In this eight-part series, Carl Van shares his thoughts on the characteristics of the awesome adjuster. The series is to serve as a sort of road map for those interested in knowing what it takes to be among the top in their field.
Of all the characteristics that I have mentioned so far is this series, this is the most easily attained, and the most often ignored, by claim adjusters. Do not confuse the desire for excellence with being a perfectionist. People who simply cannot live unless everything is absolutely perfect can get frustrated in the claim world.
Awesome adjusters do not want everything to be perfect, but they do feel that doing a great job is more pleasing than doing a mediocre job. To be productive and valuable, one must see one's responsibilities, whatever they are, as important and worth doing well.
