Day 1: Classroom Training 

• Four Factors of Successful Contents Division

• Personnel - Defining the roles of the Contents Manager and Team Members

• Facility - Design Basics

• Equipment & Supplies

• Systems - Job Planning, Job Set Up, Inventory, Packing, Transporting, Storage & More  

• Job Planning System - 50-point checklist and DOZENS of working documents - put your logo on them, change a few words and save hundreds in legal fees by using Barb’s documents.



Day 2: Classroom & Hands-On Packing - Plus Pre-Estimating!

• Digital Photo Inventory System - with labels, working documents & forms. The basis for any inventory process – it’s simple, it’s time tested, any beginning tech can use it and best of all it was created in the field on real assignments…it works even when more fancy systems break down.

• Mobilizing supplies, setting up staging & holding areas. Even the big companies often get this one wrong and it costs them in time, materials and labor – this one insider’s secret may be worth the entire tuition fee.

• Determining best sorting & cleaning methods

• Packing Techniques - for efficiency & profitability 

• Setting up pack out stations – tips from over 30 years on the frontlines – when time is money, you can take these to the bank.

• Packing of boxed items & wrapping of furniture – 

• Transporting & storage

• Basics of Smoke Damage - Identifying types of soot & determining proper cleaning techniques

• Pre-Estimating basics - So simple; you create it during the “walk-through” and so accurate it is virtually challenge proof! Why you should never offer an invoice at the end of the job (never play “Let’s make a deal” with the adjuster). Write your pre-estimate/scope of work after the walk through and submit it so the adjuster can set the reserve and you can start collecting money.
