Expert insights by Dániel Severa, written by Dorottya Kiszel-Csikai

As you probably already know, debt collection campaigns can go south at many stages of the process. Reaching the right contact alone can be challenging, let alone ensuring that a promise is made and kept regarding their payments.

What can you do if your overall Collection Effectiveness isn’t where you want it to be?
