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.

We just got back from a great week in Louisville at the Landscapes 2018 and GIE+Expo.  We work with many different types of industries and some of those industries just happen to have a special place in my heart.  The Lawn Care and Landscape industry is simply one of my favorites.

These people are some of the most down to earth and easy going people you would ever want to meet.  The industry provides such a valuable service and I love how much they truly care about their customers.   I have to say that it was fantastic to see so many clients, some of which we have truly become good friends with.  It is somewhat like a family reunion!

We received so much positive feedback and to hear how well we have done for them definitely makes me feel great.  We have some of our highest recovery rates of any industry we work with.  We are nearing 1100 clients in the industry and have some fantastic partners such as NALP and Real Green Systems.

We are very grateful to be able to help these great companies and hope to continue to grow the number of companies we help in the industry.  Obviously, as we approach the winter months, their cash flow becomes even more important and we are proud to be a tool for these contractors to help them increase their cash flow and reduce some of their internal costs, time and strife.

Thank you to NALP for putting on this great event and thank you to all of our clients and partners, it was fantastic to see so many of you last week.
