Brett Forrester

Contractor
McKinleyville,CA

Summary

In 2014 I was originally hired on for door to door sales. A hail storm or hurricane would damage buildings in a town or general area of the state and my job was to contact property owners and work with them to document the damages and file an insurance claim. During the insurance process, my job was to consult with the property owner and the insurance company to make sure every line item was paid for in the claim. When the property owner would receive their check, we would negotiate to finalize the deal, order materials, manage the project, and collect the final payment.

By my second season, I was promoted to sales manager and was in charge of training new hires and supplementing their claims. After my third season, I took more of a remote approach to the business and pursued multiple other career paths but was still involved in daily operations. After three years of selling remotely and working out of state, I returned back to Texas to work for CG Services full time.
