Overview
| Considering the venture of starting your own business generates a distinct excitement for change and independence and it's an American Dream. For some, this dream becomes a challenge filled with enough desire and energy to carry them beyond the realm of current occupation toward a self-made career which reflects their true character and entrepreneurial spirit. Accepting this challenge means transforming a dream into reality; a journey which demands strategic planning and direction. Those who succeed typically follow a common path: determine the right opportunity, utilize a proven method, and develop the skills and resources necessary to execute better than the competition. If you diligently proceed along this career path, you will reach the threshold where desire meets reality; you will experience the gratification of charging through the door toward independence and personal growth. |  |

Training & Support
The BrickKicker provides a professional approach to training its franchisees. You will receive instruction and practice from experienced professionals and experts well seasoned in the business. We utilize our own staff as well as outside specialists to provide a thorough and practical understanding of the home inspection business. The majority of your training will take place at our national headquarters located in Naperville, Illinois. You will benefit from our experiences and practical solutions.
As a BrickKicker franchisee, your initial training program will contain four critical elements. We believe each individual's progress will be different and expect to customize our program to meet specific needs and varied skill levels.
Business/Administrative
This aspect of your training centers around an understanding of the home inspection industry, how your business should be structured to operate productively and efficiently.
Marketing/Sales
Once you're set up and structured to launch your business, it is then vital to let the entire market know you are there! We'll start with The BrickKicker Marketing Handbook and work together to design a marketing plan specific to your territory. In addition, we'll address the dynamics of salesmanship while taking part in role playing. Finally we will conduct "live" sales calls, office presentations, one-on-ones, and telesales situations.
Technical/Inspection
The BrickKicker business and marketing training will help you prepare for and secure inspections. However, YOU must perform to establish a professional identity in your marketplace just as we have done. We will show you how it is done! You'll learn about roofs, electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems. You'll understand the structural and functional elements of a building and learn how to inspect them. By combining classroom, on-site and one-on-one instruction, you'll apply theory to actual hands-on situations with our local customers.

ITI is the training branch of The BrickKicker. ITI is owned and operated by The BrickKicker National Franchise Network. ITI will teach the technology of home inspection along with the special art of what to look for, how to report what they see and, most importantly, how to relate their technical knowledge in a manner that the clients and Realtors can understand. It's all part of The BrickKicker training and testing program, which allows the inspector to receive the credential of Residential Building Consultant (RBC). A designation exclusive to The BrickKicker National Franchise Network.
