Meet the Absa Small Business Friday featured Small Business of the week – Hybrid Collections.
With more than 20 years of industry knowledge, Hybrid Collections is a debt collection company that is an extension of their client’s credit department.
The industry is cutthroat with several competitors in the market. The only way to differentiate yourself from your competitor is to adopt a customer-centric approach. Clint Diesel believes if you put your client first the rest will follow.
Hybrid Collections is rated number one on all their clients’ collections panels. They adapt their collection strategy around what the client needs and expects. As they work on a no collection no charge policy, there is risk involved in generating profit.
Hybrid collections has been going on nine years and in all this time not a single invoice has not been paid.
Through business, Clint has learnt one thing – “Never short-change yourself. Don’t ever question your abilities. You don’t have to be the biggest in the industry to be one of the biggest players”.
In the future, they hope to double their call centre headcount in the next six to eight months and more than double their current turnover figures. In the long term, they want to be one of the biggest players in the debt collection industry. Company reputation goes a long way, and they have strived towards building a positive brand name.
Hybrid Collections was chosen to receive a Top 20 Award at the South African Small Business Awards.
