Involvement of a collection agency significantly improves recovery rate. The earlier you assign, the better recovery results are delivered, using our most amicable strategies. Let your employees do core work for which they were hired, rather than making them do collections which they obviously do not enjoy.
Money saver tip: Many clients are able to treat our fixed-fee service as a Business Expense (after consulting their CPA), which can make it feel effectively “free.”
Why Cooperative Mediation Wins More Money Than Arguments
Around here, people move fast—Highway 10, US-169, and the constant zip between Riverdale Village shopping corridors and north-metro job sites. Debtors aren’t sitting still waiting to be scolded. If you come in hot, they ghost you, dispute, or decide you’re “the problem vendor.” That’s when your invoice becomes the one they avoid paying.
You recover more by working with the debtor rather than arguing against them because cooperation creates a will to pay. Debtors pay the creditor who feels:
-
Easiest to resolve first (clear options, simple dates)
-
Safest to engage (no shame, no threats)
-
Most consistent (steady follow-up, not mood swings)
That’s the Velvet Hammer: diplomatic style that’s firm enough to secure payment but respectful & soft enough to protect your 5-star online reputation. We also do a litigation scrub—to help protect you from pushing riskier accounts the wrong way and turning a normal balance into a bigger mess.
Red Flag Box: 3 Coon Rapids “Runaround” Patterns That Kill Recovery
-
The “Riverdale bounce.” AP says “talk to the manager,” manager says “talk to AP,” and you keep circling the same parking lot.
-
The “Highway 10 reset.” Every time you follow up, they pretend it’s the first time they’ve heard about it: “Resend the invoice.”
-
The “I’ll pay you after I get paid” move. They try to make you their interest-free lender.
Two $5K–$15K Mini Scenarios (Quick, Concrete)
$5,620 (restoration job add-on balance)
A property owner approved extra work verbally, then hesitated at the final invoice. We requested the documentation, summarized the timeline in plain language, and offered two exits: pay in full by a date or split into two scheduled payments. They chose the schedule—because it felt manageable and final.
$14,880 (B2B recurring services invoice)
A commercial account kept blaming “system changes” and “new processes.” We used skip tracing to reach the decision-maker, confirmed who controls approvals, and anchored a short payment plan in writing. Once the plan existed, the stalling stopped being useful.
Two Recent Recovery Results (Reputation-Safe, Step-by-Step)
Recent medical recovery — $9,240 (specialty care balance)
-
Verify before contacting: We used USPS address checks to confirm the correct responsible party and avoid misdirected outreach.
-
Create a calm path to “done”: The patient wasn’t disputing care—just overwhelmed and avoiding calls. We offered a short plan with clear dates and gentle reminders (including text/email when appropriate).
-
Close cleanly: Payments completed without escalation, and the clinic kept its patient relationships intact.
Recent business recovery — $13,560 (delivered services, “AP backlog” excuse)
-
Reset the story: We consolidated approval, delivery, invoice, and prior reminders into one neutral summary so no one could pretend the account was “new.”
-
Two-lane decision: Pay in full by a date or sign a split-pay schedule. No vague “next week.”
-
Funds recovered, relationship preserved: They chose split-pay to protect cash flow. You got paid without turning it into a feud.
Note From the Account Reconciliation Concierges
We run collections like the Mississippi River Regional Trail runs through the dam park—steady, well-marked, and built for forward motion. Coon Rapids businesses sit close to major healthcare (including the local hospital hub), community education (like nearby Anoka-Ramsey Community College), and the wider Twin Cities supply chain. That means your debtors may be busy, embarrassed, or simply disorganized. We don’t shame them. We guide them—firmly—toward resolution.

Minnesota prohibited-practices rules restrict certain deceptive or coercive tactics by collectors.
