From the desk of Janelle Pfleiger, CRS, 2016 president
At CRS, education and training is our strong suit. Members tell me they love our education offerings. In fact, in a recent survey, more than 90 percent of CRS Members said they would recommend CRS education to a friend or colleague. We take a lot of pride in presenting the most vital, forward-looking and useful educational material and tools available in the industry.
One of the ways we do this is through weekly webinars, which touch on a range of topics that can help you differentiate yourself in your market, grow your business and improve your skills—live-streamed right to your home or office. During these busy summer sales months, the webinars can be really useful.
Heres a small sample of the topics planned for this summer:
- For sale by owner: How to turn FSBOs into clients
- Negotiation tactics: Tools to employ in different negotiation situations
- Grassroots marketing: Get new ideas for marketing tactics that generate leads
- 5 minutes to jumpstart your career: Tips to stay motivated
More topics are being added all the time. Later this year, we’ll have a few sessions on using Instagram and Pinterest to market yourself and your properties.
Along with the advice from seasoned educators, the discussions that take place during these webinars allow you to ask and answer questions, and get advice from your peers. Remember, though, if you can’t make the live webinar, you can download it later, along with other course materials.
CRS offers a mix of free and paid webinars, and the paid ones are available to members at discounted rates. Bundle packages offer more opportunities to save (and look out for free webinars during CRS Week, Sept. 19-23).
