Learn to create successfully written, transparent estimates

-  Increase sales
-  Speed up closure rates
-  Decrease ALE (Additional Living Expenses)
-  Improve profit margins
-  Build trust with insureds and adjusters
-  Allow adjusters to set reserves

  • A system that takes the guess work out of pack out estimates.
  • One that you can adjust based on the actual work performed.
  • One that can be adjusted as insurance companies, programs and individual adjusters chop and change the way they want the estimates to be submitted.

When adjusters don't understand the pricing - they won't trust the estimate, they may not trust the contractor - and of course - they will push back on it. 

  • When is a pack out truly justified?  What factors should be considered?
  • "Time & Material" or "Line Item" Pricing - Is one better? Is one guaranteed to be less expensive for the insurance carrier?
  • When is on-site storage the worst option?
  • What value is there in identifying high value contents ASAP?
  • When is the best time to decide on the level of pack back?

Contractors- you may have seen your competitors win a bid based on a lower bottom line...only to see them submit supplements - which inflates the cost of the job in the long run.

Adjusters - you may have verbally agreed on a scope of work to be performed - was the delivered product as promised?

  • Learn to understand the requirements of insurance carriers, programs and adjusters. High detail vs. very simple estimates.
  • Overly complicated or too simplistic estimates - both can raise doubts.
  • Success starts with a clearly defined scope AND an agreed upon estimate.

  • Progressively educate adjusters on contents restoration
  • Perform a thorough walk through
  • Offer exceptional Customer Service
  • Assess type of damage
