"Everyone wants to know, 'What's in it for me?'" Conklin said. "We might knock off $100 since it's a different consumer today than it was four or five years ago. It goes back to retraining your collectors."
'It could be that they set up a check payment on a certain day but said something like, 'If there's a problem, give me a call back,' leaving it open to the consumer not calling them back," she said. "Just removing that one sentence in the talk-off could help."
