Weigel Interviewed by Dan Isard on his Funeral Radio Show

Weigel Strategic Marketing Also Continues Alliance with Frontrunner Pro

Indianapolis:  Joe Weigel, principal at Weigel Strategic Marketing, was recently a guest on the Dan Isard show on Funeral Radio, the largest online radio network dedicated to funeral professionals.  During the interview, Weigel and host Dan Isard discussed the many challenges of marketing in funeral service today.  In their discussion, they chatted about the ongoing need for effective communications and public relations in funeral service.   The interview may be accessed on the Funeral Radio website at http://tinyurl.com/weigel-isard.

“When Dan asked me to do the interview, I didn’t hesitate to agree,” commented Weigel.  “Over the years, I have developed a healthy respect for Dan.   He is the true epitome of an iconoclast, which is what endears him to many and alienates him from some. I knew the experience would be a rewarding one.”

“Joe is the consummate professional when it comes to the subject of communications in funeral service,” stated Isard.  “He has crafted communications for both Wall Street and Main Street.  I know our listeners would find his perspectives relevant, especially his time at Batesville Casket, which is why I asked him to be on the show.”

Weigel also has announced that his firm has renewed its relationship with Kevin Montroy and the team at Frontrunner Pro. As one of Frontrunner’s Integration Partners, Weigel Strategic Marketing’s communications services are seamlessly integrated with the FrontRunner system to ensure an effortless ordering process by funeral directors.

“Remaining aligned with Kevin Montroy and his team at Frontrunner Professional was an easy decision”, commented Weigel.  “Kevin’s business model reinforces the integrity of the funeral profession while helping funeral professionals build the trust of the families they serve.  Since I have known Kevin, he has always put the needs of the profession before those of his own company.”

“We are delighted to retain Weigel Strategic Marketing on our roster of vendor partners”, stated Kevin Montroy, CEO and founder of FrontRunner Professional.  “Joe Weigel provides a very strategic focus to any communications challenge, not to mention his strong public relations and branding expertise.  He brings an exceptional and unmatched level of communications skill to FrontRunner’s funeral home customers.”
