Funeral Homes

[fretfrek]

Fretfrek you can generate biz out of funeral homes. But you are not quite doing it right.

One of my top agents generates leads through funeral home sponsored events. A lot of these funeral homes are owned by chains that have massive marketing campaigns at cemeteries.

At an event in May she was able to get 100 leads and is still working them this month. She was also able to get a survey filled out by each person stating exactly what their funeral needs were ( earth burial, cremation, plot, casket etc.)

Her monthly average is 9200 in ap so it works for her. A lot of people in this biz don't sell final expense as burial insurance. My whole agency markets final expense this way. I even have funeral directors that are appointed. Though they never have time to write very much biz.

Thanks. I stopes canvassing at the funeral home. I don't thing it's right. Although, I haven't been told to f;$(&:$ off. I will contact the home and see if I can attend their events. What state are you in? I'd like to get my hands on that survey.

I'm in California. The survey was nothing special she just typed one up on her home computer with a couple of boxes to check. She has only been in the biz for 6 months and use to sell pre need so she has previous knowledge about funeral needs.

Keep trying new things the market is constantly evolving. Just because some people think you have a bad idea doesn't mean you can't make it work. Just be careful how you solicit biz.

If I still did things the same way my grandfather did 50 years ago to sell this stuff. I would be broke!

I think this is a tag team operating here. Start an inane thread, see who bites and have the LH recruiter save the day.
Check out how long this guy has been on the forum - he surely can't be that dense or he has a very flat learning curve.

Bla, Bla, Bla...whatever. I'm already doing it and I got 5 people who are interested and shceduled an appointment already.

I would take a more gentle approach and just ask if you can hang a banner at the graveyard..."A" for effort..

I'll see your funeral home and raise you a hospice home. I spent the day in the "Fleeting Hope Care Center" parking lot and generated 8 leads!!! Go Vantis!!!

You might ask about sponsering a game of bingo and setting up a booth during bingo.

Yep, thinking about where our market has a tendency to gather just for prospecting and introduction.

Good luck with that! The bingo players I know are only interested in the bingo balls, nothing else...they don't even talk. I picked up my aunt last week & was amazed at how quite it was with all those people!!
