Welcome
HBA Executive !!!
Dear HBA Executive,
Welcome to this
special page that has been created just for you. We have received
so many requests to conduct programs at the local HBA level that
we have instituted an exclusive arrangement for your educational
needs.
Executive Officers,
Education Directors and Membership Chairs from all over the country
have requested that we develop programs that are:
- Content
Rich (programs full of take-home, no-nonsense strategies
that can be easily and immediately implemented)
- Industry
Specific (education based on the needs and current issues
of the industry)
- Inspirational
(people are educated, entertained and motivated to act)
- Affordable
(for HBA's of all sizes to increase membership
and generate non-dues revenues)
To that end,
we have put together some information to help you create exceptional
meetings for your HBA membership. If at any time you think
you need more information for your HBA group, please send
an email to Paul Montelongo.
FAQs
For whom is this exclusive arrangement designed?
It is designed for local chapters and state chapters of
the National Home Builders Association. You must be an approved
chapter of the NAHB in order for this program to work for you.
It is not designed for corporations. Their needs are very
different. It is not designed for other associations.
Builders, Contractors and Associates of the NAHB have specific membership
needs and as a long-time member, Paul Montelongo understands those
needs.
Mr. Montelongo, what advantage is there for our BA to offer
programs outside of existing NAHB programs? You are
correct. NAHB has many courses. In fact, Paul is an
approved instructor of many of those courses. Montelongo has
found in his work with industry leaders that the face of the industry
changes almost on a monthly basis. Association designations
are critical for credibility and many members have said that they
got even greater insight from Paul's insider point of view.
Therefore, he has developed even deeper, more content-rich programs
in the areas of Sales Training, Marketing and Branding, Business
Management, Leadership and Staff Development. Montelongo's
programs dig deeper into the issues and challenges facing the housing
industry on a daily basis. He also has a unique set of sessions
that are specifically designed for associate members and vendors
who sell to the housing industry.
How can our HBA increase the value to our membership?
The most successful HBA's in the country have an aggressive, "out
of the box" educational agenda. They realize that an
educated member is a member that is much easier to retain.
HBA's who have a full educational calendar are making money for
their HBA with their programs. Educational courses provide
more than useful information. They furnish an opportunity
for important networking and camaraderie between members.
Responding to the specific needs of your membership is critical.
The right education does that.

Thinking Outside the Sale

Who
is Paul Montelongo? Montelongo is a full time professional
speaker that specializes in the construction industry. Paul is a
regularly featured speaker at many of the NAHB conferences, an industry
author and an experienced 25-year contractor. Read
Paul's complete biography.
Why
would an HBA want to invest in a professional speaker? Forget
for a moment that Montelongo is a professional speaker. The
facts are that education may cost a little, but lack of education
can cripple a person's life. Members continue to say their
invested dollar in the HBA is worth every penny when they are moved
to action. A professional speaker is dedicated to a level
of educational performance that exceeds that of part-time, inexperienced
public speakers. It is similar to hiring your part-time handyman
brother-in-law to build your home or hiring a bona fide professional
builder. Read
all about Paul's performance guarantee to Meeting Planners.
Isn't
a professional speaker going to be too expensive for our HBA?
"You
may be right". However, you may be pleasantly surprised
with this exclusive arrangement. Paul Montelongo has made it affordable
for all HBA's. Some HBA's may want to partner with other HBA's
in the geographical area and other HBA's may find it advantageous
to obtain sponsorships. The fee structure
will be worth the investment.
We have
had other "professional speakers" talk to our group and
our members felt like it was a sales pitch for their products and
services. What can we expect from you? Mr.
Montelongo will never sacrifice the content, quality and integrity
of his programs in the name of selling a few books. In fact,
Mr. Montelongo is one of only a few speakers in the world that has
a written guarantee for his programs. Read
all about Paul's performance guarantee to Meeting Planners.
What
can Mr. Montelongo do for our associate members?
Like many associations around the country, HBA's are comprised of
a large percentage of associate members. Associates want to
sell their goods and services to builder members. Mr. Montelongo
believes that they should. Vendors are an integral part of
our industry and they should take advantage of every opportunity
to network with their builder clients. That includes becoming
an active member of an HBA. Paul conducts a very popular program
called, "How to Be a Big Sales Magnet to Builders".
If you would like a complimentary copy of his book by the same title,
please send Paul an
email.
What is the fee structure for this exclusive
HBA arrangement? The objective in this exclusive
arrangement is for your HBA to maximize Paul's talents, insights

we highly encourage you to take advantage of Paul's arrival by having
him do at least two programs in one day. Here are a few options.

What are ways to create non-dues
revenues for our HBA with Paul's educational programs?
There are several ways. The exact details will depend on a
variety of factors, for example, the number of attendees.
However, consider some of these ways.
- Small Business dinner roundtable event with industry leaders.
Many organizations have sold sponsorships during the evening mixer
for their local housing industry leaders to have dinner with Mr.
Montelongo. At these roundtables, Montelongo has been able
to share in-depth insights about the future of our industry, the
composition of the work force, creative financing and marketing
strategies and advanced management skills with the dinner sponsors.
- Though these programs are specifically designed for the housing
industry, Paul has presented programs in which other associations
partnered to take advantage of the education. For example
the local plumbing, electrical or roofing association can be invited
to the programs and pay a premium for the opportunity.
- Resource sales. It is possible for your HBA to invest
in a quantity of Paul's books or CD's to resell to your association
members. Paul has arrangements with several HBA's and with
BuilderBooks.com. You can consider purchasing resources
at a wholesale level and then resell at a retail price.
- Special management and leadership sessions during Paul's visit
to your HBA. An exclusive meeting can be arranged for your
most loyal and prominent members to take advantage of Montelongo's
extensive housing industry business experience. A separate
fee can be charged for this event and the revenue shared with
your HBA.
- Vendor and associate member sponsorship. HBA's frequently
have a large vendor associate sponsor an important program for
it's members. Paul will then work specifically with the
vendor and his sales staff with a private educational session.
- Multiple programs. If your HBA has an educational commitment
for the entire year and Mr. Montelongo is a part of that commitment,
you can receive discounts for your commitment to multiple programs.
Send Paul an email
to discuss any of the above opportunities or to create other non-dues
revenue opportunities.
