Welcome back to debt collection 101, your beginner's guide to debt collection. In articles one and two, I wrote about the different types of debt collectors, how collection agents will find a debtor, and what they will do when they contact the debtor. In article three I described the strict rules and regulations that debt collectors, particularly third party debt collectors must abide by when they make each phone call. In article four I wrote about what the job of a debt collector is like, now I will describe the expectations that debt collectors are generally required to meet on the job. Most collection agents are expected to meet particular goals when they are at work, which are generally number oriented. At times these goals may include an average amount of calls per hour, other times these include success rate goals. Due to the fact that most debt collectors work for commission, they most definitely have their own goals that they expect of themselves to ensure that their needs be met. The majority of debt collectors are typically required to have at least a high school diploma but collection agents, especially in today's job market, with a college education and customer service experience are preferred. Upon being hired, collection agents will receive on the job training. With some collection agencies, formal classroom training might be necessary, such as training in specific computer software. In addition to being trained in the technology that they agency uses, the new trainees will probably be taught telephone techniques and negotiation skills. It is also expected that most debt collectors learn the laws of the state that they are calling in regarding collections, and the details of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Debt collectors are also obviously expected to have excellent communication and people skills on account of the fact that for their job, they must speak to people every day, and many of these people are in stressful financial situations. An excellent collection agent should be able to tolerate rejection in a mature way, and any sort of experience with computers or telecommunications equipment can be useful.
