Agents often want to use our book to guide their clients but are not sure how to start. Here is a great starting point.
Start by walking them through the book starting with Chapter 7 - Post Injury Response. Bring a blank piece of paper and write on the top, Post Injury Response Worksheet. Then, help them identify every step that occurs when an injury occurs. There is a sample in Chapter 7 which you'll read prior to the visit.
