The DYOJO Way Xactimate Help
Developing the right mindset and habits for success estimating insurance claims with resources such as Xactimate. 
​
  • The DYOJO is The Do Your Own Job Dojo. In The DYOJO we train our mindset and habits for success in the fight for estimating insurance claims with resources such as Xactimate.
  • The DYOJO specializes in helping property restoration owners to shorten their DANG learning curve for estimating mindset and developing project management habits.  ​​

Are you an intentional Xactimate estimator and you want to shorten your DANG learning curve for the next steps in estimating insurance claims with resources such as Xactimate? 

The DYOJO Way teaches us that to be Intentional Restorers, we need to develop the Three R's of estimating insurance claims with resources such as Xactimate:
  • Learn from Rejection
  • Learn from Repetition
  • Learn from Relationships ​

If we rate our insurance claims relationships on a scale of niceness, perhaps we can compare this feature to the familiar story of Goldilocks the Adjuster and the Three Estimator Bears:
  • Pushover Bear 
  • Pragmatist Bear 
  • Pertinacious Bear 

We go into greater detail on developing the mindset and habits to succeed with insurance claim estimating and project management in my book, Be Intentional: Estimating which is available in Kindle and paperback. Pay attention to those small things that either enhance or undermine your effort to intentionally develop a thriving culture.

PODCAST
If you want to develop your mindset and habits to excel with estimating insurance claims with resources such as Xactimate, The DYOJO Way will help you achieve your goals:
  • Whatever you do, do it intentionally. 
  • Structure your estimates so that you don't miss key details.
  • Write your scope of work in a manner that can be readily transferred and communicated into an actionable production plan.  
  • Before you can expect anyone else to be accountable to the vision and values, you must lead by example. ​
  • Documentation is key. In property restoration we don't get paid for what we do but for what we document. We discuss ways to help your team to develop the mindset and skills to excel in my book, Be Intentional: Estimating.
