Restoration Estimating & Negotiation Course
The job is complete. The customer is happy. The estimate is delivered. THEN you get a call about negotiating the bill. You hear terms like "We don't pay for that" or "Your equipment usage is excessive" and what about "Let's meet in the middle."

Sound familiar?

This is when it hits you that your estimating and negotiation process could use a little work. What is a fair, accurate and profitable estimate and more importantly, how do I deliver it?

The Reets Drying Academy Estimating and Negotiating course answers that question! Our 8 step Estimate System will have you producing fair, accurate and profitable estimates that get PAID!

This is NOT an training course for Xactimate or any other estimating system. This is specifically a residential and light commercial mitigating estimating and negotiating course where Jeremy Reets and Nick Sharp share the Estimating Process that has been developed through 35 years of experience in the field!

Here are some of the things we will cover:

• Why the pre-inspection meeting is the most underutilized portion of the estimating process.

• How presenting options is always better than negotiation

• Justification of your estimate through notes, photos and documentation from the reference sources such as the S500 when necessary

• A S500 reference document that helps you associate this valuable document with services you have rendered

• A proven scoping process (we have used this for years)

• How to maximize Steps 1-7 of the Estimating Process so that Negotiation becomes a much smaller part of your jobs

• The 3 things you must know before you can go to the negotiation table

• Ask Jeremy and Nick the estimating questions you need answers to

Jeremy Reets has been in restoration for over 25 years. He has committed himself to making sure that his company gets paid a full and fair price for the services they render.

Nick Sharp is the lead estimator in the restoration company Jeremy runs. He prepares over 750 estimates a year and he is an expert at getting the details right so that those estimates get collected.

Jeremy and Nick are going to share not only tips and tricks, but a solid process that helps you get estimates paid every day!

We have/had a new gal doing it for the last couple of months. Steve, John & Rachel used to but with a "billing only" person it has sped up the process and allowed the guys to spend more time managing. If she leaves we plan to rehire the position.

Inside, she does not field work just pushes paper though so we can get paid.
