  • Actively build and manage a personal lead pipeline through community outreach, referrals, and follow up
  • Partner with local organizations and referral networks to expand awareness of advance planning options
  • Use CRM systems, reporting tools, and other technology to track activity and drive sales performance
  • Support a welcoming, organized, and professional funeral home environment in accordance with all state, local, and company standards

What We're Looking For
  • A strong communicator who treats families, colleagues, and community members with dignity and respect
  • A sales motivated professional who is comfortable working toward goals and earning commission
  • High school diploma required; associate's degree or higher in a related field preferred
  • At least one year of experience in advance planning, sales, insurance, or a related role
  • Licensed insurance agent or the ability to obtain required insurance licenses
  • Solid computer and office skills, strong organization, and close attention to detail
  • A genuine desire to help people plan ahead and feel confident in their decision

Successful Advance Planning Specialists commonly earn $90,000 to $100,000+ annually, while also enjoying a comprehensive benefits package. You'll also have access to marketing support, lead-generation initiatives, and professional workshops to help accelerate your growth and maximize your earning potential.
