Here's the thing about collections...

They destroy the very relationships that built your business.

These are your neighbors

They shop at the same stores. Their kids go to the same schools. You're connected on Facebook. You might even be friends with their friends. When collections agencies start calling, those connections don't disappear—they become witnesses to how you treat people when they're struggling.

You paid real money to find them

Think about what you spent on ads, SEO, networking, word-of-mouth building. Customer acquisition isn't cheap. Now imagine taking that expensive relationship and handing it to a collections agency for pennies on the dollar. You lose twice: once on the discounted debt, again on the burned bridge.

Life happens to good people

More people are living paycheck to paycheck than ever before. A customer fully intends to pay, then—car repair, medical emergency, unexpected job loss—suddenly they can't. They're not bad people trying to cheat you. They're just people dealing with life. And given a fair chance, most will do the right thing.

Turn potential critics into vocal champions

Imagine a customer who was struggling, couldn't pay on time, and you worked with them instead of against them. They'll remember that kindness. They'll tell their friends. They'll leave glowing reviews. They might even become your most loyal customers—all because you gave them an olive branch when they needed it most.

We believe people want to do the right thing

When given the opportunity to be kind, most people will choose kindness. When treated with dignity and respect, most people will step up and meet you halfway. With Good Plan lets you be the kind of business that believes in people—and gives them a real chance to prove you right.

No collections

Work directly with your customers, not through middlemen who profit from conflict.

No burned bridges

Keep relationships intact. Today's struggling customer can be tomorrow's biggest advocate.

No harassment

Neutral, respectful communication that treats everyone like the grown-ups they are.

Treat people like the neighbors they are. Not the numbers collections agencies see.

With Good Plan will outperform collections—not just today, but for years to come.
