It is moments like this that remind me why debt collection is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. One of our staff, Melanie Allen, just collected her largest payment- the small matter of $58,000! An amazing achievement in its own right and I am so incredibly proud of her, but what makes it truly great is that the client who was owed this money would very likely gone bankrupt had we not have recovered this debt. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that Mel just saved their business. And maybe not just their business, but perhaps even the businesses of their suppliers and their supplier’s suppliers. What we do here has such far reaching benefits, for so many different people. When I get asked what has kept me going in debt collection for more than 20 years, I tell them because of the sense of satisfaction examples like this constantly bring. Well done Mel, and I hope you also take a moment to reflect on what you have achieved for people who truly needed this.
This, right here, is why I love my job!
