The Claim Clinic

Jeremy Rettig brings on one of the most known names in the restoration business, Andrew McCabe. Andy is a 20-year veteran of the disaster recovery industry and has performed every function of a restoration professional from mold and water technician to marketing and estimating. After working for several contractors in three states, Andy opened the independent Xactimate estimating & restoration consulting company Claims Delegates based in Bend, Oregon. He applies his knowledge and experience helping contractors navigate the strange world of insurance claims specializing in property damage insurance claims resolution and complex building envelope issues.The two dive into entrepreneurial guilt, their different business models, and Jeremy shares a story of how he saved a teenager from being trapped in his car in the most recent storm.What You Will Learn:(*) Navigating the fine line of playing by the rules and compromising your integrity(*) What are the Restoration Rebels?(*) What are restoration companies today doing wrong?(*) Why is restoration recession proof?(*) Don't get taken advantage of Links:youtube: https://youtu.be/08WYL-SiOpIandy@claimsdelegates.comhttps://www.adjuster-university.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/RestorationRebelhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andymccabe/https://www.claimsdelegates.com https://twitter.com/claimsdelegates Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/the-claim-clinic.

JT Kraai and Exit StrategiesServing the Restoration Industry Nationwide100% Confidential@ 503.577.5649 or info@exitstrategies360.comExitStrategies360.com  linkedin.com/in/jt-kraai-52b40018Restoration Industry Lessons Learned from the 2008 RecessionDue to the strength of the industry, restoration businesses should be front and center as solid acquisition targets.Selling a business can be scary. Terrifying when the economy isn't cooperating. The below will ease your fears.There are three primary factors driving the value of your restoration business:1. Business performance- making any money?2. Seller's personal timing- ready as an individual?3. State of the industry/ economy- still a solid business model?Ideally, all three are in alignment. Rest easy however, even during the best of times this is a challenge.Business PerformanceFrom 2008 - 2011 the industry proved it was recession resistant. Many restoration companies grew during these years.Has emergency response stopped? No. There is money to be made in a difficult economy. Many of you are in opportunistic spots as you continue to service ongoing disasters and discover how to serve new clients during this COVID-19 pandemic.Though your business model may look a bit different, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll struggle or not be able to pursue an exit.Personal TimingAfter 20+ years of transactions I've learned an owner's decision to sell is rarely due to financial reasons alone. Often sales are driven by other factors: age, health, burnout, or an industry that's no longer recognizable.Yes, some of these events can be anticipated, but many occur unexpectedly. Regularly I hear, "I'm on a 3-5 year plan to exit." Within days they'll then say, "I really need out. how quickly can you get it sold?"How does this happen? It's simple ..You're not ready to sell ... until you are. Then it can't happen fast enough.Basic preparation can be an owner's best weapon. To be clear, it does not mean you're for sale, only preparing for one. Obtaining answers is not difficult, plus they'll offer the confidence and peace of mind as you move closer to an exit.Industry & EconomyThough the recent pandemic has resulted in a decline of general acquisition activity, there are still solid buyers looking for viable restoration businesses.Due to the strength of the industry, many restoration businesses should be front and center as solid acquisition targets.There are many variables to consider when contemplating a sale. Receiving solid answers is paramount. Your exit strategy will be stronger for both you and your company.My Podcasting Setup:Logitech C920 Hd Pro Webcam - https://amzn.to/2Lqq6KNSamson Meteor Mic USB Studio Microphone, Limited Edition - Headphones Bundle - https://amzn.to/2xUgxR0Microphone Arm Stand, TONOR Adjustable Suspension Boom Scissor Mic Stand with Pop Filter - https://amzn.to/3fLUop2I AM AN AMAZON ASSOCIATE“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”(paid link) #ad #CommissionsEarned~ In 2012, Andy McCabe founded the property claim estimating and claims consultancy called Claims Delegates.

Why is your marketing and advertising program not generating the results you want? Is it working for a friend of yours company but not yours? Why is that? This seminar undercuts all of the modern online marketing technologies and teaches you the fundamentals that none of were ever taught. Fundamental that can make or break the success of your marketing program.Company Blurb: Stellar-eMarketing, Inc, @ www.water-damage-marketing.com has specialized in marketing the water damage industry online for almost a decade and is one of the most recognized in the industry having delivered successful programs to literally hundreds upon hundreds of water damage restoration companies all over the world.“Internet marketing is cramped with faceless companies that have forgotten about the business basics that made American Business great. Not us. We actually take your calls, know who you are, care about your ROI, set real & achievable expectations while actually doing the industry-leading work that we've sold you. While this all sounds obvious, we've all experienced otherwise with companies we've used out there.No one lasts long on our team if they don't share those same ideals. Call other companies first, or better yet, use them. Then come to us. You won't need our sales pitch to see that we're the leaders in local SEO. Promises about “overnight, magical results” in a sales call may get a foot in the door, but constantly winning the long-term marketing race like my team does is what separates the boys from the men.”Company Contact info: Shana Randell - VP of Sales, (866) 863-8452, shana@stellar-emarketing.comClaims Delegates http://www.claimsdelegates.com/xactimateestimates/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/claims-delegatesFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/ClaimsDelegatesTwitter - https://twitter.com/claimsdelegatesThe 24HR TECH mitigation documentation system: www.waterdamageprofit.comThe Claim Clinic Podcast: www.theclaim.clinichttps://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Claim-Clinic/563043650500608iTunes Link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-claim-clinic/id982839824?mt=2 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/the-claim-clinic.

Jerry Colosimo with BidWriteConsulting.com sat down with me to talk shop. Jerry works for restoration contractors performing on-site scope takeoffs and writing estimates in Xactimate.It was great to talk with Jerry. He has more experience in restoration than I do and I appreciate that he didn't rub it in.He and I mostly talked about what it means to hire someone to write your insurance repair estimates for you. I've written about the subject a couple times here and here, so I won't repeat myself.What I will say is that it was real nice to sit down with Jerry and talk about the things we do. The struggles of entrepreneurship are the same, whether you are running a restaurant or a consulting business. There are a lot of ups & downs and a quite a bit of wondering whether what we're doing is right or wrong.Both Jerry and I started our estimating businesses without knowing for sure whether the market would be receptive. I can say that my reception from the "establishment" was less than cordial at first. But we both pushed through, due in no small part to a group of restoration contractors and mentors who also believed what we believe: that there is more than one way to do things.I would be remiss not to mention my good friend, George Simon, with Craftmaster Restoration. George hires Jerry to write his Xactimate estimates for the restoration projects he runs. George is also the reason I met Jerry in the first place. Craftmaster Restoration and George Simon are both wonderful examples of running a business from the heart based on principle and strong ethics. Thank you George and Jerry.And thank YOU for reading and listening.

Carpet cleaner turned restoration professional. Teaching agent & adjuster marketing for the past ten years. Has written programs to teach restoration companies to properly marketing themselves to the insurance industry.Direct marketing is not a simple as it used to be. Inbound marketing is very important, but unless you know how the industry works it is very difficult to sell.Education starts with the basics: WRT, ASD and other IICRC and RIA technical training. OJT and time in service are key to mastering the ins & outs of restoration.Certified Restorer's school is the top certification.Continuing education should continue beyond initial certs. LinkedIn is a powerful learning and networking tool for ALL business people as well as restoration contractors. Understanding more about your target market, whether it's agents or plumbers, begins with getting involved in niche groups on sites like LinkedIn.http://showmemarketingsolutions.com/Disaster Brigade USALinkedIn: Ivan's Profile Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/the-claim-clinic.
