It is a pain in the ass when you aren’t a large company and aren’t cranking in insane amounts of revenue, but exercising creativity is a fun way to come up with solutions, and watching you business grow from it is satisfying.

I have a property inspection business, and this has been our busiest year since starting in 2016. We actually got busier during covid due to insureds writing amd rewriting policies left and right. This line of work is very niche and it’s not well known, hence why it’s difficult to find people to do it. Our industry is constantly growing and changing, and there is always something to learn. It is NON STOP… My phone is going off with calls, texts and emails 16 hours a day. It is insanely frustrating on most days because of all the people we have to deal with, but alas a great problem to have.
The hardest part has been finding solid people who want to put in the time to generate their own business… We use subcontractors and provide them the leads to schedule inspections with insureds. So the issue isn’t the lack of clients. It’s lack of good resources and proper systems in place to ensure a smooth and automated operation. And, of course, establishing trust with said subcontractors.
Insurance loss control inspections.
Word of mouth. Simple. I got very lucky.
