CBA Creates Industry Standard Questionnaires

 

The CBA created the following sales horse information questionnaires to provide a uniform, “best practices” information sheet for obtaining as much accurate and essential information as possible to help with a consignors’ marketing, and to meet the sales companies’ conditions of sale requirements.  Through their use, we intend to set an industry standard for our group as a whole.  The CBA Board members have unanimously agreed to use these documents when gathering information, and encourages all consignors to do the same.  We realize also that consignors may have further documentation items that are proprietary to individual agencies. The CBA suggests that any other documents be used in addition to our standard form.
