💸 Photos Can Mean $$$ in Your Estimate! 💸

Did you know that photos can make a huge difference in getting paid out on your estimate? Today, I’m sharing 5 tips to help you take better photos, get them into Xactimate the right way, and ensure you’re getting paid faster.

Let’s talk orientation. Most people snap pics in portrait mode (like this 📲) because we’re used to taking photos of people that way. But here’s the trick: turn your device sideways into landscape mode! 📸

Why? Landscape photos are larger and clearer in Xactimate, filling up more space on the page and looking more professional. It’s a small change that can make a big difference in your payout.

Why Get Certified In Xactimate

Join Alena Wilson from Estimate Mastery LIVE Tuesday June 3rd at 4:30 CST/ 5:30 EST as she will be talking all about why you should get Certified in Xactimate. One of our FAQ’s here at Estimate Mastery is…do I need to be Certified to use Xactimate?
The answer is NO, for day to day estimating and getting around in the software, you don’t need any sort of certification to be able to write estimates in the software.
BUT, getting Certified is useful as leverage to getting line items paid.
We’ve had many, many contractors report back that when they added their Certification credentials to their email signature and few other key places like their company header, they were able to use the fact that they had been Certified to move their estimate “up the food chain” inside the insurance company and talk with someone who holds the same level of Cert. This is a Live you don’t want to miss!
