UPCOMING SMC EVENTS

Sales & Marketing Council Events

The Sales and Marketing Council is responsible for Houston’s Best PRISM Awards each year, which help promote builders, developers, remodelers and associate members to the public as well as reward them for their stellar performance in the industry.

Networking and educational events are held several times throughout the year and offer an opportunity for professionals to learn about relevant industry topics and exchange ideas. The Battle of the Builders is held annually and promotes continuing education through healthy competition. Top producer designations are awarded each quarter and annually in order to recognize sales professionals for their hard work and dedication to new home sales. Texas Bash is a family-friendly outing to Minute Maid to watch the Houston Astros ‘swing for the fences.’

Sponsorships are available for all SMC events. Email Mel Audain to learn more.

Here’s what our members say:

Love, love, love the classes. GHBA has had a couple more Marketing type classes this year which is wonderful. Our businesses aren’t just about building homes, we have to market them first to sell them! Keep up the good work!!
