That was a good clip. It may be a good idea to interview people here who have gone through this type of ordeal in order to gain new insights. I already have a couple leads, I'll keep you posted.
I don't have any personal stories to share either - I guess that's a good thing to some extent - none of Bastion Home & Business Services' clients have been in a position to NEED to use their home inventories - that's really where you want to be!
We did come across this news clip that aired on KKTV's Call for Action in December 2008. Here is a snippet from the February issue of The Inventory Standard's "Industry News" column. Follow the link to watch the video.
Thanks, Joe -----------------
KKTVs Call for Action Alert (Colorado Springs) in late December covered the importance of having a home inventory.Homeowners who have experienced a loss (one who had a home inventory!) were interviewed by the reporter.Check out the news clip.
I may have asked too specific questions here. I didn't create much of a dialogue. What I really needed was any real life experiences from any and all on the topics of both dealing with the insurance industry and dealing with customers who have gone through a tragic situation. Does anyone have any stories good or bad?
I just wanted to say these are great questions! I am still working on my marketing and business plan and this kind of info woud be very helpful to include. Since I am still going live I can't help you, but I sure will look forward to any answers posted from the veteran/working members.
Hi all, I would like some feed back from members regarding any real life experiences you have had.I would like to know two things.
First, has anyone had clients who had to make an insurance claim because their home completely burnt down or had a theft where they lost everything?How did the claim process turn out for them?Was the process smoother and quicker because they had a professional inventory completed?Did they recover 100% of the items inventoried because of their inventory?I am looking for numbers to back up claims such as reduce the time your insurance claim will take to be processed up to 50% because you had a professional inventory performed or recover 80% more of your possessions because you will have video documentation of many of the items typically forgotten when filing an insurance claim from memory.
Second, how many members have completed home inventories and discovered, because of the inventory performed, their clients were underinsured?Does anyone have percentages of both how many clients were underinsured compared to properly insured and buy how much on average?
Any and all ideas on this subject is greatly appreciated.
