Building Materials GMs Join Trade Associations to Increase Sales

Posted by Joe Gargiulo | Sat, Feb 27, 2016 @ 09:00 AM
Building Materials GMs Membership in trade groups provides a type of safety in numbers that is achieved by being united with large numbers of people with similar business interests. 

With competition arising from every nook and cranny, GMs in the building materials industry can find professional security, increase sales and stay abreast of the latest trends by joining an association.

CrossCheck reviewed a handful of representative orgs that support their membership bases while providing brief descriptions, links to upcoming conferences, and the means to join. We highly recommend seeking out and joining one in your region, so much so, that we wrote this successful article: Ten Reasons to Join an Association.
