The Commercial Property Inspectors Roundtable Meeting is a monthly Zoom hosted by CCPIA® for inspectors across the nation to talk about business and professional development.

The CCPIA Roundtable meeting focused on strategies for business success and win-loss analysis in commercial property inspections. Rob led a discussion about tracking client interactions and implementing structured proposals. He shared his experience of achieving an 80% booking rate through careful client engagement. Another inspector echoed this sentiment, noting that he increased his success rate by adopting CCPIA's recommended sales process, which improved both client interactions and confidence through better proposal templates.

The conversation concluded with Rob announcing upcoming courses, including an Introduction to Commercial Systems course and a Cost to Remedy course scheduled for March. He also addressed technical questions regarding different roof types and HVAC systems.

In this episode, host Rob Claus welcomes Bethany Messier from CoStar Group, the world leader in commercial real estate data and analytics. CoStar is widely recognized for having the most comprehensive database of CRE information across the U.S. and Canada and is the parent company of LoopNet, Homes.com, Apartments.com, Land.com, and Matterport.

CoStar’s tools are widely used by commercial property inspectors for property research, proposal development, and pre-inspection preparation. Their data helps inspectors understand a property’s history, ownership, tenancy, and market context. This supports ROI-driven business development and leads to better proposals and preparation before arriving on-site.

In this episode, Bethany and Rob discuss how CoStar’s platform supports business development for inspectors, including targeting the right clients, identifying opportunities, and building a sustainable pipeline of commercial property inspection work.

They also highlight CCPIA’s exclusive partnership with CoStar, which gives CCPIA members customized onboarding and support to help grow their inspection business. Visit CCPIA.org to learn more about the partnership.
