The Three C’s of a Successful Collections Strategy

Debt collection can be challenging for both consumers and lenders, especially with evolving market conditions and consumer expectations for digital experiences. To reduce costs and maximize recovery rates, lending institutions and collection agencies must adopt effective strategies. Cloom’s approach focuses on the three C’s—communication, control, and choice—to create consumer-centric collections that enhance outcomes and efficiency.

Communication

Effective communication is key to increasing response rates and recovering payments. Cloom’s debt collection predictive analytics provide a holistic view of consumers, offering insights into their behavioral and contact channel preferences. By assessing an individual’s propensity to pay, Cloom helps determine the best time and method—such as email, text, or phone—to reach them, enabling personalized treatment strategies that boost engagement.

Control

Cloom’s solutions empower consumers by offering control over how they engage with collectors. Options like email, text, or chatbots provide alternatives to traditional phone calls, making interactions more comfortable. With 81% of consumers valuing brands with multiple digital touchpoints, Cloom’s collection optimization automates repetitive tasks, reducing errors and freeing agents to focus on high-priority accounts, creating a seamless, customer-centric experience.

Choice

Successful collections depend on consumer acceptance and adoption. Cloom emphasizes giving consumers choices to make informed decisions, enhancing their control over the process. As Paul Desaulniers, a collections expert, notes, “Consumers have shifted to digital. Engaging them in their preferred method and channel is critical for collections performance.” By offering multiple channels, Cloom ensures consumers can interact in ways that suit them, improving recovery outcomes.
