All industries experience boom and decline; learn how businesses in other industries have constructively addressed these challenge and how they apply to death care. “Interestingly, many progressive owners have already adopted these strategies with great success. The objective of the seminar is to demonstrate how these strategies work and how to implement them,” said Glenn Gould, MKJ Chief Executive Officer.
