HAIL PARTNERS

Hypothetical Scenario

You’ve been running a route around the home for 8 years and have a comfortable, steady flow of business. You might even have 3-4 other technicians working locally under your company name. Everything seems great and your accounts have been good to you for years. Your company is servicing 10 dealerships and 14 body shops. You wake up one morning and go on Facebook and read everyone on Dent World complaining about percentages, brokers, insurance companies and the number of dent guys in our industry.

Then you read a post that states it is going to hail in your town. You go to Storm Prediction Center and see your city is hatched with a 30% chance of hail. Your blood gets pumping and you start telling your guys to do their naked hail dance. At 4 PM, the dance pays off and you get the storm of the lifetime. Six of your dealerships get hit and 10 of your body shops are going to be rocking. Are you ready for the reality check?

REALITY CHECK

There are very few companies that can handle this amount of increase in business. No one can handle this without a plan. Every hail chaser has probably had their eye on your city 3-5 days before it happened. By the next morning, your town will have $60,000 trucking driving around trying to steal every account they can. Dent Wizard, Dent Concepts and Hi-Tech will be calling their insurance contacts to put pressure on your body shop owners to use these selected companies that they have backdoor deals with. As you drive to your accounts, you notice that these companies already have technicians in your accounts. The owner will say State Farm is making me use Dent Wizard and USAA wants us to use Hi-Tech. You soon will figure out that three PDR companies are now working in your best body shop, but you get to fix all Progressive vehicles until Qwikway calls their insurance contacts. Then you realize you don’t even have time to stop at the dealerships you service. You decide to let other hail chasers have those accounts because the manager has seen 17 companies by noon. As you see, you are losing this battle. Most managers and owners panic and hire other companies after wondering if the small guy can service them. Every time you turn around, you are losing potential income because you didn’t have a contingency plan.
