Hi Andrew. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice other than to keep doing what you are doing right now. It's slow for everyone right now, so patience is the answer.

Howdy Andrew,
I too am new to adjusting after having owned 3 bookstores here in the Houston, TX area for the past 10yrs. Now that most folks don't read much any more-other than internet and articles needed for their jobs, I had to close down last year and take up adjusting. It has been fun and I think that is the best advice I can offer you at this point in your new career-have fun/enjoy the learning experience/ and give it everything you can so when you do get deployed you have the training to do a better than ok job of it. There are still a few IA Firms having annual conferences-such as Crawford. Find them on line and sign up. Get XM8 training,be willing to spend some money on your education-since getting my lic last year, I've spent about $3,000 on classes, certifications, and various state licenses. Just remember "buyer beware". There are a ton of companies out there that offer training, but many are over priced, other just have poor instructors. I have make many new friends in this business and have heard so many horror stories about how they spent thousands of dollars with various companies promising them a job once they do that companies' training, then still haven't worked.......Read what the 'old timers' have to say both here at CATO & ClaimsMentor sites. Lots of insite you won't get without years of experience.Good luck.
