The problems and the people standing in your and your customers way?

 

While the questions shown above may sound like blatant appeals to contractor greed, they are not.  Earning what they are really worth simply means getting paid what they should be paid for their work in a free market that is unencumbered by the unethical and immoral dictates and controls of those who seek to prevent that from happening.  The "how to legitimately increase your per job total pricing by 200%, 300%, or more" is not an encouragement for contractors to overcharge their insured customers on their insurance covered property damage claims.  It is however, an encouragement to contractors to learn how to overcome the underpayment attempts of P&C insurance companies that are, in far too many cases, 200%, 300%, or more, below what the insured's should be paid by their P&C insurance companies on their legitimate property damage claims. 

Because of UPPA in particular, as well as other questionable tactics employed by the P&C insurance industry to under pay and deny legitimate claims payments to their insured customers, contractors are no longer able to advocate on behalf of their insured customers or negotiate the free market price of their property damage repairs.  Instead, often at great additional cost, insured's are now forced to hire additional help in the form of a public adjuster, appraiser, or attorney to help them achieve the goal of fair and full claims payments.  With this training, contractors are taught how overcome the above hurdles by directing their insured customers to third party educational materials that will help them to move their own claims forward to fair and full payment with out additional expense.  

No insured property owner who becomes a victim of a storm or other property damage should be made a victim a second time by their P&C insurance company.

Since the introduction of UPPA in 2010, the storm damage restoration industry has gone through a number of changes that have dramatically and negatively affected the industry.  Because of UPPA and the continued use of the P&C insurance industry controlled Xactimate repair pricing program, what was once a free market, has become a quasi-forced market that is controlled by the P&C insurance industry.  In the past, P&C insurance operated as a semi-public trust that did, for the most part, honor the promises they made to their policyholder customers.  Today, as evidenced through the 60 MINUTES YouTube video below, they operate more as an organization whose primary mission is to maximize profits by paying out as little as possible on their policyholders legitimate claims.  Know that, although Florida hurricane claim problems are the primary focus of the 60 MINUTES video below, the problems discussed are also occurring all across the country and involve property & casualty insurance companies from the smallest to the largest.

By repeatedly altering, underreporting, underpaying, and denying payment for legitimate covered damage, directly employed and third party contracted insurance company desk adjusters who make the final claims payment decisions, leave too trusting insured policyholders underpaid and unpaid on their claims by hundreds of millions to billions of dollars every year.  This then means that storm damage restoration contractors are not able to order the hundreds of millions to billions of dollars worth of roofing and related building products needed to complete all of the legitimate repairs that should have been approved but never were.  Policyholders who have already suffered through a storm or other disaster are forced to suffer a second time, financially and otherwise, as a result of their insurance company's greed.  The hundreds of millions of dollars worth of proper and fair free market profits and income that should have been earned by storm damage restoration contractors as well as their building product distributors are also never realized.

Recently introduced contractor CRM programs may be helpful to contractors who contract retail remodeling work, but offer nothing of value to contractors who contract storm damage or other insurance paid restoration work and need to know how to overcome the problems mentioned above.  3RSystems, LLC storm damage restoration contractor training does.

 

The solution to the problems?

 

By Larry Burtis - President, 3RSystems, LLC

 

Maximize defined:  To achieve the maximum fair and full claims value relative to the premiums paid - no less and no more.

Over the past four decades, I have concurrently acted in the capacity of a professional retail remodel and storm damage restoration contractor and contractor trainer, an insurance and investment financial advisor, a licensed public insurance adjuster, an actor with the Guthrie's MET theatre, a rock band promoter, and an author.  Over that time, I have also, among other things, along with having employed several police officers in my business, pulled over law breaking police officers and caused several to be suspended, with the approval of a then sitting State Supreme Court Chief Justice, personally threatened a corrupt big city District Court Judge with criminal prosecution, taken on and won against high profile law firms and their attorneys in cases against their corrupt multi-million dollar corporate clients, successfully sued one of the country's most well known engineering firms, and successfully confronted misguided P&C insurance company CEO's which caused them to then act in the best interests of my insured customers.  It is from that wide and quite varied experience that I developed what I believe has proven to be the most powerful and advanced storm damage restoration contractor training available anywhere in the country today - 3RS Claims MAX©

With 3RS Claims MAX©, and the free included 3RStimax© repair estimating program I developed years ago, as a storm damage restoration contractor, you'll learn how to powerfully and effectively overcome the "UPPA Wall", XM8 or Symbility lowball pricing, and all of the other hurdles and obstacles placed in your and your insured customers way by dishonest and/or misguided P&C insurance IA and desk adjusters, their supervisors, their hired gun engineers, and their CEO's.  As a result, you and your sales reps will be able to regularly achieve maximum fair and full free market per job pricing that will allow you truly start earning what you are really worth.  The "Past Pro Contractor Student Endorsements" shown below tell the whole story.

 

"Past Pro Contractor Student Endorsements"

"I strongly endorse Larry Burtis and his 3RSystems, LLC contractor storm damage restoration process training program. It’s great for experienced contractors and their sales reps and even better for newer contractors and their sales reps who are struggling to get their customers storm damage claims fully, fairly and properly paid at real, true and accurate pro contractor free market pricing. Plus, it is extremely affordable."  Ed Fako - National Contracting and Claims Assn., Chicago, IL

"Soon after ordering and studying the program I was able to increase an insurance adjuster’s estimate from $34,000 to $71,000. Borrow the money if you have to, get this program and you'll make it back on one deal, probably double your income too." Jay Gomez, Jay's Roofing and Siding, Bozeman, MT

"I came across 3RSystems, LLC’s training on the internet and could not be happier with it. I have gotten my pricing back where I wanted it and almost doubled my yearly net profits. I would highly recommend this to any contractor who is tired of underpriced insurance company's."  Cory Edwards - Edwards Roofing, LLC Riverton, WY

I have been in the insurance restoration business for over 10 years. Fortunately a friend (also in the business) introduced me to Larry with 3RSystems. 3RSystems is very beneficial with its own software program vs. Xactimate, the thirty plus adjuster denials with rebuttals, and a full layout on how to run an insurance restoration business."   Jason Vogen - GC, Elite Exteriors, Burnsville, Minnesota

"This is not something I want to keep a secret from my competition, get the book! The more contractors that know this valuable information, the better for all!"   Randy Fern - GC/Roofing Contractor, Texas

“Larry, We at ACP Storm Repair are doing very, very well, thanks to your help in my early years in 2012-13. I get it now!! Thanks to you! Our average claim is $12,000 start and $50K finished!!!”   Alan Podvin, ACP Storm Repair, Parker, CO

“Overall I am very pleased with the product and feel it was money well spent. When I sat down to read the training for the first time it was one of those reads you don’t want to stop on. I found it that interesting. It was very informative and I found the information useful."   Dave Stewart - Contractor Sales Rep/Lawyer/Public Adjuster - Illinois

"When I purchased his 3RSystems, LLC contractor training program and applied all that I learned from it, I was quite impressed with the way it helped me to vastly improve my effectiveness as well as my profit potential. Only wish the program and his 3RStimax estimating software had been available years ago. I'd be retired by now!"   Harold Wren - General Contractor, Wren Builders - Minneapolis, Minnesota

"I have to tell you that this immediately made a difference in how my claims have been handled. I have been reading over and over, the excuses section, and it works! I love your stuff. Keep up the good work. I've geared most of my presentations now around your information. Lifesaver!" Brady Bisel, MBA/Contracting and Sales - Ohio

"I also endorse Larry Burtis / 3RSystems. Having Larry to our business several years ago was our introduction to the claim game solution.  I researched the issue quite a bit before compelling our business owner to invest some money into his course and get us some official training.  We have been on a steady roll of non-ending education since.  And, our investment was returned more than ten-fold in the first year.”  Scott Swing – C&S Roofing, Omaha, NE

 

 

 

Are you using XM8 or Symbility to estimate your insured customers property damage claims? 

Using XM8 or Symbility to estimate the repair costs of your insured customers property damage claims is like shooting yourself in the foot with the P&C insurance industry's gun!   

 

Here's why...

 

Beginning around 2006, restoration contractors started buying into the aggressively promoted P&C insurance industry propaganda that there was an advantage to restoration contractors in using the same property damage repair estimation program that P&C insurance paid for and demands that their adjusters use to estimate insurance covered repair work.  The big sell?  By writing then submitting their insured customers repair estimates on the same estimating program as the insurance company adjusters, restoration contractors would be better able to arrive at an agreeable total repair price.  

The big tell?  The problem with that is the fact that once insurance company independent and desk adjusters, many who had likely learned how to do their job from reading through their employers McKinsey & Company inspired how to pay claims manual and, in many cases, don't know the difference between a hail hit and a bird dropping would, on receipt, in following their employers orders, begin the process of slicing and dicing the contractors legitimate repair estimate line items and pricing into pieces.  Although the contractors pricing was free market based and proper, the pricing that the insurance company adjusters were offering was not and is not.  Instead, it was and, in most cases, continues to be, low ball pricing that is inaccurately presented as true and accurate survey based current market pricing for the area.  

So, why are thousands of restoration contractors from across the country still allowing P&C insurance to control their businesses by using the so-called "industry standard" repair estimating program to estimate the cost of their insured customers property damage repair claims - when there is no good reason for doing so?  Until now, they were not aware that there is a superior and proven but simple and easy to use contractor favored repair estimating alternative that makes those outmoded lowballing P&C insurance adjuster mandated "industry standard" estimating programs no longer relevant.  To learn how to take back control of your per job repair pricing from the P&C insurance industry, continue reading...  

 

The key to the achieving real, true, and accurate (RTA) free market pricing?

 

By Larry Burtis - President, 3RSystems, LLC

 

With 3RStimax©, you'll be able to write and submit your insured customers property damage repair estimates and GC O&P at real, true, and accurate (RTA) free market pricing, not at the typical low ball pricing that insurance company employed desk adjusters who've likely never lifted a hammer are told they should be at.  

From the graph above – the average 3RStimax© per job increase above insurance desk adjusters final offers was equal to $28,244.86 = to, on average, an increase of over 270% per job!  Also notice in the graph on the right how, using 3RStimax© to properly calculate the GC O&P, the GC O&P total shown on the claim came to $23,146.63 = to $8,262.54 more than when calculated at the P&C insurance made up and so-called "industry standard" rate of "10% & 10%" ($14,884.09).  With 3RStimax©, you'll have the option to submit your repair pricing as either Cost + estimates or LUMP SUM bids.  Also notice that none of the jobs shown required PA involvement thereby saving the contractor over $27,000 in PA fee's that would otherwise have been subtracted from the contractors profits.   

NOTES

P&C insurance cannot mandate that contractors use XM8 or Symbility and there is no advantage in doing so - except to the insurance companies that mandate that their insurance adjusters use one or the other.  Insurance company paid adjusters don't "prescribe" what repairs are needed, the contractor, who is the expert, "describes" what repairs are needed.
