Yoolaa Special Tasks – Cash Collection
No one in your business likes calling and chasing customers to pay your outstanding invoice(s).
You know you’re going to get the run-around, stories like these:
- We haven’t received your invoice
- You need the accounts department
- The amount is wrong
- The goods were damaged (or someone is unhappy with your services)
- We lost your invoice
- We’re waiting for formal approval
- The person who needs to approve it is on holiday
- It’s included in the run to be paid at the end of the month
- It missed the payment run
Yoolaa Special Tasks - Cash Collection makes it a simple process, because the computer does the heavy work for you, for example:
- Three days after sending the invoice, it will send an email to check they’ve received the invoice, to check they are happy it’s for the right amount and to remind them it’s due for payment on …………
- It will re-send email if there’s been no response
- If there’s still no response then telephone your contact to check it has been received
- Fifteen days before due date it will automaticallysend an email to gentle nudge them that your invoice is due for payment on ……..
- Three days before due date it will send a further reminder that your invoice is due for payment on …………
- If their payment has not been received within three days of the due date, it will send the ‘director’s email’, and
- Three days later your director telephones their director to identify with him that something is wrong with their payment systems as you haven’t received payment for your invoice and it is now overdue.
(We can amend any part of this to suit you.)
The essential part of the system is for your customer’s payment team to realise that you have a very slick collection system. That you do follow-up promptly and it’s therefore less effort for them if they give your invoice priority – which is all that you want.
The system can also be applied to all your current outstanding invoices.
One user licence is all that is needed, including set-up assistance, £89 pm plus Vat, and the system starts as soon as we have received your payment!

Saving the world! Happy Christmas
Seasons greetings!
A little story that might make you smile from a few years back...
Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick had a bit of a surprise while checking for speeding motorists on the A1 Great North Road. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the
speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar gun then stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it.
Just then, a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet, which was engaged in a low-flying exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North Sea.
Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a typically self-righteous complaint to the RAF Liaison office. ...and back came the reply from the RAF:
'Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Tornado had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it.
Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the pilot flying the Tornado recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able to override the automated defence system before the missile was launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed.
With that thought in mind, have a great Christmas!
All the best,

major increase in the volume of telephone calls
More calls make for more business, and you can save telecom costs
We are seeing a major increase in the volume of telephone calls being made by our customers, during this difficult time.
Presumably these calls are to get more customers, to talk to existing customers, to get people to pay earlier, to sell more services, to get more referrals, possibly even to get your accountant to help sort out the bank.
For our part we are of the opinion that Now is the time to get your call costs down and your rental reduced. It's what our customers are doing.
Call costs are calculated by the second, with a minimum charge of 1.5p each. Calls to other users of our VoIP Advantage system are FOC, that is your staff plus calls to us and others.
For example for international businesses we recommend our Business Centrex Package with Unlimited international Landline Calls to 35 Countries (Fair use check at 4000 mins per month) and a choice of free Grandstream GXP-2000, or Grandstream HT-502. International Service package: £45.00 setup fee, £25.00 per month, unlimited minutes to 35 Countries.
Cheers,
Cliff
