Most business owners network where their competitors are, not where their referral partners are.
Your own trade group is for learning. Your partners' groups are where the work comes from. Everything below starts with one question. When something happens that makes people need public adjusters, who else gets a call that same week?
Public adjusters sell to both individuals and businesses, and most of the work starts when a named storm comes through. It moves fast, so being the name already in hand matters more than being the cheapest. Most clients buy once, so the flow of new names is the whole business.
- Storm damagewhen a named storm comes through
- Water damage / leakwhen a pipe bursts or a roof starts leaking
- Lawsuit or claimwhen somebody gets sued
- Compliance deadline or inspectionwhen an inspection or compliance deadline lands

Public adjuster association
Most public adjusters join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Public adjusters are in the claim before anyone writes the repair list. On storm and water damage, they decide who gets the work. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licences, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.
Public adjuster association →Let us be straight with you. For public adjusters, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
Is your seat open?
Prime Time takes one public adjuster per chapter. Put in a South Florida ZIP above and we will show you which seats are open.
