PRI grew our business on the promise to our clients that we will get the cars that no other agents can find. We do this by hiring the best agents, training them more than any other repossession company trains their employees, and we focus on teaching the “Peaceful Resolution Integrity” method. This is how we approach every debtor and every situation no matter how we as a company or the agents are treated. We understand that debtors are the reason we all have careers and it is our goal to practice business with integrity as the foremost principle by which we act.
We started to move in this direction in 2010 with the idea of creating a position within our company in which this employee's duties are solely customer service in nature to help the debtor through the repossession process…from start to finish. This position, the “Debtor Liaison" is the most important tool we have in the industry. The “PRIDL” role will be to speak to the debtor within the first few hours of the repossession. The PRI Debtor Liaison will be the person they can vent to...the person they can confide in and ask whatever questions they want and will do so knowing they will not be judged or treated unfairly in any way. The DL will give them detailed instructions on the steps following the repossession...hopefully taking the stress and anxiety and anger out of the repossession process. Every step of the way the Debtor Liaison will help them through the days or weeks that come and even do a follow up after the car is redeemed or taken and sold at auction. This differentiates us from being just a well performing repossession agency to a company that is based on customer service above everything else. We understand the challenges our clients face every day with the variables and legal ramification that go with the decision to repossess a car. Our goal is to be a major player on improving our client’s image and being an example in the industry we all can be proud of. Awesome performance and even better customer service.
PSQI: This score will be listed at the bottom of this section and will be posted every month for our clients to see. The PRI Service Quality Index in addition to our repossession performance matrix. This score is generated as follows:
Payback Repo has contracted an outside surveying company that will call a predetermined number of customers who had their cars repossessed the prior month. The customer is asked one question. "How do you feel the agent, knowing it is their job to recover your collateral, and the office and liaison employee helped ease you through the repossession process?" They will have a choice of three answers: one being they were completely satisfied, somewhat satisfied, or unsatisfied. Only an answer of completely satisfied will count as a point and we will create a score on that percentage. The debtor will then have an opportunity to give any feedback and any negative score will receive a call from our Vice President and he will rectify the issue if any. To help cultivate this culture we give away thousands in bonuses and contests that are based on customer service. Please click on the next tab to see out current and rolling customer service statistics and please call us with any questions or comments.
Here we welcome clients and share our statistics and "real time brainstorming notes" from our monthly quality control board meetings. Nothing pretty here...nothing edited. We want our clients and customers to see and fell our thoughts as we brainstorm around the round table. We hope you enjoy being a part of this evolution of America's Finest Repossession Company.
