Our advisers are trained to have those conversations around debt with empathy and understanding, taking into consideration that many SME businesses are struggling following the pandemic and the current cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo sign this deal is another milestone for us and it allows us to use our extensive experience in B2B collections for the benefit of Yu Energy. We hope that due to its success we will see a long and positive relationship with them. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee Harrison, Head of Debt and Commercial at Yu Energy added: \u201cWith many of our business customers under pressure we want to support them as much as possible and a big part of that is improving their energy and water payment schedules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team at Sigma Connected are playing a key role in providing that support and we are delighted with the large increase in customer contacts they are driving. It\u2019s a relationship which is going from strength-to-strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">106<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/sigma-connected-secures-yu-energy-contract\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
