Insurance adjusters are trained to control the claims process—but are they following the rules, or just making them up as they go? If you've ever been told:

❌ “I’m out of the office—try again next month.”

❌ “Our guidelines say we don’t pay for that.”

❌ “No one else charges for that line item.”

❌ “Mr. Policyholder, if you don’t use our preferred vendor, you may not get paid.”

Then you’ve already encountered the adjuster smokescreen—delays, denials, and deflections designed to stall payments and wear you down.

In this video, I break down how to cut through the noise and push back effectively. You’ll learn:

✅ Why "insurance guidelines" aren’t the same as policy requirements.

✅ How state claims handling regulations create duties on the carrier to communicate with you.

✅ The truth about Xactimate pricing and the fact that adjusters have ZERO data to show that it is accurate.

✅ The right way to request documentation from adjusters (instead of letting them bury you in paperwork).

✅ How to avoid crossing the line into unlicensed public adjusting while still fighting for what you’re owed.

We know you're tired of waiting on payments, dealing with arbitrary denials, and getting caught in endless back-and-forths.

Are adjusters are turning customers against you? It’s time to flip the script!

Don’t Let Adjusters Control the Narrative—Take Charge and Transform Your Customers into Your Biggest Supporters!

Join Restoration CrossCheck for an exclusive online training event this Thursday, January 30, 2025, where we’ll show you how to win policyholders' trust from the very first interaction. By mastering these proven techniques, you’ll have policyholders advocating for you, even when adjusters challenge your pricing.

Why This Matters:

👉 In restoration, building trust isn’t just important—it’s critical. If policyholders don’t see you as their ally, adjusters can step in and sway their opinions, leaving you to battle uphill for payments and respect.

In This Training, You’ll Discover:

✅ Empathy Strategies That Work: Learn how to instantly connect with customers and establish trust that adjusters can’t shake.

✅ Live Demonstration Techniques: Show policyholders what you’re capable of—right from the start—so they see you as the restoration expert.

✅ How to Turn Customers into Advocates: Transform your customers into your strongest supporters, ready to stand by you when disputes arise.

✅ Clear Communication Tips: Master the art of setting expectations and controlling the conversation from day one, especially on contents jobs.

📅 Date: Thursday, January 30, 2025
🕘 Time: 9 AM – 10:30 AM Pacific Time
💻 Location: Online!

Bud Summers, Executive Vice President of Operations & Training for PuroClean Corporate, is a leader in restoration training. He will reveal strategies he used to create raving fans who drove business growth and success—even in challenging situations.

[LIVE WEBCAST] The #1 reason people don’t reach their goals…

✅ Would you agree that if you got more of the right things done at the right time, that you would be more successful?

✅ Would you like to get better results?

✅ Would you like to have more fun and less stress while reaching your goals?

The # 1 reason you aren’t reaching the goals you really want, is because of what Howard Partridge calls F.T.I. (Failure To Implement).

Everyone deserves to have the life and the business they want! 🙏
