Seize the Moment: A Tax Season Strategy for Enhanced Debt Recovery
With the 2024 tax season on the horizon, it’s a pivotal time for businesses to reconsider their approach to outstanding debts. Professional Credit stands at the forefront, guiding our clients through a proven method that turns tax season into a period of significant financial recovery.
Why Now is the Time for a Settlement Strategy
During tax season, many Americans find themselves with additional funds, partly thanks to state rebates like those from Oregon, which has announced one of the largest tax season kickers. Historical data and behavioral analysis reveal that when consumers receive a financial windfall, they are more inclined to address their debts. This trend is evident, as about one-third of taxpayers use their returns to reduce existing debt burdens.
Our internal figures show a consistent uptick in recoveries during this period. The reason is straightforward: taxpayers are looking for efficient ways to utilize their refunds, and settling debts offers a tangible way to improve their financial health.
When a discount is offered, it prioritizes that account in the consumer’s mind so that when they consider what debt to pay, the account with a settlement offer is at the top of the list.
The Professional Credit Advantage: A Data-Driven Approach
Professional Credit’s Tax Time Analysis has brought to light some compelling statistics. Clients who have embraced a 20% discount strategy have seen a threefold increase in revenue, amounting to $9.07 per letter within 180 days, as opposed to a mere $3.14 for letters without a discount. This significant boost in recovery is achieved by meeting consumers where they are, with a deal that benefits both parties.
Examining the chart below, we can clearly see the long-term financial benefits of implementing a settlement program. Within a span of 180 days, the data illustrates that offering settlements can dramatically amplify revenue, boasting nearly a threefold increase. To put this into perspective, if the typical monthly recovery of a client’s debt collection account is $100,000 , with the implementation of a strategic settlement approach, we have the potential to elevate that recovery to an impressive $300,000
