Glenn and Marilyn Gould will lay out successful management and marketing strategies for businesses in a declining industry. In general, death care is in decline, but contrary to popular opinion the current environment creates opportunities for superior profits. 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.
In addition to the above MKJ will sponsor the Import – Export Summit on January 28-29, 2015, at the Terranea Resort minutes from Los Angeles International Airport.
