Connect & Collect Podcast - Episode 4
Mike and Dan discuss how collection strategies have evolved and how the current environment is vastly different, especially post-pandemic. Consumer communication preferences have changed, and they want more payment flexibility and options. Digital communication and payment tools with self-service capabilities give them the freedom to pay their bills when it's most convenient.
