In this eight-part series, Carl Van, author of The 8 Characteristics of the Awesome Adjuster, shares his thoughts on those characteristics. The series is to serve as a sort of road map for those interested, at least at this stage, in knowing what it takes to be among the top in their field, the elite.
Awesome adjusters are the elite, the top 10 percent. Awesome adjusters come in all shapes and sizes, all colors and sexes, all educational and intellectual levels. As different as they are, however, they also have a great deal in common.
“There is very little difference between people, but that little difference can make a big difference,” said W. Clement Stone, founder of Combined Insurance Co. and author of Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude. “The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.”
