Template

Build a collection strategy for the receivables portfolio in {ar_aging}. Proceed in order: (1) Stratify the aging: current, 30, 60, 90, 120+ days, with dollar totals and customer counts per bucket — strategy differs by bucket, so the stratification drives everything. (2) Within each overdue bucket, rank by dollar exposure and identify concentration: the top handful of accounts usually hold most of the money, so effort goes there first. (3) Diagnose cause per major account: disputed invoice, customer cash distress, process failure (invoice never received, wrong PO), or deliberate stretching — each has a different remedy, and dunning a disputed invoice damages the relationship without collecting anything. (4) Match action to diagnosis: resolve disputes, negotiate payment plans for distress, fix process failures, escalate deliberate stretchers toward credit hold. (5) Set the escalation ladder with specific day triggers: reminder, call, statement, credit hold, final demand, third-party collection or write-off, noting collection agencies and legal action have costs worth comparing to the balance. (6) Compute expected recovery by bucket using realistic rates and state the bad-debt reserve implication.
