Staying in touch

Now that hurricane season is officially over with no storms in sight, what are good ways to stay in touch with independent adjusting firms to make sure you stay on their radar?

• Follow the firms on Facebook and Twitter if they have accounts
• Make sure you're on e-mail distribution lists for training and updates
  
• Make a master list of insurance adjusting firms you've contacted. Include the name of the company, their website, and the HR manager or person in charge of training and deployments. In January, contact each firm to send them an updated resume. Check in monthly for training announcements. Get to know the manager as a person. This will keep you in their minds.

Remember, catastrophe and independent insurance adjusting is a volatile field. When things happen, you need to be ready to take advantage. We're entering a slow month or two, but it's a great time to get some insurance training because before you know it, spring floods and hail season will be here.
