What should I expect if I am joining SIMA for the first time?

Summarizes the amount of time it takes to join online, some of the information you should have ready, and how to think about your employees engaging with SIMA as contacts in the system.

Before you join consider these questions:
  • Are you willing to put some of your time/your employees time into leveraging the member benefits?
  • Do you have a good idea of the various SIMA members-only benefits? If no, check out our Join page to make sure its a fit first, or reach out to us via our chat online.
Process to Join
Once you are ready, simply visit sima.org/join to get started, you'll need either your existing SIMA account login details or you'll need to create an account with us or login if you have an account but don't have a membership currently.

Plan on about 10 minutes of time to create a full account, provide us some necessary information, and purchase a membership.

Get your info ready
We do ask for quite a bit of professional information from both the individual creating the account and the company they represent or own. Here is a list of items we collect, and why:

Annual Snow Revenue: We collect this to help organize our information, report overall industry trends in company size (anonymously), and to tailor your membership experience

Personal info: We will ask for your work phones and email address for communication purposes

Company info: We ask quite a bit of detail about your company and its existing services you provide and products you sell to customers. This is mainly related to our searchable web directories.
