Collections agency American Profit Recovery began a fund raising attempt in order
to assist people trying to bring relief to the Haiti earthquake victims. American Profit Recovery has picked the Saint Rock Haiti Foundation which is a not for profit organization that gives medical care for the people of Haiti.
There are three different ways in which the collection agency will come up with money. One will be the donation of five percent of the proceeds from their biggest trade show. The money will come from all sales at the show in addition to any that they received at the end of February.
Employees were able to contribute by donating money to have the opportunity to dress casually on every Monday in February. Food purchased at their three locations will also go directly to Saint Rock Haiti Foundation.
American Profit Recovery chose Saint Rock Haiti Foundation after one of their employees brought the organization to its attention. And by picking this not for profit, it will have the ability to apply to the Grand Lodge of Masons over in Massachusetts to match their donation, which will of course double fund raising efforts.
American Profit Recovery is a bill collection agency with offices in Massachusetts, North Carolina and Michigan. Established in 2004, APR works primarily with the collection of third party debt in a good amount of professional industries such as trades, banking, medical, dental and lawn care.
APR has a striking focus on good business practices and diplomacy with consumers. They try to keep the relationship between client and debtor intact; their aim is to keep the business relationship going.
According to the most current studies, collection agencies that train their employees in empathy are the most successful; the latest trend. If someone is being contacted by numerous collection agencies, they are most likely to work with the collections professional that has shown compassion. More debt collection companies could take a lesson from APR and start giving back to the community.
