Are you wanting to go multi-inspector? Are you already at that point and ever feel like you're running an obstacle race while managing a multi-inspector firm? Wondering how you can bypass the hurdles of structure and finding competent help? Well, tune in as we discuss HOW to go multi-inspector, WHEN to go multi-inspector, and HOW to make it work overall. We'll also explore the noble path of profitability, highlighting why profitability should be your badge of honor rather than the size of your business.

Think about your inspection business. Now, imagine it as a well-oiled machine, where every cog is in place, and everything just works. Sounds too good to be true? Not necessarily. We're diving into the nitty-gritty of how structure can dramatically influence your business's success or failure. We'll peel back the layers of the business onion, analyzing the number of inspections one can perform annually, and the costs and profits associated with them. Plus, we'll be sharing some clever ways you could give your profit margin a substantial boost.

What if, I told you, the secret to boosting your profitability lies in offering ancillary inspections? Here's a thought - what if the key to increasing net profitability isn't really about focusing on market share, but about becoming amazing at every ancillary inspection instead? We'll explore this exciting idea and also discuss services like chimney, septic, and water treatment inspections that can add value to your business. 

So, buckle up, because in this session of Inspector Toolbelt Talk, we're taking your inspection business to the next level!
