Question about insurance adjusters and how to get on vendor lists

[heavyfuel]

Alright so I'm expecting the very worst here, but I'm at my wits end with this and worst case I just disappear again no big deal. As some of you might know I sold my company and I'm doing something else now. That something else's most steady work usually comes from insurance companies. DOES ANYBODY have any insight they can offer as to how in the bluest of blue flying fucks a guy gets in with insurance companies? Every time I call around and ask I either get transferred to HR who have no clear answers, and I just keep hitting wall after wall after wall and it's been almost 4 months of this nonsense, I figured somebody on here must know some ins and outs about insurance companies. Thank you.

To be clear I'm looking to get on vendor lists and I have all the necessary licenses and formalities. Not looking for a traditional type job.

Hey Heavy! Are you talking like home/building insurance companies to be a vendor for disaster restoration/rebuilds and that kind of thing or what specifically? I don't have any relevant advice on it but thought adding a bit of clarity might help someone else who may.

I've been trying to break into insurance to do underwriting and it's been fucking impossible, even with connections. I know one guy who was trying to get out of claims, trying to transfer internally and still couldn't get a job, so he finally quit. I have no idea who the hell is getting hired

So you're looking to be a preferred vendor (like a body shop or roofing company) for the claims department of insurance companies?

[littledan]

You could start by attending/sponsoring golf events that the adjusters frequent. That would be a good in.

Do preferred vendors do kick backs to the insurance companies to be on the preferred vendors list? Part of doing business right?

I spoke to friend. She said you have to speak with the Property Manager of said building or Procurement in Insurance. They are the ones.
Being a small company does not cut it anymore though. Its rally hard to get in now as they go with Canada Contractors. So that might be a place to start. If you do get your foot in the door. They would want to see you are registered, bonded with WCB and see reviews. Thats all the insight she gave.

I just messaged a buddy of mine that is further up the chain. I'l PM you if he gets back to me.

Thanks for all the replies guys! It's got absolutely nothing to do with any sort of restoration/trades or anything of the sort. It's more along the lines of... being a nosy f*** lol, you know, watching the person with a back injury building a stone retaining wall in their yard, that sorta thing. I've been offered traditional jobs, but I didn't go through all this trouble for $21 an hour LOL given what clients pay in this industry.

You'll need a 348 like that other member has.
Or did Magnum drive a 308 and it was an F110 on that Vice City show?
What did Higgins drive?

Whatever - you'll need an older, red Ferrari of some sort.

Do insurance companies actually do this type of thing?

Probably big business with all the fakes getting money. Why wouldnt they try to recoup it back? I always see news reports shorts on Youtube in the USA when they go hunting for them

Yes I had a buddy that was on a WCB back injury claim for years. He was followed and photographed a few times.

It's really big business. I was offered a job by Xpera, buddy went on and on about how much volume of cases they get and how he could offer me 50+ hrs/week and how they were the McDonald's of private investigation, then when he said $21 an hour and the most senior guys maxing out at $35, I was like yeah, sounds like McDonalds alright. I managed to get my hands on recent reports and invoices from Xpera and $75/hr is what they charge. Like fuck if I'm gonna settle for $21/hr lol the guy I sold my company to offered me more to drive a truck for him.
