Sales Advisory Committee Gearing up for its Fall Activities
Gloria Alonso Cannon, ABR, GRI, Chair
Sales Advisory Committee
The Sales Advisory Committee has been busy planning for its fall activities that include Sales Associates Day and the CBR Sales Awards. This year, the committee will also debut its newly created CBR Lifetime Achievement Award.
Sales Associates Day
Destination Success is the theme for this year's Sales Associates Day (SAD) and we want everyone on board the path to success.
Your attendance is the first step toward reaching this destination.
This year's Sales Associates Day is set for Thursday, October 20, at the Aladdin Shriner Center and will begin with registration and continental breakfast 8:30am, followed by the Annual Business Meeting 9:00-11:00am, the REALTORS® Expo 11am-1pm; and your choice of one of two continuing education courses 1:30-4:45pm.
To cover different needs and interests the following two continuing education classes are being offered:
Agency (Core Law) taught by Hondros College Instructor Tim Detty. This will include a review of recent changes to the Ohio agency law, agency relationships, agency disclosure and fiduciary responsibility, Megan's Law and CLUE reports.
Inside a Buyer's Mind taught by a Hondros College Instructor Rick Walkenhorst. This course will cover effective marketing results through
advertising, the telephone and open houses. Managing the process with prospective buyers and an analysis of today's latest creative financing vehicles will also be addressed.
Please note above that the registration and business meeting have been moved up to an earlier start time this year. Cost for the day is $25 ($30 at the door). Tickets can be purchased online at ColumbusRealtors.com.
Buy your tickets now and avoid the rush.
We have more exhibitors this year so don't forget to bring plenty of business cards!
Sales Awards
For those of you planning to apply for a sales award this year, please note that the Sales Award rules have been revised. It was our intention to make the rules more user friendly. All that is needed now is the signed Sales Certification Form that only needs to be signed by the agent applying for the award and the title company rep, and a printout from TempoTM with the agents name on it showing that the property has been sold. It's important to note that the Agent's name MUST appear on the sales certificate form and the MLS for credit to be applied. Also, please make sure that you review the rules and make sure you are following them (in compliance) to avoid getting a call from the committee. The deadline for submitting your application is Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2005, 5:00pm.
Lifetime Achievement Award
It is impossible to reflect upon the strength of the CBR without acknowledging that the Board's success is a direct result of the tremendous experience and commitment of its members. With any trade organization, it is the dedication and participation of those individuals who have gone "above and beyond the call" while achieving outstanding career success, that make our board unique. To give well-deserved recognition
to these individuals, the Sales Advisory Committee has created the Lifetime Achievement Award to honor the pinnacle of one's real estate career.
Prior to the award being made to the general membership for application in 2006, the Sales Advisory Committee, with the approval of the CBR Board of Directors has selected members to be inducted as "Charter Members" of CBR's Lifetime Achievement Award.
A very special segment of this year's President's Ball is being dedicated to the induction ceremony of CBR's Lifetime Achievement Charter Members. The Ball is set for Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Aladdin Shriners Center. Plan to attend the President's Ball to celebrate those who laid the groundwork for our Board!
This has been an exciting and productive year for the Sales Advisory Committee. We look forward to an exciting, successful Sales Associates Day, receiving lots of sales award applications and to recognizing some very special REALTORS®. Hope you will join us!
