Excellent book! It taught me the basics and as it was written in a very simple way i read through the whole book in 1/2 hour. I've actually given it to my partner who has been in the collection agency business for 20+ years and to date he's pointed out a few ideas!
Great writing.
A Good Business for Women to Get Into November 5, 2006
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
A debt collection agency is one of those businesses that literally can be started by working off of the kitchen table. You have to present a business like, dignified image to the outside world, but over the phone or at the end of an e-mail message there is no way for the outside world to know if you're still in your bathrobe and slippers or an expensive business suit.
This is also a pretty good business for women to start. There is a reluctance on the part of many women to be so agressive that they wind up being called a word that rhymes with 'witch.' Still, most business creditors are male, and being called by a friendly female automatically makes the male feel better.
On the other hand, it may well be a business that women don't like starting. Just remember this is a business, not a hobby. If you have the ambition and drive to start a business like this, here is a lot of the background information regarding how to do it. You could probably find a lot of this information available on the Internet, but here it's conveniently located in one place.
 As this book is very general and basic at best The author is not what I consider to be business like either. August 22, 2006

The author Michelle dunn is will NOT stand behind her work She is not very business like she will NOT refund money for double payments. Michelle Dunn does NOT stand behind her word.
This book is not one that I would reccomend, nor would I reccomend sending any payment to this author for anything.Dishonesty is a bad thing in the business world.

You may find nearly all the bits and pieces to put your collection agency together on the internet, from your State Dept. of Commerce, your attorney, your CPA, your marketing guru, your bookkeeper, your printer, your local Chamber, your post office, your local retired executives who volunteer as consultants, your consultants, your friends and family, your bookstore, etc. This gathering of information should take only 12 - 18 months (for your state only). And then you may have all info you need.
Or, you can buy Michelle Dunn's latest book.
In short: Damn! This is a very good piece of work. I am impressed. There is information in here that took us many, (many many) months to find. This is the most comprehensive `covers it all' book on bill collecting I have ever read. It's a fun read, if that is possible for a business book. I seriously recommend this as the First resource you invest in, even before you begin drafting up your business plan. Michelle should have published this a year ago.
