Transcript

The customer picks up shouting before you’ve said hello. How should a collector handle an angry or overwhelmed customer?

The anger is often at the situation, not at the collector. It isn’t always a refusal to pay.

Stay calm. Let them say what’s happened, and ask what’s behind it. Only then talk about a plan they can keep.

An angry customer is still a right party contact. Handled well, the call can still end in a plan.
