Wondering what a Total Contentz workshop actually looks like? Here you go. 👀

There’s classroom training where Barb and Tim break down the why behind the process, plenty of conversation and questions, and then hands-on time where you actually get to put what you’ve learned into practice.

It’s a mix of learning, doing, sharing experiences and talking through the real situations restoration teams run into every day. And with 30+ years in contents restoration, Barb and Tim have plenty of those situations to pull from.

We’re getting ready to do it all again in Anaheim, September 16–17 for our Profitable Packout Workshop.

If you’ve been wondering what it’s like to train with Total Contentz, the clips pretty much say it all.

Barb, Tim and the most important member of the Total Contentz road crew, Sadie, are officially on the road. 🚙🐾

Next major stop: Las Vegas for The Experience!

If you’re there September 9–11, make sure you come find us at Booth 828. Stop by, say hi, talk contents with Barb and Tim, and see what we’ve been working on.

We’ll be sharing plenty from the road and keeping you updated on all the good stuff happening at The Experience along the way.

Sadie, meanwhile, is already exhausted from her responsibilities. 😂

Yesterday’s storms caused a lot of damage throughout the Pittsburgh area. Flooded basements, downed trees, power outages and damage to homes, and we know plenty of people are waking up today trying to figure out where to even start.

So rather than our usual post, we thought we’d share a few things that may help.

First and foremost, make sure your home is safe before worrying about your belongings. Water, electricity, fallen trees and structural damage can create hazards that aren’t always obvious.

Once you know it’s safe, document everything. Take photos and video before you start moving things around or cleaning up. If belongings are wet or damaged, don’t assume they automatically need to go in the trash. Depending on what they’re made of and how they were affected, there may be options for cleaning and restoration.

And keep a running record of what happened, what was damaged, who you’ve talked to and any emergency expenses along the way. When you’re dealing with a lot at once, it’s surprisingly easy to lose track.

For everyone in Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities dealing with cleanup today, we hope everyone is safe and getting the help they need.

Save this one or send it to someone who was affected by the storms.

The ContentzPRO Membership just got a whole lot better. 🎓

We’ve been listening to what contents teams actually need — and we rebuilt the membership around that.

Here’s what’s new:
When you join, your enrollment now includes CPO and DPI virtual training for one team member. That means 14 IICRC CE credits and a Certificate of Completion — included. Not an add-on. Not a discount. INCLUDED!

And if you want to get more of your team accredited? Members get each additional employee trained at $295/person — compared to $995 retail. The more people you train, the more you save.

On top of that, your membership still gives you everything you’ve come to expect — bi-weekly ContentzTIPZ, a growing resource library of real-world forms and templates, a private community of contents professionals, and 20% off estimate writing and reviews.

Every month your membership grows. We drop new resources into the library, share exclusive partner and vendor discounts, and send ContentzTIPZ to your inbox twice a month — practical, field-ready tips your team can use immediately. And when you join, five ContentzTIPZ are waiting for you in your resource library from day one.

This is the system Barb wishes existed when she started 30 years ago. Now it does — and it’s better than ever.

$795 enrollment + $87/month.

Barb and Tim are getting ready to hit the road later this week, and this one is going to be quite the trip. 🚐

We’re heading across the country with a pretty full itinerary. We’ll be stopping in to visit some clients along the way, talking about plans for 2027 already (somehow), and making a couple of big stops:

📍 The Experience | Las Vegas
September 9–11
Come find us at Booth 828. If you’re going to be there, please stop by and say hi. We’d love to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones.

📍 Profitable Packout Workshop | Anaheim
September 16–17
We’ll wrap up the trip in California with two full days of contents training. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, consider this your reminder to get registered.

And since we’re already driving halfway across the country, we might as well make the most of it. 😂 If you’re along our route and would like Barb and Tim to stop by for an in-person visit, send us a message and we’ll see if we can get you added to the itinerary.

See you on the road!

Barb & Tim are hitting the road! 🚗✈️

First stop: The Experience in Las Vegas, September 9–11. If you’re going to be there, come find Total Contentz at Booth #828.

We’ll have plenty of information, some good swag, and, more importantly, Barb and Tim will be there doing what they love most: talking shop with other people in the restoration industry.

And if you’ve got a specific contents challenge you’ve been trying to figure out, we’re doing something a little different this year. Sign up at our booth for 15 Minutes with Barb, a quick one-on-one consultation where you get her undivided attention to talk through a question, problem or idea. No presentation. No sales pitch. Just 15 minutes to pick Barb’s brain.

Don’t need a consultation? Stop by and say hi anyway. We’d love to see you.

And Vegas is only the beginning. Barb and Tim will be making a few client stops along the way before heading to Anaheim for our next Coast-to-Coast ContentzPRO Workshop September 16–17.

It’s going to be a busy couple of weeks, but we’re excited to get out there and see everyone.

Who’s going to be in Vegas? Drop us a comment so we know who to look for.

Here’s the part of contents work nobody likes to talk about: the walkthrough goes great, the pack-out’s done—and then something breaks. A missed piece. A homeowner who’s suddenly lost confidence in you. What you do in that moment decides whether you keep the relationship or lose it for good.

I’m speaking at the Contents Bootcamp on Thursday, July 16. My session: “When Something Goes Wrong: Recovering the Job and the Relationship.”

I’ll get into what actually happens after something goes wrong—the systems that decide whether you recover or lose the client, the conversation you have to have and why how you handle the worst part of the job is what people remember.

It’s live, 12–3pm Eastern, and it’s worth 3 IICRC CE credits.

If you’ve ever had a job go sideways—and we all have—come hang out. Register here: https://www.getencircle.com/resource/2026-contents-bootcamp/
