer with the turnover of 10 million dollars, your friend or relative with whom a relationship is valuable, someone who has been your customer for 10-12 years or someone who always orders big from you.
You do not want to hamper the relationship with them but still, you need to recover your debts so, while you decide the category of valuable, here are the tips to collect debts from you valuable clients:
-
Mediation: Most of the time people opt for polite attitude and requests in the kindest way possible. No one wants to lose customer or clients and politeness works most of the time. The first step of a collection to meet the deadlines is to call because it’s human nature not to offend people you like.
-
Firm instance: Once the
mediation works, all isokay but if it does not work then you have to firmer. The firmer approach will surely work to encourage the payment. Informing your customer that their continued failure to pay will result in legal action or the debt’s referral to a B2B collection agency can sometimes be a sufficient trigger for payment to follow. -
Legal: This is third and the harshest course of action. Generally, with the good clients, you need not reach this
stage but if it does, it can damage customer relations. Looming legal action can lead to the customer paying, but if theydon't you 'll need to be prepared to take them to court and accept the costs that route can incur. -
Outsource: Even if you do not have the issue with your clients regarding the payment, it is better if you hire a B2B debt collection agency and use its services. It can become a catalyst to encourage the payment. The collection agencies will work with you and plan out their moves with you to collect your debts.
