You don't want to miss this.

One of the worst things to happen to a new independent adjuster or appraiser is to be blacklisted.

This is where one or more IA Firms or an insurance company list that an individual should not be given any work... period.

If the new person truly offends them they may share with other firms their dislike for the individual and it affects you potentially throughout the industry!

This list is also known as the DO NOT CALL list and several other names.

I've seen this happen to people for only a few simple reasons...

I'm sure you don't want it to happen to you, so I'm going to share how you can avoid this dreadful fate that can stop your career from ever truly taking off.

First off, note that if a specific carrier "blacklists" you it doesn't mean your career is over.

This simply means you can't work for that specific carrier. I've had people in a panic that they were blacklisted or put on the do not call list for a large carrier worried they'd never be able to work again... but this isn't the case.

There are other insurance carriers and plenty of IA Firms you could work for.

Onto the list.
