In this episode of the GPS Podcast, we sit down with Violand Business Advisors Josh Bachman and Bill Prosch to discuss one of the biggest frustrations in the restoration industry: getting paid on insurance work.

The conversation explores why collections really begin before the job starts, how contracts and communication impact payment, and what you can do to reduce delays, pushback, and unexpected payment reductions. Josh and Bill share practical insights on working with adjusters, setting expectations early, and building systems that improve cash flow without damaging relationships.

Connect with Violand to start a conversation about improving your processes, systems, and cash flow.
