2006 Annual Conference - Breakout

Three Great Breakout Sessions for You

How Mediation Can Help Protect You & Your Business
Ralph Henderson, SH Recovery & Associates
Ralph Henderson, founding partner of SH Recover & Associates will share how security
companies are successfully turning their overdue invoices into revenue. Specifically, Ralph
will advise CALSAGA members on how to collect their overdue invoices and broken service
contracts without losing their customers, as well as how to handle their clients’ disputed
invoices while getting their clients to pay.

At what point should you use an attorney in order to collect? When should a company use
a mediation firm and what is the difference between a mediation firm and a collection
agency? CALSAGA members will be taught why delaying to take action to collect can hurt
their chances in recovering their money.

Ralph has over 22 years of mediation and collection experience in the security industry
throughout the United States, Europe and Canada.

an ordinary citizen and business owner can have an impact on the process.
