Get Associated To The Value That You Create

Interview 10 – 20 of your best;

• Clients and ask them what it means to them having a pre-arranged funeral.
• Client families well after the grieving is over and ask them what it meant to them having had their loved one pre-plan their own funeral.

This helps Funeral Directors to get associated to the value and over their own unmet needs of safety, approval and worthiness to provide the inspiration to deal with;

• The client not wanting to talk about it (parable)
• Fear of upsetting the community
• Make calls following up on pre-need enquiries and getting discouraged
• Waiting for response from mailers
• The client not wanting to part with their money because of what they might have lost in the market
• Following up on presentations / seminar attendees
• Asking for referrals

It Is Not About You

• It is not about you, it is not about the client, it is about saving their family and loved ones …
• Being caught unprepared
• Eliminating 90% of the things that the family and loved ones has to do
• Eliminating the burden of making difficult decisions
• Eliminating the potential of family conflict
• Emotional strain that confronts loved ones left to make arrangements
• Making it less painful at a very difficult time
• Reducing emotional overspending at a difficult time
