Here are some traits that a person needs to possess in order to be a great repoman.
- Trustworthiness – A lender needs to know that you are going to do what you said you would do. Do not make promises you can’t possibly keep.
- Honesty – Your effectiveness as a repoman cannot afford to be caught in a lie, even one time. If you did not do something, that’s okay, but if you did, then own up to the lender.
- Leadership – You have to be able to make tough decisions, solve problems, and work through difficult decisions. Everything rises and falls on leadership.
- Confidentiality – Lenders want agents that do not disclose information about their debtors. Your clients do not want to get hauled into court because you have loose lips.
- Work ethic – Being a repoman is a 24-hour, 7 day-a-week job. The repossession industry is not well suited for a lazy repoman.
- Generous – Be sure you give back to your community. You should not only give monetarily, but also give of yourself. There is nothing more rewarding than giving your time to a good cause. Click here to read more on charity.
