“With the commoditization of products and services in our society, providing an exceptionally high level of customer service is critical to differentiating us from our competition. Especially when the funeral and cemetery profession achieve a higher level of satisfaction compared to other industries”, says Jake Johnson, President and CEO of Johnson Consulting Group. “At the average sale of a funeral today, the loss of even one family can have material impacts on a business and its value. The answer to continual improvement is to survey our customers, ask the difficult questions, ask for a review online, and recover when there’s an issue”.

The Johnson Consulting Group Performance Tracker X tool provides funeral home and cemeteries timely, accurate measurements of customer service and sale performance.  The software offers comprehensive reporting that shows business owners what they are doing well and identifying the areas that need fine-tuning and improvements.

Johnson Consulting Group started its customer survey program in 2008. This large amount of survey data has proven invaluable to providing insight into customer needs and satisfaction. The company attributes the program’s growth based on its ability to offer the program with no contract to sign, a low monthly cost, and accessibility to its management professionals for interpretation and usefulness of the reports.
