A lady in Oklahoma would brag about being Hank Williams Jr's cousin's
best friend. I figured that's about as high as one could get on the
social ladder.

Not true! I have found that the more
alcohol one consumes the more prestigious the family tree becomes,
up to (and frequently) including members of the Supreme Court.

I didn't realize you knew Cracker.

If she had been from West Virginia
I'd have believed her. Everyone
there is everyone else's cousin,
spouse, brother and/or sister.

I remember one A/R woman I talked to told me she would would call
clients up at 270 days (if they got to that point ) and tell them " Hi,
it's Gloria from ABC Alarms and I just wanted to remind you that you
should send your mother flowers today"

the deadbeat invariably says "Huh, why?"

"she carried you for nine months just like we have" she said it worked
about 50% of the time (they paid the bill, the floweres she didn't know
about)

I remember we had a customer who called up and told us he was moving and
wanted us to take the system out so we could reinstall it at his new
place. When I looked at his account we had installed it nearly a year
ago and he still hadn't apid a cent on it. I turned up and dutifully
pulled all the parts down and boxed them up and then put the box in my
trunk. I pack up my tools and said bye and he asks where "his" stuff is.

"we'll be holding it for you until you need it" (He figured out right
away what was going on)

So did he pay?

Yea...but unfortunately I only keep copies of the certificates I issue, and
not where I send them...dumb...gotta fix that.
When a client asks me to send them a "certificate" for them to give to
their insurance agent, I tell them that I have to send it directly to
the agent myself. A few times through the years, the mention of
notifiying their insurance compmany of cancellation, has "motivated"
some slow/non payers, to fulfill their obligations. Not always ....
but a few.

Absolutely. I will not issue a cert. unless I have the insurance co name,
address, phone, fax, agent info., and policy number. Some customers just
want me to send them a letter that they can give to the agent. No way, Jose.

To get rid of a rotten customer I believe you need to overlook the
personal animus you may have kindled with the customer and simply take the
high road. That's what I do. My technique is simple. In every area I
believe there is always at least one alarm company that may have
distinguished itself as reaching the absolute bottom in the reputation it
has with other dealers and parts vendors. Those guys will take any
customer they are offered since they can't get any on the own anymore
based on their reputation. I arrange a marriage between the two (that is
the dead beat or problem customer and Last Choice Alarm Company) and
accept a dowry. I always feel much better about it afterwards, especially
when you get calls from the customer begging you to take him back (like an
ex wife maybe - not a chance in hell). I remind the old customer that we
would love to have him back but he is under contract with a new company
and to call us (in 5 years or so) when he is free to make that choice.
It's a wonderful feeling! It is kind giving anthrax to leprosy.

You are evil, Roland.



I like that.

I used this one (slightly modified to inform them the system was also
disabled) today...we'll see if I get any action. I also added that it may
effect her homeowners insurance premiums since we had sent a certificate for
discount to her company, she'll probably lose that too.

Oh yeah and a 75.00 reconnect fee to reconnect plus the 4 months that she's
in arrears.

| Dear customer,
|
|
|
| We have not heard from you and due to non-payment, your monitoring for the
| above address has been discontinued as of January 31, 2007.
|
|
|
| Even though you may not have been arming and disarming the system the
Smoke
| Detectors were operational 24/7. Since the monitoring service has been
| discontinued, therefore the dispatch of the Fire Department has also been
| discontinued.
|
|
|
| We continued to monitor your residence as a good faith gesture even though
| we did not hear from you for the last 2 months. We have enclosed an
invoice
| for those two months (Dec. 2006 & Jan. 2007) and also a self addressed
| envelope for remittance.
|
|
|
| Should you have any questions, please call us at xxx-xxxx.
|
|
|
| Respectfully,
|
|
|
| ============================================================
