The prevention pivot: the big players are selling readiness, not response
In the same week: FirstService Residential launched Resilience First (helping communities prepare for water/fire/storm losses), Quick Response launched Response Plus (proactive preparedness for property and facility leaders), and the trade press ran "stop chasing storms, turn downtime into recurring revenue."
FORRecurring preparedness revenue smooths the feast-or-famine cycle and puts you in the building before the loss, build it now.
AGAINSTPreparedness programs are a hedge the big platforms can fund and you can't, and selling prevention means selling against your own emergency margins.
Consensus vs. contrarianContrarian and important: pair this with the smart-water story and the picture is unmistakable, the industry's biggest players are quietly betting mitigation volume is going down. They're buying the pre-loss relationship. If they're right and you're still waiting for the phone to ring, you're the exit liquidity.
