Your independent adjuster pay is determined greatly by two factors, the price that you charge and the loyalty that you earn. If you’ve ever felt like you are getting paid too little as an independent auto damage appraiser or adjuster, this episode is FOR YOU!

When you are first starting out it can make perfect sense to charge less, take lower-paying deployments or claims, just so you can get an opportunity to prove yourself. The hard part becomes raising your price to where you are no longer a bargain and pursuing higher paying opportunities and firms.

For daily auto claims many IA’s get start handling claims with great companies that give them wonderful opportunities, but they soon find out if they can’t raise their prices, they’ll not be able to sustain the volume required to earn their income year-round.

This is the point where being able to raise your prices is critical, but how do you do that? When is the right timing to increase your rates? When do you know if you should raise your rates and how do you know you won’t sabotage your own income by changing them?
