The Problem

 

For Building Product Distribution Company Shareholders:  Multi-billion dollar M&A's 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 M&A's 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 the lack of advanced contractor customer training and property & casualty insurance companies refusal to fully pay the claims of their commercial and residential property owner customers.  Only when that problem is solved by building product distribution companies providing their contractor customers with the presented advanced training will institutional and individual investors in those companies be able to achieve real, true, and maximum ROI.    

For Building Product Distribution Company Leadership:  With the above in mind, the next 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. 

Once educated however, the building products distribution company's contractor "sales force" is able to help their insured property owner customers to legitimately maximize their insurance claim settlements which results in the recapture of those billions of dollars-worth of previously unordered roofing and related building products.  When that happens, the insured property owners are made whole, the profits and incomes of the contractors and the distributor who made the program available to them dramatically increase, and the building products distribution company's investors achieve real, true, and maximum ROI.  Another advantage to the distributor is that, as more contractors learn that a particular distributor is providing the program to their contractor "sales force", contractors from competing distribution companies will want to bring their valuable business to the distributor who is doing so.         

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 who still use Xactimate 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.  The proven solution to the problem?  3RSystems, LLC's advanced contractor training program combined with our proprietary, exclusive, and repeatedly proven Pro restoration contractor repair estimating program 3RStimax© as shown further down the page.    

Also problematic for insured property owners, their contractors, their contractors distributors, and the distributors investors are unauthorized practice of public adjusting (UPPA) laws/rules that 3RSystems, LLC refers to as "One of the biggest financial scams ever perpetrated against the American insurance buying public".  In clear violation of all known free market principals, UPPA laws/rules (attempt to) prevent restoration contractors from negotiating the pricing and scope of their insured customers legitimate property damage claims.  Included as part of the 3RSystems, LLC contractor training program, is the owners treatise on the subject entitled "The Unmasking of UPPA" that teaches all of the above named parties the truth about UPPA and how to fight back against and overcome it. 

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).

 

Note to manufacturers:  All of the above also negatively affects your sales as well.

 

 

The Solution

 

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 the value of their insured customers final claim settlements as clearly shown in the following example.  

The graph below clearly illustrates the dramatic difference in pricing between so-called "industry standard" (Xactimate, Symbility/Cotality, others) "Insurance company claim “final” offer(s)" shown in the far left column ($72,500) and the actual “Total claim recovery with 3RStimax©” ($270,214) total payments shown in the column to the right - which were all approved at the substantially higher real, true, and accurate (RTA) free market pricing shown.  And, all of the claims shown were approved without time consuming and expensive outside help.

Insured Commercial and Residential Property Owner Help

Insured Property Owners Storm Damage Recovery Guide©

In order to help insured commercial and residential property owners to understand how the recovery process should really work, I wrote the above guide and made it available for free to millions of insured property owners from across the USA and Canada.  By learning what is in the guide, property owners 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 insured commercial and residential property owners are then instructed to 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 additional roofing, siding, and related building materials needed (billions of dollars-worth) from their building product distributors with which to complete all of the repairs.

BUILDING PRODUCT

DISTRIBUTORS & INVESTORS

 

From  V  I  S  I  O  N   to   W  I  S  D O  M

 

The building products distributor who makes 3RSystems, LLC restoration contractor training available to all of their restoration contractor "sales force" across the USA and Canada will, as shown below, advance their building product sales to record levels, take a #1 top level position in the distribution industry, and achieve real, true, and maximum ROI for both themselves and their investors. 

 

 

For just a tiny fraction of the billions of dollars that building product distribution company boards and C-Suite leadership are spending on M&A's to acquire similar companies and provide AI, CRM's, and API programs to contractors that promise to help both parties to better order, track, and schedule product deliveries to job sites, common sense and wisdom clearly shows that both parties would be well served when their contractor "sales force" is provided with proven advanced contractor training that only 3RSystems, LLC training can provide. Only then will their contractor "sales force" be able to achieve the kind of superior results shown under the "Praise for the 3RSystems, LLC Storm Damage Restoration Contractor Training Program" endorsements shown previously.  Also, only then, will the building products distribution company who invests in the program be able to achieve the kind of incredible results as shown in "The results" box below.

 

The results...

 

With that done, property owners would be better served, billions of dollars-worth of previously unordered roofing, siding, and related building products orders would be recaptured, and building product distribution company shareholders (both private and public) would be able to achieve real, true, and maximum ROI.
