Module 5, Lesson 2

Transferring Your Billing Knowledge

The Training Mindset

Training isn't a one-time event—it's an ongoing process.

Phase 1: Observation

Phase 1

Shadow and Learn

Before anyone touches the process, they observe you. Shadow on several jobs from documentation through payment.

Key: Explain your thinking out loud. Why did you take that photo? Why that wording?

Phase 2: Assisted Practice

Phase 2

Direct Supervision

Let the trainee handle tasks while you watch and guide. Start with lower-risk tasks.

Phases 3 & 4: Building Independence

Phase 3: Independent + Review

Trainee handles tasks alone, but you review before work goes out. Checklists and standards guide the work.

Phase 4: Spot Checks

Once quality is consistent, move to random audits. Review every third submission or randomly select jobs.

What to Train

Documentation

Completeness, accuracy. Use checklists. Review actual photos.

Estimates

Line item selection. Xactimate categories. Start with straightforward jobs.

Submissions

Formatting, attachments, professional tone. Review emails and provide feedback.

Follow-Up

Timing, persistence. Role play phone calls. Review communications.

Tips for Effective Training

When Delegation Fails

If trained people make mistakes, ask why.

Usually, mistakes point to system gaps, not people gaps.

Your Homework

Identify one billing task you handle yourself that could be delegated.
