What does a commercial collector do?

A commercial collector works on behalf of a business to collect outstanding debt. As a commercial collector, you have a variety of administrative and research duties, including monitoring and analyzing accounts, finding people who owe payments, and negotiating repayment plans. You also review consumer credit histories and determine whether or not it is profitable to seek repayment. You may work internally or for collection agencies that are contracted to deal with bills. Preferred qualifications for this career include a few years of job experience in commercial or business-to-business billing and payments and strong verbal communication and math skills.
