Good questions. tx
No we don't report to DnB. We have found that a percentage of invoices get paid from an email reminder, then another percentage from a follow up phone call. So you can get a bunch of invoices paid without having to go through the Debt Collection process.
Good point on differentiating the friendly / firm calls – the difference with firm phone call is the person we use (she's a bit more clinical in her approach) plus it also includes a follow up phone call. I agree adding an example of the phone call would help a great deal in giving you confidence.
Paying for results is something we could explore - maybe no result no pay? Although our value proposition was more about you not having to take the time and pain to make the call yourself.
Would much prefer to pay for results. And I would want to be able to hear a recording of the call so I can audit you guys to make sure you're representing our company in accordance with our values.
