It’s not just about having a kiosk in your model homes and sales offices, but the process your team implements to actually use the kiosks in order to communicate with buyers and get the point across versus leaving them to fend for themselves and try to navigate the kiosk on their own.

 

 

HBA Education Class April 9th

Interactive Floor Plan Kiosks are a great tool for new home builders and developers, but you have to get your whole team on board! Using the marketing tools at your disposal and getting Sales to properly use them can be tough. If you’re in the Austin area, we highly suggest you join the HBA Sales and Marketing class Integrating Sales & Marketing to Create a Conversion Driven Culture.

Bring the whole team if you must and get key insights into transforming your Sales organization into a lead conversion machine. Robert Cowes (President & CEO, SmartTouch® Interactive) and Shant Samtani (Sales Manager, Esperanza Homes) are joining forces to provide the tools and best practices needed to integrate Sales and Marketing and turn more leads into buyers.
