Product Details

If you sell services to insurance claims adjusters or want to increase market share of insurance restoration work, you need this book. It was written by an adjuster for contractors wanting to understand the insurance industry and the mind of the adjuster. Adjusters spend upwards of $250 Billion each year regardless of slowdowns in the economy.

With over 500 pages, this book has been updated on several different topics. First of all the directory listings of claims organizations have been updated along with a new listing of surety bond agents. New premium stats have been added to show which insurance companies are writing the most business and where you should focus your marketing efforts. About 50 pages worth of new Claim Marketing Tipz have been added. These Claim Marketing Tipz truly reflect what’s happening in the industry and what contractors face in real time; today. We’ve also deleted some information that was pertinent 20 years ago when the book was first written and added info based on new trends.

We’ve included commentary from attorney Harvey Cohen, a specialist in collections for the restoration industry. In all we’ve updated over 200 pages and that makes for an extremely pertinent resource to enlighten your path to working with the insurance industry.
