Building Product Distribution Company Shareholders, Building Product Distribution Company Leadership, Insurance Restoration Construction Contractors, and Insured Commercial and Residential Property Owners
- The one problem that all of the AI, CRM's, and API in the world can never solve -


The Problem
For Building Product Distribution Company Shareholders: Multi-billion dollar acquisitions of smaller building product and related distribution companies by larger building product distribution companies may dramatically increase the size of a building products distribution company's footprint. Those acquisitions do nothing however to solve the problem of helping building product distribution companies recapture the billions of dollars-worth of annually missed building product sales resulting from property & casualty insurance companies refusal to fully pay the claims of their commercial and residential property owner customers. Only when that problem is solved will institutional and individual investors in building product distribution companies be able to achieve real, true, and maximum ROI.
For Building Product Distribution Company Leadership: The biggest mistake building product distribution company leadership makes is that they view the many thousands of contractors who spend billions of dollars on their products every year as customers. In reality however, they are not truly customers at all but are, rather, their "sales force" who orders then sells those billions of dollars-worth of building products and services to the real customers which are the commercial and residential property owners who need such products to complete all of the insurance covered repairs to their damaged properties. While building product distribution companies spend millions of dollars on programs meant to increase the efficiency of their contractor "sales force" product ordering, tracking, and delivery processes (AI, CRM's, API), those programs do nothing in the way of helping their contractor "sales force" to become educated on how the insurance claims recovery process should really work.
For Insurance Restoration Construction Contractors: Around 2005, the property & casualty industry introduced their favored property damage repair pricing estimating program called Xactimate which they then sold to restoration contractors as the "industry standard". As mentioned in the article accessed through the "Weaponizing Xactimate" link below, under "A System Designed to Exhaust the Insured" it says, "Most homeowners and business owners aren’t equipped to understand Xactimate’s pricing nuances, let alone challenge a trained (insurance) adjuster. They accept the (insurance) carrier’s estimates as truth, unaware they’re being shortchanged. Contractors are often told to “eat the cost” or hear dismissive phrases like, “That’s just the cost of doing business."
"Weaponizing Xactimate: The Insurance Industry's Dirty Secret"
Every year, as a result of the above and a lack of advanced restoration contractor insurance claims recovery process training, contractors are prevented from ordering billions of dollars-worth of roofing and related building products from their building products distributors. Second in line to Xactimate which follows the same thinking is Symbility/Cotality.
For Insured Commercial and Residential Property Owners: Also tremendously harmed in the process, are the insured commercial and residential property owners who place their trust as well as hundreds of billions of dollars every year in premium payments, to the promises made to them by the P&C insurance industry that continues to fail them. Here's how one seasoned insured's plaintiff's attorney explained the problem several years ago;
“Despite the platitudes expressed by insurance companies in advertisements, where they brand themselves “the good hands people” or “a good neighbor,” they have one and only one purpose – to make as much money as possible. The way insurance companies make money is simple, by paying either nothing or as little as possible on any claim. What is fair or right is of no consequence.” Scott Dinsmore, APC (CA).

The Solution

The repeatedly proven AI (Actual Intelligence) based restoration contractor training LMS
The only restoration contractor training available today that teaches the insurance covered restoration contracting process from the forty plus years of combined retail & restoration construction industry experience, insurance & investment industry advisory experience, and winning Pro Se legal experience perspectives of its creator.
As has been repeatedly proven over the years, storm and related damage restoration contractors who complete our advanced 3RSystems, LLC storm damage restoration contractor insurance claims process training program are able to regularly and powerfully defeat and overcome P&C insurance company representatives unfair attempts to underpay or deny their customers legitimate property damage claims. They are also able to dramatically increase the number of property damage restoration contracts they write each year and, to the great benefit of the building products distribution company that makes the investment in getting the training into their contractor "sales force" hands, repeatedly and dramatically increase their per contract building product orders as they dramatically increase their insured customers final claim settlements.
3RStimax© The free market property damage repair estimating solution
In the past, as new contractors entered the restoration construction market, they mistakenly allowed themselves to be convinced that, as a result of aggressive marketing of Xactimate by property and casualty insurance industry leadership, using that “forced market”, knowingly and intentionally underpriced “industry standard” estimating program would move insurance company desk adjusters to more quickly approve the contractors repair estimates. Plus, many of the contractors that bought into the Xactimate hype were afraid that, by implication, if they submitted their customer’s damage repair estimates on a platform that was not Xactimate (or Symbility/Cotality), their customer’s insurance claim settlements would be delayed. That was then, this is now!
Knowing better, having previously proven the Xactimate “industry standard” myth to be just that, when I introduced my advanced restoration contractor training program to the construction industry in 2010, I included my in house formulated real, true, and accurate (RTA) free market 3RStimax© contractor repair estimating program as an integral part of the program. Key to the success of 3RStimax© was the application of my non-insurance industry “industry standard” training that taught contractors how to overcome insurance company adjuster price objections and damage repair denials before they were even presented.
The graph shown below clearly illustrates the dramatic difference in pricing between “industry standard” insurance company adjuster claim “final” offer(s) ($72,500) and the actual “Total claim recovery with 3RStimax©” ($270,214). Also key to note is the fact that, as a result of the contractors applying what they learned through the training, and submitting their estimates on 3RStimax© which were accepted and approved at the substantially higher real, true, and accurate (RTA) free market pricing shown, their insured customers were also able to avoid the costly and time consuming involvement of outside advisors.

Insured Commercial and Residential Property Owner Help

3RS Insured Property Owners Storm Damage Recovery Guide©
Groups such as Organizing Resilience, United Survivors Disaster Relief (USDR), and many other like organizations contribute greatly to changing the mindset, the approach, and the response to climate caused disasters. Although, through such programs, victims are helped to eventually recover after a climate caused disaster, all too often these days, those same people are victimized a second time when they file claims with their property and casualty insurance companies who have promised to make them whole. As a result, far too many of those victims often find themselves waiting many months and even years - if ever, to achieve true and full recovery.
Part of the reason for that is the fact that, as is the case with the great majority of restoration contractors, property owners typically have no idea how the insurance claim recovery process really works - and the property and casualty insurance industry takes full advantage of that fact. In order to help millions of property owners from across the USA to overcome that knowledge deficit however, I wrote the above guide that gives them an in depth understanding on how the process should really work. By learning what is in the guide, property owners who study the guide are empowered to level the playing field when dealing with their insurance companies and avoid the intentional delay, deny, defend claim tactics that are placed in their way by wayward insurance adjusters and engineers.
This also allows them to avoid the often quite costly and time consuming expense of having to hire outside help to move their legitimate property damage claims to fair, full, and final settlement. Those same commercial and residential property owners are then instructed to only look for and hire advanced 3RSystems, LLC trained restoration contractors who are also familiar with the guide to contract for and complete their property damage repairs. The end result being that more claims are settled faster and at settlement rates more relative to the premium payments made by the insured's. Their contractors are then able to order all of the materials needed (billions of dollars-worth) from their building product distributors with which to complete all of the repairs.

For just a tiny fraction of the multi-billions of dollars that roofing and related building product distributors are spending these days on M&A and a small fraction of what they are spending on AI, CRM's, and API programs that promise to help their contractor customers to order, track, and schedule product deliveries to job sites, they need to invest in advanced 3RSystems, LLC restoration contractor training that will actually help their contractor "sales force" to achieve the kind of superior results shown under the "Praise for the 3RSystems, LLC Storm Damage Restoration Contractor Training Program" endorsements shown previously.
