Hi
We all do it, believing in things that aren’t true. As kids, we were told that Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and wrestling were all real. (hope no kids are reading this!) IT WAS A LIE, a myth, a fun thing to believe, but far from the truth.
Today I’d like to quickly bust some myths that you may still believe in as an independent adjuster. These myths, just like good ol Saint Nick, may be holding you back from the truth. Be careful the truth hurts.
(Due to Easter Weekend I have taken this week off from new episodes, but we have 4 amazing guests lined up for April! Stay Tuned!)
IA 32 How to Get More Deployments as a Hail Adjuster Without Breaking the Bank on Licenses
Today on episode 32 I wanted to share with you, How to Get More Deployments as a Hail Adjuster Without Breaking the Bank on Licenses.
I’m asked about what licenses to obtain over and over and I figured it was time I’d address it here on the podcast. I’ve missed a few weeks and I apologize. Been sick for a few weeks and we had a huge storm in Dallas, so no excuse, but I apologize for the absence and I’m back. Lots of great things happening and brewing. So I want to cover the licenses you should obtain, but first I need to tell you that.
