MKJ Announces 2016 Seminar Programming

Largo, FL – At a time when most of the death care industry is talking about less, MKJ offers a seminar on MORE. Contrary to what many believe, the funeral business has never offered greater opportunity; it may not be business as usual, but there are proven opportunities for growing every aspect of your business.  WHY?  Because most of your competitors are satisfied watching their businesses decline year after year.  They don’t want to do what’s necessary to grow their business.

MKJ’s 2016 seminars focus on immediate strategies and marketing trends to increase your average sale and get more from the products and services you already offer:

  • Re-double your pre-need sales efforts
  • Multiply your marketing return
  • Capture add-on sales during funeral and cremation arrangements
  • Expand on e-commerce capabilities for online shopping

No other programming in the industry has specifically addressed how to add grow your revenue in all these ways.

 

Choose from two seminar locations in March of 2016:

Ski-in, Ski-Out at the Westin Resort in Avon, CO:  February 29 through March 2

Sandy Beaches and Time in the Sun at the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island, FL:

March 21 – 23.
