A Race to Top Transactions
SIORs are conducting millions of dollars in transactions everyday. Properly showcasing these achievements on the website is beneficial from a number of dimensions. Potential clients are quickly impressed by these achievements and it further validates the need to find a broker with an SIOR designation. Current members have their accomplishments recognized and have yet another avenue for clients to find their profile. And potential new members aspire to the heights of the most accomplished SIORs which only fuels their drive to earn their own SIOR designation.
Member Engagement & Recruitment
The new website places added emphasis on SIOR’s biannual conferences, TransACT 360 and CREate 360, to both drive anticipation and registration for the events and to give them a longer shelf life by archiving the events and enabling members to return to the site for session recordings and conference photography. Current members are also able to use the site to market their designation through the marketing toolkit- a resource for logos, presentation templates, team portfolios, and other downloadable tools to help members demonstrate the value of the SIOR network to potential clients.
