  • Should companies be pivoting back to allowing employees to work from home, in the wake of the rising number of COVID cases?

  • Do you think the staffing/labor issues that many companies in the industry have had in recent months will continue into 2022? Why/why not?

  • Collector.Live! 2022 — Why is this such an important event for the industry? Why do you choose to participate? Why should companies sign up?

  • Given the continuing stats about people leaving the workforce – should/could we talk about why/how we see the role of a debt collector as a problem solver / helping professional – and some ideas about how to cultivate a culture of debt collector AS consumers’ helper?
