Like many of you, I own my own business. Like most business owners I have to know how to do a lot of different things that are outside of my core competency. There are a lot of things I’ve learned how to do just by having to do them over and over in order to keep my business going. Repetition helps me acquire competency (unless I’m doing it wrong, in which case repetition induces incompetency), so I become proficient at most aspects of my business.
The problem is when I’m faced with situations that are a one-time event. If I’m only going to be doing something one time I usually have neither the opportunity nor the motivation to seek competency… let alone mastery. I have a choice at that point; (1) try not to screw up whatever it is I need to do this one time, or (2) hire someone who is competent at this one-time task. Most of us business owners will default to choice number one.
That’s why articles like the one I’ve posted here are so useful. There is just enough information here to keep you from screwing up TOO badly because this article doesn’t overwhelm you with a data dump in order to try to coach you to mastery of insurance claims. If you follow these seven useful tips your insurance claim won’t be a second catastrophe on top of the first.
However, if you sense that your claim ISN’T going well then stop what you’re doing and call CDR. If we can’t help you, we’ll put you in touch with someone who WILL.
