• Responsible for the departments 6 team members. Conducting quarterly reviews and developing KPI’s to measure team performance. Constantly monitoring all aspects of the teams work by developing reports and feeding the results back to the team members. This increased productivity and cash collections. • I developed a new collections system with our 3rd party systems provider. This streamlined the collections process and improved cash collections. This involved gathering requirements for the business and writing up process documents to present to our I.T. team and director. • Daily monitoring of the collections system to ensure it is optimised to its full efficiency. Identifying any gaps in the collections process and closing them off with I.T. and other team members. • Development of new reports to measure cash performance, forecasts and identifying bad debt customers. • Outsourcing of all the companies printing to a 3rd party supplier. This saved the company €80K per year in printing costs and allowed the team to focus on collecting cash. • Implementation of a call recording system for the credit control team. This helped to drive customer satisfaction and monitor team performance to drive efficiency within the team. • I introduced cash collections through SMS. This drove our incoming calls and allowed us to target a specific customer base at a certain time or day. • Mentoring of staff, specifically the team leader. Coaching him on leadership skills, presenting skills and daily decision making. • Daily contact with solicitors and legal executives and driving bad debt customers into the legal process. • Winner of two awards at the Irish Credit Team awards 2022.
