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.
