Vince Perri has written a book for public adjusters. I bought the digital and hard copy edition of his Public Adjuster Handbook. The book is a basic discussion about a number of adjustment and business issues facing public adjusters. Vince Perri’s seminars often delve much deeper into the business aspects of public adjusting.
I thank Vince for asking me to appear on his show and taking the time to discuss some important topics within the property insurance industry.
