Workshop For New DCs

Debtfree are hosting a series of workshops for new Debt Counsellors and Debt Counsellors with less than 300 clients.

The online workshops are held each Thursday on Zoom and are 30min long.

Each week, those who attend get to discuss a topic about building their brand and getting more clients, as well as network with an industry service provider or credit provider (such as Consumer Friend, Nimble, Old Mutual, Nutun and the various banks)

The workshops are free to attend but booking your spot is vital.

You can email: workshops@debtfreedigi.co.za for more information.

If you are a new Debt Counsellor, then you will quickly learn that getting new clients is not easy. Many people have reservations about getting help with their debt problems. Many Debt Counsellors have to actively encourage people to take action and ask for help.

There are costs associated with doing so. These can be prohibitive and can mean that newer practices do not end up helping enough clients to be financially sustainable.

Reason Include:

            • Lack of education about debt & debt management
            • Embarrasment
            • Fear of making poor choices
            • Unrealistically hoping for things to just improve on their own
            • Fear of disappointing others
            • Misinformation about debt review
            • A habit of relying on more and more debt 

Fortunately, there are some easy (and low cost) steps that can be taken to help generate interest in debt review and debt counselling.  These and other topics are covered during the workshops.

This week we will consider why you need to track your stats and Risk management as you grow.
