A generous portion of time will be spent generating sales away from the funeral home location. This could mean customer's homes, local restaurants or other establishments willing to house seminar events, and other locations where the Market Sales Director deems necessary to solicit new business.
Schedules are determined by the independent Pre-Need Sales Agent. The pre-Need Sales Agent will be given the opportunity to work location duty days at the designed funeral homes, but not required to do so. If the Agent chooses to take a floor-duty day, they agree to the responsibilities. Floor-duty includes assisting walk-in families, assisting callers with information about their prearrangements, assisting with pre-need transfers, and helping customers with purchase of monuments.
The Market Sales Director will determine where to travel in order to generate new business.
