The collection skills of your teams must make it possible to prevent and effectively deal with late payments , manage difficult situations, and more rigorously understand the challenges of managing your customer credit policy. For this, BFR EXPERTS consultants offer theoretical training modules associated with practical scenarios adapted to your collection needs.

Debt collection, whether amicable or contentious, requires a wide range of actions to recover unpaid debts. This is why it is important to know and master all the possible options in order to anticipate, not only the choice, but also the order in which the different steps will be initiated and thus maximize the chances of getting paid.

At the end of each training, employees will be able to:

  • Develop a professional and positive approach to customer collection
  • Identify areas for improvement in the existing organization and/or current operating methods
  • Anticipate the risks of late payment and non-payment
  • Clarifying and harmonizing the know-how of reminder-recovery teams through a common core of business knowledge
  • Implement negotiation techniques to master customer follow-up interviews, including sometimes difficult ones
  • Enforcing payment conditions while guaranteeing the good reputation of the company on the one hand, and customer satisfaction on the other.

Our educational approach is based on the transfer of skills and know-how in the management of customer outstandings.

Interactive and pragmatic, our training is based on concrete applications, practical cases and application exercises. They take place in four stages:

  1. The theory: The trainer develops and proposes appropriate techniques in the form of theoretical presentations and associated examples from your company and external benchmark.
  2. Putting it into practice: quizzes and technical practical cases, exercises for handling objections and arguments are carried out by all participants.
  3. Putting it into practice on real cases. Corrective actions and personalized advice are provided by the trainer: validation of knowledge and identification of errors and areas for improvement to be worked on.
  4. Transfer of skills: our training consultants offer appropriate techniques and tips for the continuous improvement of credit management practices.

Our training courses are aimed at all those involved in your debt collection and receivables management process. This may be your lawyers, collection and litigation officers, your customer accountants, customer credit assistants, ADV employees, sales representatives depending on your internal organization.
