Most people know you get your big break during cat season. You can look all over the internet but you won't find it…which is crazy because everyone deals with insurance, but no one deals with insurance adjusting. That is pretty cool, and you don’t see that very often in trainers!” He paid attention to them all and brought them all along. He covered everybody, not spending too much time in the weeds with those who were really far ahead, or too much time with those just beginning. has an interesting speed about him that can bring along a pretty wide variety of skill levels, whether they're just starting or they've been there for a while. The one thing I missed, I went back and looked and we had covered it. It ended up being kind of anti-climatic and a non-event. With, we got to prove the value at the end with the Xactimate User Certification Exams, and as it turned out, I was very well prepared for that. “I go through a ton of these different types of trainings, and you always look for some decent value… So there’s the proof in the pudding right there that this is real and you better be ready to go!” The DAY after I got certified, three of the six partner IA firms were already reaching out to me. I’m confident that once I hit the field, I’m not going to be surprised by whole lot! My favorite part of the training was the ‘real world’ stuff…someone who has actually been there, done that - not just blowing smoke.

I can’t emphasize enough how much I appreciate that Matt is always generating value for others before receiving it for himself…it was already clear that this program was of great value and probably - truth be known - a little bit underpriced. has offered tens of thousands of hours by this point to put out this content. I wanted the actual fast track and this was it.ĭo your background on the people you’re thinking of spending this kind of money on for training and see what value they’ve already offered the industry. If you’re just dipping your toe in the water, this isn’t for you…but if you’ve investigated this career and you’re ready to go for real and get it done…I’ve looked into a lot of things that were purportedly a ‘fast track’ but they were 90 days or better! I just didn’t want to spend that kind of time. The baseline workflow that if you just do and stick to it, it's pretty hard to fail. The real value is in the process - the 2% here, the 3% there…then, by the end of the day, you have fabulous value. “There's no big, red ‘easy button’ to hit and all of a sudden be successful in anything. It's helping people and making a difference.” When I was given the 50 claims I was told, "Churn and burn as many a day as possible" but I am glad I took my time to learn how the carrier wanted the claims closed.

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge because it has helped me directly with my dailies and my first CAT deployment. (I took the additional claims, of course!) He told me I was submitting quality claims with little to no issues and it looks better numbers-wise to the carrier and him. He said, "Yeah, that's more than most of my guys so far…some of these guys go and inspect 6 to 10 a day for 3 days and have only submitted 1 or 2 claims so far or still haven't submitted a single claim yet." I said, "You know I've only submitted about 18 claims, right?" Especially since this was my first storm…But I got a call from the owner of the IA firm tonight and he asked if I'm ready for more claims! I've been submitting claims the day I inspect them for the most part, never letting them go more than the following day and they are getting closed. This is a little quicker than you typically say, but I felt confident. I triaged and scheduled inspections for all 50 and started with 1 claim a day for the first 2 days…2 for the next two days. “I got deployed for Ian…and a couple of days after driving to Florida, I was given 50 claims to start with NO ORIENTATION.
