Finding Profitable Solutions at The International Builder Show


The International Builder's Show will be held January 20th -23rd in Las Vegas. The focus this year for every builder and design center will no doubt be "How can I increase the number of homes I sell, increase the average dollar of upgrades and profitability of my business?"
I am very excited to announce the Hearth and Home series of seminars designed to help you do exactly that.

In addition, you won't want to miss the newest cutting edge product that will help differentiate your homes and commercial projects from the competition. We have a terrific solution to show you, no matter who you build for.



In our 'Profit Solutions' presentation, we will lay out 8 innovative ways to increase your sales of homes, drive more option and upgrade sales, and improve customer satisfaction, no matter who you build for. The presentations will run continually throughout the show.

I will be discussing ways to earn more profit through your design center, design trends in mantels and surrounds, and what the customer will be seeking in 2008 and beyond. Come join us and sit by our fire! In about 20 minutes, you will learn 8 different ways to make more profit with fireplaces. Every attendee will receive 20 minutes off of their feet, and a $5 gift card from your favorite coffee retailer!

Bonus Seminars on Housing trends from industry experts will be offered once every morning and afternoon.
