The Nexa Advantage: $15 Fixed Fee vs. Performance Contingency
We provide Ketchikan businesses with two distinct, high-ROI paths to recovery to fit the specific needs of the local economy:
-
Fixed Fee Reconciliation ($15): The gold standard for early-stage recovery. You pay a flat $15 per account, and the customer pays you directly. You keep 100% of the money recovered.
-
Contingency Recovery (20%–40%): Our “No Recovery, No Fee” performance model. We take the full risk—from deep-data skip-tracing to professional mediation. If we don’t bring your capital home, you don’t pay a cent.
Our “Account Reconciliation Concierge” Philosophy
We have retired the “debt collector” title. Our partners act as Account Reconciliation Concierges. In Ketchikan, a negative interaction on Front Street can ripple across the entire borough. We focus on helping customers navigate billing confusion rather than just demanding cash.
The Integrity Guard: To protect your business from “rogue collector” behavior that leads to review-bombing, we record all calls and perform random quality reviews. We ensure that every interaction reflects the professionalism of your own office.
