About the National Sales and Marketing Council

The Sales and Marketing Council promotes skill and professionalism in sales and marketing for HBA members. The objective of the Council is to serve the building industry through educational services; through awards programs that showcase examples of sales and marketing excellence; and through sales and marketing support to HBA members, committees, and councils. Many of our classes and events lend themselves to all types of sales positions, not just real estate agents!  The Sales and Marketing Council requires membership in addition to your regular HBA membership.  Call HBA for details, or email info@akronhba.com

Our biggest event is the Merchandising and Marketing Excellence awards (MAME) scheduled for February 2004 (location tbd).  An official call-for-entries is mailed in November to HBA and SMC members with deadlines beginning January 2004. Be sure to get your entries in early or call the HBA office for more information.

Our Certified New Home Sales Professional class gives you a CSP designation after your name to show your training.  The 2003 course will take place on April 2, 3 & 4  and will be presented by local instructors and Nancy Gainer, MIRM.  This class offers 20 CEU's for Real Estate. 

Building from the Ground Up is a short (3 hour) class about new construction.  It's great for people new to the industry and veterans alike.  This year's class is scheduled for May 22 from 8:30 am - 12:00 pm at Stratford Green in Green.  Click here for a registration form.
