If you are reading this, it is likely you are a member of the Southern California Chapter of the CRS. But perhaps not.
If you aren't, you should be. In my opinion you will get far more out of being a CRS if you join our local chapter. There are some great meetings to attend each quarter when you will learn new things to help YOUR business, and meet folks from other areas which opens the door for more referrals (inbound AND outbound). And if you are interested in getting involved in the organization itself, there are opportunities for that as well.
Here's a full list of the benefits we feel you will derive from joining:
1) Networking – You will be associating with local and top SoCal CRS Designees and given the opportunity to exchange business cards and leads at our SoCal quarterly meetings. This could mean the difference between you receiving $5,000 to $20,000 in commissions.
2) Sharing useful ideas that work – You will be able to attend closer SoCal General Membership Meetings at a discount rather than going to the national meetings further away. You will be gathering to share what works in your part of SoCal, a marketing program you tried that was great, or a powerful program you utilize in your business. These are great national ideas and top speakers at the local level. WOW, these ideas are powerful if used. This can save you up to $300.00 dollars you would have paid to attend National seminars.
3) SoCal Newsletter – You will receive our customized newsletter which is packed with National and SoCal news, events and ideas. A $50.00 value.
4) Incoming referrals within SoCal - Most referrals stay in SoCal and are encouraged to be kept with a SoCal chapter member. Look first for a SoCal member.
5) Sell-a-bration raffle – You will be eligible for a raffle drawing to win a trip to the National Sell-a-bration Convention. A $500.00 value. This may NOT be offered every year, however.
6) SoCal CRS membership gives you increase professionalism while learning, watching and working with the best in the industry.
7) Giving to the communities - Our chapter donates to Habitat for Humanity.
8) Volunteering opportunities at local and SoCal level - You will have a higher level of perception with your listing/selling clients.
9) Point of difference - Show your clients that you are involved in your designation in comparison to your competition who is not involved. This could mean the difference in receiving or not receiving a listing.
10) ANNUAL Marketing Campaign – You will be listed in the SouthernCaliforniaCRS.com online directory and the opportunity to have your business card in the newsletters - 4 times per year!!
11) SoCal CRS sponsored CRS Courses at reduced rates – You will have the opportunity to take a SoCal CRS sponsored CRS 2 day class for $50.00 less than the non-SoCal CRS member. (This program is one 2 day CRS class per calendar year). Please see the SoCal CRS Rebate Policy for exact details on this program.
12) Integrity - We help police the CRS Designation and challenge those that are using the designation falsely. This keeps your CRS Designation the strongest in the industry.
