What a new independent adjuster makes will vary according to the type of claims handled, the amount of loss involved, and how many claims they are able to get turned in. But it's not unreasonable to expect to make 8 to 10 thousand dollars a month before expenses when you're working.
There are no guarantees of course.
Independent adjusters differ from staff adjusters in that they are not on a steady salary. That means that it is not as stable as working as a staff adjuster, but it also means that you have the opportunity to make a lot more than a staff adjuster.
Personally, I prefer trading a little bit of security for big opportunities.
People who express interest in getting into this field are sometimes steered away by working independent adjusters. You have to wonder what their motives are for steering you away from something they have been doing themselves for such a long time.
In my mind, there is plenty of room in this field for newbies who are committed to learning how to do it right, and are willing to work hard and constantly improve.
There are many honest hardworking people out there who are just looking for the chance to continue working hard in a field that will pay them a lot better than the field they are working in now.
These are the kind of people I invite to learn exactly what to do to get into this wonderful business.
Now let me caution you. You don't get into this business overnight. There are important things you need to do to prepare. And there are essential things you must do while you are preparing.
There are no overnight successes in this business - it's not a lottery, and it's not easy...you actually have to get off your butt and sweat. But there are so many successes in this business, I wouldn't even know where to begin to start telling you about them. And if you are willing to put some elbow grease into learning how to do this job right, start reaping the BIG benefits and change your life into what you want it to be...I'm willing to bet that you can do it. And I can help you to.
