New Member Roundup: Thoughts From Our New Members

ROSE AGENCY, INC.
Contact: Barbara Perry 
Web site/phone number: www.roseagencyinc.com, (260)469-3323
A Chamber member since: February 25, 2010

If you had 30 seconds to communicate to someone what you do, what would you say?
We are a debt collection firm, brand new in the Fort Wayne area. We do however cover the regional area of the Midwest. We have a small staff but that small staff has over 50 years of experience. We can still handle large accounts due to our state of the art collection software with Ontario Systems. We also work with a network of attorneys if our phone and letter communications are unsuccessful.

What is one thing that sets you apart from all others?
The relationship with attorneys, the software and the collective experience of our staff. If we don’t collect there is no cost to our client.

Who are you looking to connect with through your Chamber membership?
We keep our arms open wide to almost any type of business but we specialize in the automotive, healthcare, and communications industries.

What is your #1 goal for 2010?
To assist businesses in collecting the debts and accounts receivable that are due to them and promote growth in the Fort Wayne area.

A lot of companies outsource the I.T. staff but we don’t. Our mission is to provide unparalleled excellence and service at outstanding prices. We don’t want a customer for awhile; we want a customer for a lifetime.

Anyone.
