I recently had the great opportunity to have a conversation with an entrepreneur – Pete Williams – who is an expert on leveraging systems and technology to make your business more productive, efficient and profitable.
But this isn’t just a generic talk about business in general – I ask Pete to apply his methods and strategies for funeral home and cemetery professionals. Some of the highlights of the interview are:
- How can funeral homes and cemeteries take advantage of outsourcing non “high touch” tasks? Please explain why outsourcing doesn’t always mean overseas
- How can funeral homes and cemeteries “delegating locally”?
- Can you explain how funeral homes and cemeteries can be seen as the local funeral expert by interviewing (having conversations with) different “End Of Life” experts such as Hospice workers, Clergy, Estate Lawyers, Celebrants, etc)
- How can funeral homes and cemeteries monitor their reputations online
- How can funeral homes and cemeteries leverage technology by documenting training processes and standard operating procedures?
