Beyond the Best-Case Scenario: Positioning Your Company to Take Advantage of the Downturn

Single family home sales rose 11% in June, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. This is great news, but the housing industry isn’t done transforming itself yet.

When the dust of the housing shakeup settles, the builders and other housing professionals left standing strong will be the ones who made a plan for the future. What’s the smartest way to create that plan while staying on top of the current market’s challenges?

Register online today for “Beyond the Best-Case Scenario” audio seminar and learn about a three-step process to do just that. It starts with controlling what can be controlled now and preparing for any market in the future. This approach puts you in the driver’s seat and helps you to be more realistic about your options. This strategic process will show you how to make decisions deliberately instead of desperately.

Date: September 17
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET

Speakers:
Ross Robbins, CMP, CSP, MIRM
Manny Schatz, CAASH, CGP, CMP, MIRM

Fee:
NAHB Members:                $39 per Phone Site
Non-Members:                     $59 per Phone Site

Participate in this seminar and you’ll take away:

Step-by-step methods for mapping out your business strategy
Ways to evaluate your local market to make future plans
A plan to manage your cash and credit
Methods for seeking out opportunities in the current market
Knowledge of the “right” sales scripts

This seminar will show you how to most effectively use your resources and develop a vision for the future while staying focused on what needs to be done day-to-day. You can get ready for the next phase, no matter what it is—why not start now? The one-hour call will include the presentation as well as questions from the audience.
