Field Services: Scam or Legitimate Opportunity ?

Bullets and Bandits

Posted on | September 8, 2007 | No Comments

I apologize for getting this post to you a little late. I like to post to the blog in the evenings after I have been out in the field for the day. There was some pretty bad weather yesterday and I was coming home by Interstate 10 and had no way of knowing I was approaching one of those chain-reaction accidents. It was a real mess. It took me four hours to travel what is normally done in about thirty minutes. I could not get home early enough yesterday to update the blog so I am doing it now – early on Saturday morning.

First things first. You know I spend a lot of time poking around the Internet for information that will help us in our field services business. I ran across a comment made by a field rep out west and his comment mentioned his fee for loss control inspections. I know there are a lot of variables that go into establishing fees, but his stated fee was twice what our fee is. I have e-mailed him and hope to get the chance to exchange some information with him.

While continuing my search to find more information on loss control inspections, I ran across a very nice, informative article published in an online magazine called “The Cooperator”. The magazine is intended for an audience of Co-op and condo operators.

The August 2007 issue of the magazine I found focuses on insurance. You may want to read the article I found and then read the rest of the magazine. I hope you gain a lot from it as I did.

Then, I would advise you to look around at the site itself. You may find a lot to keep you busy by looking at the “Directory” and the “Archives”. If you do not see what I see in those headings, then you need to e-mail me.

On to other things. Since I got in so late, I do not have the full story yet, but I was told that my daughter was followed by two men as she was leaving one of her inspections. They pulled up behind her as she arrived at her next inspection. They got out of the car. They got too close.

My daughter has known for years that an auto can be used as transportation. Her Dad taught her an auto can also be used for offense or defense. She’s OK. They’re probably still stunned. More on this later if warranted.

Even with all the problems encountered, I had a real nice day. A long day! A day which probably put me into negative cash flow but still a nice day.  Life is what you make it!
