$41,400 recovered in 11 days

Mira Plumbing, suburban Chicago

The problem

Owner-operator running 2 vans. 23 invoices totaling $48,200 were 30 to 90 days past due. He was calling customers himself, reaching voicemail 70% of the time, and writing off the calls as wasted afternoons.

What happened

Connected QuickBooks on a Wednesday afternoon. Syntharra started calling Thursday morning. 19 of the first calls were answered on the first attempt. The conversations were short: most customers confirmed they'd pay, and most did.

Results

$41,400 recovered in 11 days. The remaining 4 invoices involved disputed amounts and were escalated to the owner for a direct conversation. He paid a 10% fee on what was recovered.
