When insurance claims are not paid, replacement building products are not ordered

The Problem
For building product distribution company investors: Although unfamiliar with the realities of the property damage insurance restoration construction market and the multi-billion dollar sales "deficits" that the building product distributors operate under, without proper due diligence, investors readily buy into the promises made by building product distribution company M&A and C-Suite leadership of great things to come as they invest billions of dollars into acquiring typically smaller but related companies. While those acquisitions may increase the size of a building products distribution company's footprint, it does nothing however to solve the problem of recapturing the billions of dollars-worth of annually missed building product sales which, when recaptured, would contribute mightily to helping the investors in those companies to achieve true maximum ROI. Until then, however...
The much hyped "Shareholder Value Maximization" model, which former GE CEO Jack Welch once called "the dumbest idea in the world", has become an outmoded model that no clear thinking investor who is paying attention will follow in today's changing investment environment.
For Building product distributors: The biggest mistake these people make is that they view the 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 repairs to their damaged properties. Building product distribution companies spend millions of dollars on programs that may increase the efficiency of their contractor "sales force" product ordering and tracking processes, but they do nothing in the way of educating them on how the insurance claims recovery process should really work.
Not considering the above reality, rather than investing the relatively small amount of money needed to provide advanced training to their contractor "sales force" en masse which would result in a dramatic increase in sales of their building products to the ultimate buyers of those products, they instead operate under the assumption that, as long as the contractors keep ordering their products, there is no good reason to invest in getting available advanced and proven storm damage restoration process training into their hands. I suspect however, that as the investors in such companies become more educated on the subject matter as they now are as a result of our massive investor education support program, they will strongly disagree.
If you choose to disregard your contractor "sales force" and the tremendous value they bring to your business, as their awareness begins to increase - as is now happening exponentially, they (as well as your investors) will likely soon choose to disregard you.
For Contractors: Through our concerted efforts, the many thousands of contractors from across the country are beginning to understand their true value and are now beginning to demand that, in return for the billions of dollars they already spend on building product distributors roofing and related products and the profits the distributors earn on those sales, clear thinking building product distribution company leadership who hope to retain their current contractor sales force base as well as grow it to record levels, will provide the needed insurance recovery process training to them.
For Insured Property Owners: Also harmed in the process, are the insured property owners who place their trust as well as nearly a trillion dollars every year in premium payments, to the promises made to them by the P&C insurance industry. 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 roofing and related building product manufacturers: All of the above also negatively affects your sales as well.
The Solution

The only restoration contractor training available on the planet that teaches the insurance covered restoration contracting process from the forty years of combined retail & restoration construction industry experience, insurance & investment industry advisory experience, and winning Pro Se legal industry experience perspectives of its creator.
A repeatedly proven AI (ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE) based learning management system (LMS)
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.
Proprietary 3RStimax© property damage repair estimation program
Prior to the year 2005, restoration contractors used a variety of different free market repair estimating programs to estimate the cost of repairs to their insured property owner customers damaged properties. Around 2005, the property & casualty industry introduced a repair pricing estimating program called Xactimate. Owned and controlled by the property & casualty insurance industry, they sold the program to restoration contractors as “the industry standard” repair estimating program. The biggest problem with that program however, is the fact that being owned and controlled by the property and casualty insurance industry, the repair pricing listed was and still remains below free market pricing which results in dramatic underpayments to insured property owners – in fact, billions of dollars-worth every year, as shown through the link below.
“Weaponizing Xactimate: The Insurance Industry’s Dirty Little Secret”
How was the property & casualty insurance industry able to, over the past twenty years, convince tens of thousands of restoration contractors from across the country to buy into the Xactimate (and Symbility/Cotality) “industry standard” myth? As new contractors entered the restoration construction market, they 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, they 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.
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 before they were even presented.
The graph shown below clearly illustrates the dramatic difference in pricing between “industry standard” Insurance Company 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 applying what was learned through the training, the contractors who submitted their estimates on 3RStimax© which were accepted and approved at the substantially higher real, true, and accurate (RTA) free market pricing shown, were also able to avoid the costly and time consuming involvement of outside advisors.
(click on the graph to enlarge)
Contractors who still believe there is an advantage to using P&C insurance adjuster mandated Xactimate (or Symbility/Cotality) to write their insured customers damage repair estimates each pay $1,800 on average per year for those P&C insurance industry adjuster mandated and underpriced repair estimating programs.
Praise for the 3RSystems, LLC Storm Damage Restoration Contractor Training Program
As a powerful example as proof of how the training has helped contractors from across the USA to successfully overcome the P&C insurance industry resistance and produce substantially improved results for themselves, their insured customers, and their building product distributors, financially and otherwise, review the pro contractor endorsements of the training program shown below.
“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 companies.” 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
“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
“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
“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
“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

INSURED PROPERTY OWNERS

If you've suffered climate disaster damage to your commercial, residential or multi-housing property, you need our FREE:
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 victims 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 to achieve true and full recovery.
Part of the reason for that is the fact that 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 those property owners to overcome that knowledge deficit however, I wrote the above guide that gives them an in depth understanding on how the process really does 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.
Included in the guide is a chapter entitled "First things first – The Claims Process - from Filed to Final" that will teach readers of the guide the claims process steps in essentially the same manner that a 3RSystems, LLC trained restoration contractor would follow. This will allow the insured property owner to effectively and powerfully deal directly with their insurance company when their contractor no longer can because of UPPA and other unfair insurance industry lobbyist promoted prohibitions placed on restoration construction contractors.
