Sharpen Your Negotiating Skills

Are you a good negotiator? 

Are you able to get what you want by guiding a discussion in your favor?

Are you able to take quick action when a client’s payment habits change?

Keep in mind that practice makes perfect! Your ability to communicate, negotiate, and react to a late-paying or nonpaying customer is a skill that you must hone if you want to stay effective! In the collections business, you need to think on your feet and grab all opportunities to get paid, because you can’t count on second chances.

For better negotiating results:

1. Know who you’re up against!
2. Be flexible, but firm.
3. Try not to make the first offer.
4. Ask for more than you expect to get.
5. Make your sticking points known.
6. Think on your feet to accomplish important goals.
7. Provide minimal explanation.
8. Put all agreements in writing!

How to Seize a Debtor’s Assets

Do you know your rights when it comes to seizing assets?

Do you know how levies and seizure work?

Are you aware assets your debtor owns that may be subject to seizure?

If you do know about your debtors’ assets, you may ask the court to issue a writ to attach property, also known as writ of execution or a writ to seize property. 

According to the Credit & Collections Kit for Dummies, by Steven A. Harms, “Most states require that you use writs to attach property against personal property first and against real property second. That means your officer must levy against items such as cars and boats before taking real estate.”

Once you have the writ of seizure, it is given to a court officer or deputy sheriff. It’s their job to contact your debtor to see if your judgment will be paid without having to seize their assets. If assets are collected, they’re usually transported to a secure storage facility for 10 days to perform inventory and organize them for sale. During this time, your debtor can redeem the assets by paying the judgment in full, plus expenses, interest, and sheriff’s fees. However, if the assets aren’t redeemed, they can be sold at a public auction.
