Tee Up for More Golf
The inaugural CACM Golf Classic was a huge success for our managers and the industry partners that sponsored and/or played in the tournament. So successful, that next year we are adding a NorCal (San Jose to start) golf tournament as well as a third golf tournament in the desert,
both in May 2020
. The OC Golf Classic is scheduled for Oak Creek Golf Club on Monday, October 26, 2020. Watch for information and opportunities soon on our website.
Get Creative
How engaged are you at our events? One of our many jobs is to help guide our Industry Partners on the best ways to get involved with CACM and our manager/management company members. The first and simplest way to be engaged is to focus less on the number of business cards you can obtain at an event and more on the personal conversations you can have with that manager giving you their card. We can spend all day guiding managers to help get them in front of you, but if the only engagement is collecting a business card, it will be short lived. Be engaged when sponsoring – don’t wait for managers to approach your area. Be out in front, say good morning/afternoon to everyone that walks by. Have a spinning wheel with prizes. At an industry expo in Washington, DC, I offered a flat screen TV to the winner who had the highest score on Guitar Hero. They were lined up to play, and of course, I said hello to everyone. Be creative. Be engaged. It will pay off.
Nominate, Nominate, Nominate
Another way to help managers is to
nominate them for a Vision Award
. Seriously, there isn’t an Industry Partner reading this that doesn’t know a good manager worthy of an award. Whether you sponsor an award or not, that manager will greatly appreciate the recognition of the nomination. Time is running out. Need help? Ask us, we’ll be glad to help you. That manager will have access to a nominee VIP area with their own bar, early entrance to the ceremony and five guest passes, which probably would include the person who nominated them.
THE Party at CACM's Law Seminars
Many Industry Partners have asked us to partner with you for an industry after party at the Law Seminars and Expo. I heard you, and we have developed a great way to accomplish just that. The Vision Award Show will feature locally recognized live bands ready to play immediately after the awards ceremony. I’m not at liberty to announce their names just yet, but I think they will rock the house at the CACM After Party. Please join us.
You’re not only an Industry Partner for managers. You’re CACM’s Industry Partner, too. What else can I, or my team, do for you?
