), collecting
payments happens to be the toughest task of coaching. We at InstaTeam,
understand a coach’s challenges and have built our app around making team management simpler.
The app-based payment system makes accepting payments and
keeping track really simple. However, bringing people to pay remains a
challenge. Here are a few ways you can get people to clear their dues without
actually offending them.
Send
reminder messages
While everybody sends ‘gentle reminders’ for dues, you can
actually send helpful messages that provide easy links to making online
payments or send push notifications that help parents directly to the payments
page.
Incentivize timely payment
Offer early bird discounts,
offers or even discount coupons from a sports store. You can partner up with a
local sports store, who wouldn’t mind extra sales. On the flip side, you can
impose fine on who pay up late.
Provide easy
payment options
Sometimes parents can have
genuine problems like a money crunch that the family might be going through. In
that case you can offer the facility to pay up in parts, like an installment
scheme. On the InstaTeam app you can customize the payment option to make it as
per the number of installments. This way the
installments will be recorded and there won’t be any confusion also.
Develop a
healthy relationship with parents
When parents have a bonding with you, they are more likely
to relate to your situation. More so, if they are not
able to pay, they’ll at least inform you and maybe even discuss their situation
with you. having a frank chat helps. A mutual empathy develops. And who knows,
the discussion might lead to way out. Do
not hesitate to ask for fee payment if its long
overdue. There has been a professional association and you’ve kept your side of
the deal by coaching the child well, so you shouldn’t have the slightest of
hesitations.
