My friend, Alex, tells me that he dreads going to work these days. I am sure we all are feeling, or even reeling from, the effects of the slow economy but for Alex, his company has many clients that are just unable to settle their bills these past few months and it is not surprising seeing how difficult it is for cash to come by. Or perhaps they are just unwilling.
Alex has been given the unenviable task of contacting these debtors and chase for payment. Alex thinks he is not suitable for the extra task because of his soft character and he gets bullied.
I told Alex that he should propose to his management to engage a debt collection agency to do the job. They are the specialists and they would know what to do when encountered with debtors. They don't need to factor in any past business association or relationship. They just do their work professionally.
Yes, this would surely be the solution for Alex and he need not worry about going to work doing something he doesn’t like anymore. After all, collecting debt isn’t even in his job scope and he shouldn’t be made to do it when his colleagues aren’t! Don’t you think so too?
