    <![CDATA[<p>If you’re a restoration contractor in Florida and you’re not paying attention to industry advocacy, you may be leaving your business exposed.</p>

<p>In this episode of The Restoration Rundown, I sit down with Richie Kidwell to break down the role of the Restoration Association of Florida (RAF) and why it matters more than most contractors realize.</p>

<p>We cover who Richie is, how he got involved in advocating for restoration companies, and what RAF is actually doing behind the scenes to protect contractors and influence the future of the industry.</p>

<p>🎯 In This Episode We Cover:</p>

<p>• What the Restoration Association of Florida actually does</p>

<p>• Why organizations like RAF exist in the first place</p>

<p>• How legislation and policy decisions impact restoration businesses</p>

<p>• Why staying uninvolved can put your business at risk</p>

<p>• How to get involved and stay informed</p>

<p>📱 See How Live Video Can Help You Win More Jobs</p>

<p>Check out LiveSwitch and see how restoration contractors are using live video to connect with property owners and “see the damage” in real time:</p>

<p>Guest: Richie Kidwell</p>

<p>If you’re a Florida restoration contractor and not currently involved with RAF, this is something worth taking a closer look at.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p><b>Are restoration contractors unintentionally training the AI systems that could eventually challenge their estimates?</b></p>

<p>That’s the question we explore in this episode of <i>The Restoration Rundown</i>.</p>

<p>A year ago, <b>Doug Weatherman</b> wrote an article in <b>C&amp;R Magazine</b> titled <b>“We Have a Big Problem,”</b> raising concerns about how artificial intelligence could influence the restoration claims process.</p>

<p>Shortly after that article was published, Doug joined me on <i>The Restoration Rundown</i> for an episode called <b>“AI and the Future of Restoration.”</b></p>

<p>Now, a year later — after massive advances in AI — we’re revisiting that conversation.</p>

<p>In this episode we discuss:</p>

<p>• How AI may already be influencing insurance claims</p>

<p>• Whether contractors could be unintentionally training AI systems</p>

<p>• The growing value of restoration industry data</p>

<p>• What AI could mean for negotiations with carriers</p>

<p>• How restoration owners should approach AI moving forward</p>

    <![CDATA[<p>In this episode of The Restoration Rundown, we’re joined by two of the most influential voices in the restoration industry: Brandon Reece and Chris Nordyke, co-founders of Floodlight Consulting Group, hosts of the Head, Heart &amp; Boots podcast, and key leaders inside FP Restoration.</p>

<p>We dive into "The Floodlight Framework"—a foundation built on leadership, culture, systems, identity, and long-term strategy. Together, we break down the exact ingredients needed to build a legacy restoration company: the kind that isn’t just profitable today, but is structured to outlast seasons, trends, and owner burnout.</p>

<p>You’ll hear insights on:</p>

<ul><li>What a true legacy restoration business actually looks like</li><li>The transition from consulting to leadership roles inside FP Restoration</li><li>Cultural mistakes that keep companies stuck</li><li>The systems every restoration company must master</li><li>Why owner identity and emotional maturity matter more than you think</li><li>The real work leaders must do to build something that lasts</li></ul>

<p>If you’re leading a restoration company and want to build a business that works today and stands the test of tomorrow, this is a must-listen conversation.</p>

    <![CDATA[<p>Many of us get into our businesses with the intention of putting in our all and working hard day in and day out- but what about when the time comes for you to kick back and retire? We often hear that people plan to pass down their businesses to loved ones- and while we absolutely love the sentiment there, it often ends up being a bit disastrous or stressful, and causes Restoration Experts to keep working.... and working... and WORKING.......</p>

Think about PPC as the grocery store for leads you can visit until your garden is sustaining your company. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>I was recently a guest speaker at the Experience Conference in Fort Lauderdale Florida where I was able to educate Restoration and Cleaning Business owners on everything they should be doing in 2023 to get leads online. This presentation was put together using our very own case studies on what we do at my agency, Ironclad Restoration Marketing, to get our clients more leads via websites, SEO, PPC and social media. The 2023 No B.S. Internet Marketing Plan is based off my book The No BS Guide to Internet Marketing and is jam packed with everything you need to get more leads NOW.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>When it comes to running a Restoration Business few things are more important than sales. But a crucial element that is oftentimes missed with a lot of business owners is fully understanding WHO it is you are selling to in order to properly craft your messaging and approach to offer solutions to your target client's problems. The interruptive "candy and smile" type of marketing of the past just won't cut it. In this episode I am joined by past guests Chris Nordyke and Brandon Reese of the Floodlight Group and The Head Hearts and Boots Podcast to discuss solutions based sales tactics and how they altered their sales approach in their Restoration Business to a solutions based style and how they help Restoration Business owners rethink their approach to sales and marketing. Buckle up because this is a loaded episode!</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>If you haven't heard, the FTC laid the smack down on HomeAdvisor and Angie's List for misleading contractors. I hate to sound like a broken record but we can't stress how important it is to have an omnichannel approach when it comes to marketing your restoration business.</p>

<p>So what they were doing is their sales team was calling and they were using prerecorded phone calls to show and make it look like every single lead that they send to everybody is amazing and they're going to make millions of dollars. Just give us your money, give us your money, give us your money! And we all know that that's not the case. </p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>If you listened to any of our videos, you follow along on our podcasts, we're telling you that you're paying for non-exclusive leads. So you and your competitor in the same service area - one guy spending five grand a month, one guy spent a $1,000 a month, who do you think is going to get the better leads? </p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>Not only that, but they are taking advantage of the misinformation that's out there with these lead gen services like 33 Mile, like Angie's List, like Yelp, like HomeAdvisors, right now HomeAdvisors and Angie's list are in hot water from the FTC for doing this misleading, sales practices. So,  if you have been following along with us, we've always preached that you need to take an omni-channel approach, meaning don't rely on just one place to get leads for your business. You need to take that omni-channel approach and be as present as you can in as many areas that you can afford to be at.</p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>And what better way to do that than do them yourself. Get more sales from the internet by just getting your internet marketing right. Got to make sure you have a website and make sure you're managing your Google business profile. Getting reviews, obviously performing good work to get that referral and word of mouth and repeat work, you should be doing some pay-per-click if you can afford it, and SEO is the king. </p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>Take over page one of Google and you're spreading a very wide net. And if those leads don't come in use Google's Pay-Per-Click service program to get leads right now. And be very careful with Angie's list, Yelp, HomeAdvisors because remember you're paying for non-exclusive leads and it is a service that could go away any day, no different than referrals, right? </p>

<p>So you have a home inspector or a property manager or a real estate agent that's feeding you work all the time. Well, what happens if they move or they pass away? That's going to go away just like Google maps went down last week. So you don't want to have put all your eggs into any one basket at all, but more so you gotta be careful for these companies that are selling you a magic pill that is going to solve all your problems and get you a bunch of leads because they will start to fall.</p>

<p>The Domino's have already started the fall with the FTC charging HomeAdvisor and Angie's list with misleading contractors by just doing that. And they're the same as these predatory companies or these digital marketing agencies that try to sell you on a one size fits all out the box fit. And it doesn't work that way. </p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>The only way you're going to get a consistent lead flow online is by doing the work, just like losing weight. You don't always want to be paying tons of money a month to get leads in that you have to sift through all this crap and worry about how much money your competitor is spending.</p>

<p>Your best bet is to build your own farm, build your own website, get your own authority on Google, do SEO, Pay-Per-Click, Google Business, start making relationships with people that make sense in a verticals for you to get leads just like you probably already know. And be very careful when you're dealing with somebody that's doing these hard sells on anything like that. Right? So if you want to maximize your lead flow online, you do things the right way. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Oftentimes when a Restoration Business Owner's digital marketing efforts aren't producing calls the answer is usually the same, fire their SEO agency or try and increase the web visitor traffic. The problem with that is in most cases the agency or your in house team IS sending qualified traffic to your website, its just not converting into calls. In this episode I talk about the importance of increasing your website conversion percentage and how it can drastically increase phone calls and revenue. </p>]]>
