My strategy was simple; produce a very large number of quality claims with less hassle to my employers than the other CAT adjusters working around me. It worked pretty well, too. As claims started slowing down, I started getting calls from my storm manager asking if I could handle claims that other slower adjusters were not closing quickly enough.

How to be a Student in an Xactimate Class
Posted on March 20, 2011Take everything you can get. Remember, this is your class – you paid good money for it, it’s important to your career, it’s something you’re doing with your valuable time; so make the most of it. Milk it for everything.

What you chose to sow or not sow today is creating a new future.... read more

Procrastination and Parkinson’s Law
Posted on March 6, 2011I’ll tell you something – being massively productive feels great. Really great. Waking up at 5am, driving to your first scope at the break of dawn, scoping all day till 2pm, driving back to the hotel and completing every last report by midnight is a wonderful feeling. You feel clean and pure, with nothing hanging over your head. Especially when you count your invoices!... read more
