LUCIE, FL - Branding Arc, a full-service marketing firm in the financial services industry, is pleased to announce the promotions of three staff members. The new titles include Leah Snyder, Vice President of Operations; Chris Perez, Vice President of SEO; and Katie Head, Director of Content. On the heels of celebrating Branding Arc’s tenth anniversary last fall, the growing business has established itself in the receivables management and financial services industries as a positive and dependable force for its cutting-edge website, marketing, and reputation management solutions. “We’re excited to roll out these well-deserved promotions. We’ve all worked hard to take our services to the next level this year in all regards. From internal workflows and collaboration to new marketing strategies, we’re poised to continue growth in our expanding market and optimize value for current and future clients. I’m very excited about what’s on the horizon for our team! ” said Branding Arc CEO, Adam Parks. https://brandingarc. com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Leah. png Leah Snyder, VP of Operations Ms. Snyder is responsible for coordinating the executive activities of the international team; defining, implementing, and revising operational policies and guidelines; and the management and oversight of critical business administration within the company.

Having a powerful website helps consumers to understand that you are a professional financial institution that should be respected. Here are the five key reasons having a great website is essential for collection agencies: 1. 24/7 Online Presence With 90% of the U. S. population accessing the internet daily and over 85% of the country accessing the internet on a mobile device, it’s vitally important that collection agencies have an online presence. Collection agencies are in a unique position of consistently engaging with new consumers and clients and thus need to be available 24/7/365 for customers to access, assess, and use their services. Every collection agency’s website’s first goal should be to run every hour of the day and to be accessible from any device (desktop, tablet, and smartphone). Collection agencies cannot afford to have their website fail at any hour of the day. Secure website hosting is a must. 2. Saves You, Your Consumers, and Your Clients Time A website isn’t just about selling your services. While collection agencies need websites that are available 24/7, it’s also essential to have a website that is functional beyond your office hours as well. A common misconception is that a website is designed only to drive traffic to your office, phone lines, or products. The website itself should save you, your consumers, and your... --- ### The Value of Incremental Growth - Published: 2022-03-25 - Modified: 2022-03-25 - URL: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/value-incremental-growth-plaza-services-llc - Categories: Executive - Tags: Adam Parks, Executives, Regional Event, RMAI In the first installment of this four part series, “A Path for Association Involvement,” we outlined why and more specifically, how to get involved in industry associations. In this second installment, Plaza Services’ CMO and newly elected RMAI President, Adam Parks, discusses the value of incremental growth. At the RMAI 2022 conference in Las Vegas, each of the RMAI Board of Directors went around the table one evening, engaging in an annual tradition of taking turns sharing his or her “proudest moment at RMAI. ” What came to mind this year for me was the RMAI Regional Event. Its incremental growth from inception to what we have planned for 2022 and beyond is a process that I’ve not only learned from but have been honored and proud to be involved in. It’s also a shining example of the accomplishments that can be achieved over time through ongoing incremental growth. Association vs. Private Business When the idea for the regional event was first introduced four years ago, I was enthusiastic but also admittedly still “green” to the ways of trade association board leadership as opposed to private business leadership. That is to say, I was eager to help make it a full-fledged reality, quickly. What I’ve learned, however, is that while there is certainly a place in business for quickly “pushing the gas,” that approach isn’t always the right one for a large organization thoughtfully representing multitudes of stakeholder interests. Arriving with ambition is fantastic, but when you’re operating within a... --- ### Branding Arc Team Looks Ahead to RMAI Conference February 7-10, 2022 > Branding Arc looks forward to attending the RMAI 2022 Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV from February 7-10, 2022 - Published: 2021-12-21 - Modified: 2022-01-05 - URL: https://brandingarc.com/branding-arc-team-looks-ahead-to-rmai-conference-february-7-10-2022/ - Categories: Company News - Tags: Adam Parks, Chris Gulizia, Conferences, Eryn Fiondella, Leah Snyder, RMAI PORT SAINT LUCIE, Fla. — Branding Arc, a marketing firm in the financial services industry, looks forward to attending the RMAI 2022 Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV from February 7-10, 2022.

As the conference agenda addresses, there have been such issues to consider as emerging AI trends, Reg F compliance, digital preferences, regulatory shifts, market changes, and more. The Branding Arc team is eagerly anticipating attending the conference’s informational and educational sessions to spark additional reflection and conversation on these topics and looks forward to the opportunity to earn credit for RMAI individual certification renewals and new certifications.

A Changing Game This year has been full of curveballs with the challenges our industry, nation, and the world have been facing and continue to expect. With the pandemic’s economic impact on consumers and consumer protections, updated regulations, new location-specific bills pertaining to the industry, new regulatory leaders, and a new administration in the U. S. , it’s somewhat of a new ball game for many of our businesses. Still, we’ve faced changes and challenges before and we know that with teamwork, we can leverage these things to improve ourselves and ultimately come out stronger and better. This advocacy and networking event is a well-timed opportunity to collaborate, coordinate, and prepare for the coming year. As members of RMAI, we are all professionals dedicated to integrity and best practices within the receivables management industry, so the setting for such discussions is perfect.

This contribution will help reach child sexual abuse victims who have been silenced during stay-at-home orders resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic and subsequent school closures have kept children away from teachers and school personnel who often assist victims in identifying and reporting abuse. According to Child Welfare Information Gateway, 67% of substantiated child abuse or neglect reports come from victim-serving professionals and 19% of these reports come from education personnel in the U. S. Child welfare agencies in some cities across the U. S. are reporting an over 50% decline in reports of abuse during the spring of 2020 compared with the same time period in 2019. The Stop Abuse program and website is a valuable resource for victims and advocates to access when they may be unable to reach out to someone directly. In addition to providing in-kind website management, optimization, and hosting services, Branding Arc’s President, Adam Parks, believes in the mission of this organization and the critical education they provide. “During this time of need, this is one small way we can help make this crisis a priority,” says Mr. Parks.

When creditors are unable to collect on account balances, they often need to rely on professionals like collection agencies, law firms or debt buyers to recoup as much as possible from their distressed and charged off accounts. When creditors need immediate cash flow, they may sell their delinquent or charged-off accounts to an investment firm that specializes in purchasing and managing distressed assets. These investment firms are often known as “debt buyers”. Debt buyers purchase the accounts from the creditor for cash, then use their systems and processes to attempt to collect the outstanding debt. When creditors choose to sell debt, it is important that they choose the right debt buyer partner. Finding the right debt buyer to work with can be the key to sustainable growth while the wrong choice can cause reputational and financial damage. That is why it is critical for creditors to find a debt buyer that shares a mutual commitment to the highest compliance standards and consumer experience. Here, we share 6 items creditors should look for when selecting a debt buyer partner. --- ### Provana Announces Acquisition ComplyARM - Published: 2019-07-01 - Modified: 2019-08-29 - URL: https://www.receivablesinfo.com/2019/06/25/provana-announces-acquisition-of-complyarm/ - Categories: Press Release Provana, a leading provider of innovative technology solutions and knowledge process outsourcing for the Receivables Management industry, is proud to announce their acquisition of the ComplyARM compliance management platform.

Managing people is more of an art than science because of the necessary focus on human behavior. Applying the same expectations and compensation across the board is a receipt for disaster. Behavioral science draws from a variety of disciplines including, psychology and sociology to better explain the attitudes and choices people make, and to better understand what motivates people. In the Accounts Receivable Management industry, keeping your employees motivated can be challenging. As managers our objective is to get all of the human resources to focus their efforts toward reaching organizational goals. The art of achieving this objective is never cut and dry. Different people throughout your organization have different motivations and getting everyone moving in the same direction can be frustrating, but it is necessary in order to achieve your organization’s success. https://adamparksinc. wpengine. com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/shutterstock_214759504. jpg A Deeper Look at Employee Motivation Understanding the motivations of your people can help you provide programs and incentives that meet the needs of the different types of people working in your office.
