I really like the 80s. From the flicks and music to meals and the simplicity of life. Using bikes till late at evening. Enjoying within the streets with pals. It was an incredible time to be alive!
The 80s have been the primary for a lot of issues! We skilled a change in know-how. At-home gaming techniques, and the beginning of cable TV. Saturday morning cartoons have been a staple in lots of properties.
Due to a change in regulation by President Regan, firms have been allowed, for the primary time ever, to promote on to youngsters.
The colours and types of these commercials nonetheless captivate us at present.
Huge Companies spent tens of millions on model wars.
Ah sure…. The model wars.
Keep in mind…
- Nike vs. Reebok?
- Nintendo vs. Sega?
- McDonalds vs. Burger King?
- Pizza Hut vs. Dominos?
- What in regards to the greatest of all of them: Coke vs. Pepsi? (Coke continues to be higher EVERYTIME)!
Coke vs. Pepsi was dubbed “the Cola Wars”. Every model spent tens of millions on completely different types of promoting to ascertain what model was superior. Hundreds of commercials have been produced by advertisers worldwide. Printed advertisements and video games providing free gadgets to win helped the “Cola Wars” attain their peak within the 80s. When it was all mentioned and carried out, Coke was dubbed the winner.
But the controversy continues to be removed from over. Ask anybody at present what they like higher. Everybody nonetheless has their favourite and it’s fast to level out why their model is so superior to the opposite.
So, does that imply that Coke is the higher alternative over Pepsi? It actually comes down to every individual’s personal opinion.
On the planet of restoration, we’ve got our personal debate happening. It’s usually one of many first questions I get requested about our restoration firm.
“Does your organization work with TPAs?”
“What’s your opinion on TPAs?”
As if we’re to be judged if we work with TPA’s or not.
Just like the Coke vs. Pepsi debate, this has turn out to be a hill that many will die on. For many that is one or the opposite, and there’s no in-between.
Sadly, a number of corporations are judged and ridiculed for selecting to work with TPAs, as if it’s a foul factor.
With a lot stigma and misinformation across the subject, I believe it’s time to have a stable take a look at the advantages of working with TPA’s vs. not doing TPA work.
Let’s take a look at the advantages of a TPA.
A TPA is a “Third Get together Administrator”. They oversee the restoration course of for the insurance coverage firm usually controlling the restoration course of.
A contract with a TPA can present the next:

All the advantages don’t sound dangerous in any respect! Nonetheless, TPA’s are identified for a number of drawbacks that may make a variety of corporations suppose twice about working for one.
Let’s take a look at the drawbacks of working for a TPA:
- Strict tips to be authorized to affix a community. This will result in delays and frustrations through the period of the appliance course of.

In the long run, the Cola Wars have been by no means nearly soda—they have been about loyalty, notion and private desire. The identical holds true within the restoration trade’s ongoing debate over TPAs. Simply as some individuals won’t ever surrender their Pepsi, others will all the time swear by Coke. However whether or not you select to work with TPAs or avoid them, the true query isn’t who’s proper, it’s what’s proper on your firm, your tradition and your shoppers.
Just like the 80s taught us, daring selections and powerful identities win hearts and minds. So, plant your flag, know your causes and keep in mind—success isn’t about selecting sides, it’s about understanding the place you stand and delivering with excellence.
