CAM Certification Takes One More Step
Members are now able to validate themselves to consumers as Certified Canadian Movers through their Blackberrys and iPhones. CAM has implemented a webpage that members can access through handheld devices. You and your sales staff can show consumers that your company is certified through the Canadian Association of Movers. Go to www.mover.net/search (English) or www.mover.net/trouver (French) and search for your company (enter a few letters of your company name and add the city name if your name is not unique) and show your prospective customer that you are certified. Let your sales staff know about this.
Certification helps to close sales!
International Moving
CAM is working to increase the profile of its international members and in turn the value of their memberships.
- CAM has introduced a certification program to validate CAM’s international mover members to consumers and other movers.
- Members’ rate cards and international moving information will be posted to the website along with their logos.
- The certification status of international movers will now show in our online database and on our new smartphone webpage.
- Watch for new announcements from the International Committee.
