About the role

Lupita follows up on your retainer portfolio month after month with tact. No robotic reminders: she negotiates with each client, listens to excuses, proposes payment plans, and escalates to you when someone gets truly complicated.

What she can do

  • Reminds the client about their retainer with a natural tone, not cold collections
  • Handles common excuses ("this week for sure", "already deposited", "something came up") with patience
  • Proposes reasonable payment plans when she detects real financial pressure
  • Keeps history on each client: who pays on time, who's always late, who needs more handholding
  • Escalates to you (not to the client) when someone hits 30 days or breaks a promise
  • Hands you a single card every Monday: how much was collected, what's promised, what needs your attention

What she never does

  • Never cancels retainers or threatens service suspension without your OK
  • Never applies discounts, write-offs, or waivers without your authorization
  • Never contacts clients outside the schedule you set
  • Never reaches out to a new client before you introduce them

Three real scenarios

  1. Situation

    Client 5 days late, normally pays on time

  2. Action

    I send a friendly WhatsApp reminder, no pressure, assuming it slipped their mind

  3. Result

    70% pay within 48 hours without you having to know

  1. Situation

    Client promised to pay Friday but didn't

  2. Action

    I write Monday with tact, ask if everything's OK, give them a chance to reschedule

  3. Result

    Relationship stays alive without feeling harassed; you only hear about it if they break a second promise

  1. Situation

    Client at 30 days unpaid and not responding

  2. Action

    I escalate to you with full history and 2-3 action options

  3. Result

    You decide whether to suspend, forgive, or call personally — I don't act alone

What she needs from you to start

  • Your list of monthly retainers with amount and billing day
  • Access to WhatsApp Business or a dedicated collections number
  • Your manual: how you like clients to be addressed
  • Fifteen minutes upfront so you can tell me which clients have special history
