Billing And Payments Billing Consultants.
Getting paid is the second half of the business that must come first!
Since 1989 we have provided in-house billing and collections strategies for small businesses as well as fortune 500 companies. There is a serious need for real solutions to customers who constantly pay late and make you wait for your money.
There are a variety of reasons why some clients string you along for payment and these people need to be trained to pay. How many clients owe you money right now? And what about those you have to chase every month? Chasing people for money can be exhausting and it’s a hassle that needs to be corrected immediately. You can create a habit of payment in all of your customers and get paid faster.
The way you present your operation from the first meeting and throughout the business relationship-which includes billing and collecting payments-greatly determines your rate of success. We implement proven billing and collection methods based on studies that overcome payment problems and help businesses experience greater cash flow.
While there is no “one size fits all” approach to this process, there are many fundamental laws that remain unchanged. For example, the longer an account remains unpaid the less chance you have of getting paid. Percentage of collectability decreases 30 days past due and becomes even more un-collectable at 60 and 90 days and so on. There are also laws that cause customers to pay. The techniques you use to pursue your money and communicate that payment is “due now” are vital. This is the 21st century and you need 21st century methods to get paid. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about losing clients when your approach is respectable but persistent. Good customers will respect great billing and difficult customers cannot escape the urge to pay.
Too many business owners wait far too long to do get professional help and miss out on a great opportunity to really solve their challenges. Many business owners cannot seem to get out of their own way and become stifled and complacent. Don’t keep guessing why people don’t pay, look internally and find the reason. This dilemma is so common that thousands and tens of millions of dollars are lost each year.
As mentioned in “Top 10 Billing Secrets”, over 25 billion dollars gets referred to collection agencies every year and more gets written off as bad debt. How much of that money was yours? Why do so many business owners refuse to endeavor on upgrading? It’s business as usual.
If you’re one of the few who is going to make the decision to get help and improve, you’re on the right track. You want greater success. You want changes with real results and tangible progress and that’s exactly what CJM Billing Solutions does.
