We have once again earned a spot on the Best Places to Work in Collections list. We have now been on this list for over a decade, 12 years to be exact, and we are very proud to have this as one of our main goals as a company. Creating a place where people want to come to work and contribute is a goal that any business should have in their sights. And it is one goal that we believe is paramount to building a thriving organization. When we founded American Profit Recovery, it was one of the things that we felt needed to happen to create a sustainable business.

But what does this mean for you the client, the potential client and even the person struggling with debt that we ultimately call on? Continue reading “We won another award. Why should you care?” →

What if I told you that not only did my boss (Brian Liberadzki) treat his entire team of eight, at that moment, to lunch at Dave & Buster’s, but paid for all of us to play games too. Out of his own pocket! How could this be true you may ask yourself? Well let me first explain why we were treated to a fantastic day of fun at the expense of a great mentor.

It began in March of 2019. Tax time was already upon us and calls were flying in left and right. Overwhelming some inexperienced may say, mainly me. Anyway, every collector was looking forward to this time to help out consumers and clients the same. Team Liberadzki was on a roll, I mean straight up just chugging along. About midway through the month Brian looks at our total Net collections as a team and sees we are close to breaking his teams’ previous record of monthly Net collections.

We crushed our previous goals, so the captain of the team decided to treat us all for are hard work we have put in to not only help clients receive past due payments, but to help consumers get caught up in their obligations. That leads us to the trip. Continue reading “It’s all fun and games when we work as a team…” →

Our team seems to be always getting involved in something greater than themselves and this April was no different. Our crew has raised money for many causes including breast cancer research, Special Olympics and other noteworthy missions over the years.

This past month, they once again took on the ACA Collectors Challenge and raised close to $1,500 for this program. Our team has been raising money and having fun each April and they know their efforts are going to help many in the collection industry.

In the past decade, we have raised over $18,000 to help fund educational opportunities.

The ACA Collectors Challenge raises funds for the ACA International Education Foundation. And those funds ultimately go towards funding the Loomer-Mortensn Scholarship program that helps to fund higher education opportunities for those working the collection industry and their family members, including some of our own over the years.

A few weeks ago I celebrated my one year anniversary working at American Profit Recovery, so I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on what I’ve experienced thus far during my tenure with the company as a collector. I should start by stating, that working here for the past 12 months, has sincerely been a pleasure. I’ve held various positions in the past, as I’m sure everyone else has as well, that made getting out of bed in the morning a constant struggle because I dreaded the work that awaited me once I arrived at the office. It’s extremely refreshing to say I have not had one of those mornings while working for this collection agency.

To be honest, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when I initially accepted the offer to work here. I knew I would be calling people all day long, the office looked nice and the people there seemed friendly, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I had experience with over the phone sales positions in the past, so I was used to making a large volume of calls on a daily basis, but I never enjoyed those roles. No matter how successful I was in those positions, I always went home at the end of the day feeling like I just spent eight hours bothering people and I was hoping this gig would be different.

One thing that sets American Profit Recovery apart from many companies is the management’s way of going above and beyond to show their appreciation for their employees. Some examples of this are APR’s annual Employee Week, the holiday party, and my personal favorite, the end of the year call. This is when all APR employees get together in the big conference room, eat pizza, and recap the highlights of the year. Every department is honored as we go over collection and sales statistics and address the important roles that our support and IT teams play in the grand scheme of things.

In this meeting, awards are handed out for various categories, like Most Improved Collector, Rookie of the Year, and of course, the Corporate Citizen Award, an award that every employee is eligible to receive. Prizes are also given to employees who submit Bright Ideas to make the company even better, as well as those who take the time to recognize the good behavior of others through APR’s Caught in Action program.

I do love this time of year, as it seems everyone has a little more pep in their step and a smile on their face coming into the Holidays.  It is a time of giving and a time to be thankful for our families and friends.  Many people get to see loved ones that they may not have seen in a long time.

It is also a time to reflect on the, soon to be, year gone by.  It is a great time to see what you accomplished this year and to also plan for a great year to come!  As I reflect on the year gone by here at APR, I can’t help but smile and be grateful.

Often times when you think of collections and what debt collectors might be like I’m sure there’s a negative image in your mind right from the beginning. I am happy to say the reality is much different, especially those of us who work for American Profit Recovery. This agency has built an amazing foundation displaying what it means to work with “family” all while staying professional. What I mean by that is, from the moment you call our office you’re likely to hear “It’s a beautiful day at American Profit Recovery” or to see a smile as you walk into the office.  Everyone knows you on a personal level and the culture couldn’t be more inviting. Everything from football talk, casual days, to cracking jokes during company calls, makes all the difference when you sit back and look at the big picture.

Growing up, my birthday was one of the most exciting days of the year. It was one of those days my parents didn’t have to get me out of bed for. I was totally aware that it was MY day and very excited for the celebration/presents/cake/birthday wishes … it was awesome!

My birthday has changed a little bit over time.  It’s now just a regular day. Void of the excitement of childhood, I awake to the obligations and routine of everyday life. The dog needs to go out, my son needs to be changed, fed, dressed, and brought to daycare … just a regular day. Continue reading “Reflections on another birthday” →

It is hard to believe that I recently celebrated my 11 year anniversary at American Profit Recovery.  A lot has changed in my personal life since that time in 2007 and I still remember the excitement and nervousness I felt during that first interview.

Since then, I have gotten married, had a daughter and moved twice.  Likewise, there have been numerous changes at American Profit Recovery since that time.  For myself, I have grown from a brand-new, very green collector, to managing a team of collectors, training and developing those collectors and seeing them grow into management roles themselves.

On a company level, I have seen American Profit Recovery grow from a small collection agency to a medium-sized (and proud of it!) agency.  I have seen us grow each of our departments, I have seen office expansions, changes in procedure and continued advancements in our industry over the years that I never would have imagined. 

While some may think that after a long career here at American Profit Recovery that I would no longer feel the same excitement I did during my first interview, the opposite is actually the case.  I cannot wait to see what the next 11 years brings!

My experience has put me in a better place to anticipate some of those changes;  however, they will be no less exciting to see.  What I know for sure, is that whatever the future brings, I’m looking forward to continuing to grow with American Profit Recovery, and seeing the company continue to grow as well.
