Picture this.
You just completed your last claim from a 6 week flood deployment. You've worked hard. You plop down on the couch to take a much needed break.
You've closed 50+ claims and are enjoying the payouts of well over $100k that have been trickling in and will continue for months.
All without having to set foot on 1 roof.
You're glad you listened to your colleagues who told you there was serious money to be made in flood.
You're also glad you ignored them when they said all you had to do was take a 1-Day class to become a flood adjuster.
They've worked harder than you but closed less claims, made less money, and their phone continues to blow up with demands/questions from IA's and policyholders.
They're so frustrated, that they are thinking they will never accept another flood deployment or set of flood claims...
...ever.
You're glad you took more than the basic 1-Day class and enrolled in the online NFIP Flood Boot Camp.
You heard about how the Boot Camp would teach you how to secure more claims, get organized, and provide you with the tools to close claims faster.
The phone rings.
Could it be an IA firm with demands? or an angry policyholder with a problem?
Nope, it's just the pizza guy confirming your address.
The education you gain from the NFIP Flood Boot Camp will be tastier than pizza and will pay dividends of more money for less time working...for the rest of your career.

“It was worth every single dime I spent...If someone was to tell me that they can't afford to take the class,
my response to them would be you can’t afford not to take this class.”
Mark K.
“Well worth the investment, and if I would’ve known what I know now,
I would’ve paid more than this to come.”
