Your first time here, you got your first appointment. That's incredible. That right there is everything I've been to everybody. You can come to NACA and walk out of here with an opportunity. It's a black thumb here to watch success like that. Let's go find some more people. You're almost hit me in the face with the camera. One, two, three. Come on. Here we go. Here we go. Hey, what's up, man? Here with Juster TV. We just got to the 2023 Dinosaur Association of Potassium Investors and Conventional University of Las Vegas, Nevada. We're super, super excited to report our relationships and meet new people and have a great time. I came to NACA mainly because you told me I should, but no. I knew I needed to be at NACA when I started learning about it and I even turned down deployments to come and I had to be here. As a new adjuster, trying to get my feet wet, meet new firms. Firms that weren't on my radar before, definitely network. I'll learn more about the business and finally meet Matt in person. He's real. To see where I want to go, do I want to specialize? Do I want to go to to flood? Do I, what exactly I want to do? This is a place to get a lot of different information with a lot of different people. You get that personal information that it's really opened my eyes about a lot of the eye firms that I've talked to today. I always like to tell the adjusters, you know, fun, the firm that you feel comfortable with and build that relationship. I love how talkative everybody is. They're being very supportive. I was kind of expecting it to be a little more, little more walls and they're talking a lot more with you. They're really friendly. They want to talk to you. They want to know what you want out of your career. This year, I've learned that there's actually more than maybe 140, 150 new adjusters. Now I'm going to talk about the other one, the season of adjusters. I'm talking about people that are brand new to the industry. And that I think is so exciting and many of them have really great backgrounds. And so these are folks that we're really excited to get to meet. We're always looking for adjusters to join our roster. I mean, we're a growing company. In the Northeast, we're definitely growing and searching for adjusters out there. And then any coastal state as well, we're always looking for good adjusters down there because we're busy. So we want to put you to work. Tons of great opportunities. We're just joking with our team that there's really no stitching as a slow season anymore. So the work is out there for the people that want to get out there and do it. What have I been here? Six hours. And I already feel like I have so many more contacts and so many more opportunities to move forward. Adjusters that are coming to these types of organizations like NACCA, they take pride in their work. They want to make sure that their files are like lock tight. Creating a defensive lastments really important. So let's try to get away from this. Back this way. They run from me now. They're smart. So I've been talking to a lot of IAS firms, doing a lot of interviews, media with people. I've been going to some of the classes for a commercial because that's something I'm trying to get into. So if you are a new adjuster and you want to make a lot of connections and network with people, this is the event to come to. I'm going to get your name out there. We are teaching 13 CE accredited classes that range from flood to exactimate to auto and liability. And just generic estimating how to handle trees and water mitigation. The first one I took was the business of being a new adjuster. Very focused on setting up your business structure, knowing the language of what a new adjuster needs to know, and just some nuts and bolts that are so helpful as a new adjuster. I've gone through a lot of conventions and I always take advantage of the free class, please free learning. I'll take any free learning I can get. I've had several interviews I forget. It's been several, maybe eight or ten, and hoping to do that many or more tomorrow. I met with eight firms yesterday. Today is my long day. We're going to try and go for 12. So we're going to see if I can make it in my hills today. They're all 12 interviews. I've done nine interviews so far. Yeah. I took your advice. I watched that video you did on that. I've been on the floor all day. I have over 15 meet and greets already scowdwilled. Nacka did a great job on building the app and allowing that something that you could plan for. And I can't wait to do, I think I'm doing about seven a day. And then I'll fill in the gap with the remaining 15 or so. It's Aaron. Hi, Aaron. I like your shoes. They're pretty old school. Wait, wait, wait, wait, this guy, wait. Would you suggest it other people coming to Nacka? This is my first time. It's the first day from what I've seen. I would highly suggest it. It's the only place you're going to find this many people you can touch to make a difference in your life. 100% worth every dime. Get here. Never miss it. Come every year. Absolutely. I can tell you that I would not be here if I hadn't come last year. I would not have had a successful year if I did not come last year. I was just trying to chop down doors and it was not working. I was making money, but I was still painting houses. I was still doing my side gigs, doing what I had to do to get by. And by coming here and just putting myself out there and coming prepared with a resume that was prepared by notes from you and from Christanley and different sources. It worked. I've seen some mixed reviews. A lot of people on social media will say, you don't need to go and do that. But if you're a new adjuster and you don't know anybody, this is a great way to meet people and to find out about the firms, about what they do and what they offer. Ignore the costs. Do whatever it takes to get here. Because there's so many people that I met that I didn't know about before, especially as a new adjuster. I met with firms and meeting with people in person gives you a completely different scope and aspect of what the firm is about. And now I'm linked with people that I've never would have known before. Look, Matt Allen of Adjustor TV. Hi, Matt. I'm James from Adjustor TV and you are Matt with Adjustor TV. How's it going? And so, how long have you been in Adjustor, Matt? I was in Adjustor for 20 years. And so, is this your first time in an Aka? It is not. How many years have you been coming? I think this is first home in 2019. It's awesome. So what do you expect to get out of this week? So, I'm doing a lot of interviews. I got a guy waiting for me over there. So, would you suggest that people come to Aka? 100 percent. All right. So, every penny times three. That's a quick question. Yes, sir. Check your sandwiches. Check for leg or Popeyes? Check for leg. Coker Pepsi. Goat. Bloodlider Coors Leg. No. Water burger or... In and out. All right. Thank you, sir. See you. Using systems that genuinely I learned from Adjustor TV, I was third out of 70 for closed claims on my first storm. About that. It's a very interesting thing to me. Well, you know, sometimes having a system is very helpful. When you've been awake for 16 hours and you left your coffee and your phone on top of the car and pulled away from the gas station, you know, on those days, it's nice to have a folder. Yeah. When you're throwing your phone out the window because you can't find service anywhere, literally anywhere. You need a system. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people have asked me, boy, is Adjustor TV worth it? I'm like, hands down. Where else are you going to get something other than certification tests and answers, you know, like the real world stuff, like how do you work in this business and survive? From organization to practical, exact-mmet training, like it's there. So I'm like, you've got to sign up. Yeah, I do. I just did all the time. Fast Track to Deployment. I took the IAPAP course, liability course with Chris in Tunisia and they refer me to you. And I have no regrets. The Fast Track to Deployment course fully equipped me for the field. I went out in the field for the first time. Her came in and I crushed it. I actually sent you a text email showing you how good I did out in the field. I closed over 50 claims my first time in the field. Matt will take you from beginning to end, A to Z, from cradle to the grave. He showed you everything you need to be successful in the field. He'll show you how to do your schedule, which is so very important. That recon, all of that stuff? Oh yeah. It gives you insight into what you're going to be presented with when you get to that property. So it's been great, Matt. It is so nice to meet you in the flash. Yes! It worked. Yeah, this is where you find work. NACA 2023! You better get here next year. 2024, you need to be in the house. You will not regret it. Hey!
