In the debt collection industry, a Promise to Pay (PTP)<\/strong> is a major win on a call. But a promise only has value if it\u2019s followed up properly. When a debtor agrees to make a payment on the 15th and there\u2019s no reminder or action on the 16th after the payment doesn\u2019t come in, the chances of recovering that debt drop quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real \u201cleaky bucket\u201d in most collection agencies is not the agents\u2019 ability to communicate with customers, but the manual data entry that takes place after the call. Agents using Vicidial <\/a><\/strong>or Asterisk <\/a><\/strong>often manage dozens of calls each hour. In this fast-paced environment, a PTP date may be written on a sticky note, entered into the wrong field, or completely forgotten as agents rush to the next call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
