NEW FROM THE ICCFA:
FIRST IMPRESSION CREMATION PHONE SHOPPER PROGRAM

How does your staff respond when they take a call from a cremation "phone shopper?" Do they simply give out the price for direct cremation, or do they offer information on the many options available for tribute and memorialization?

The ICCFA now offers the First Impression Cremation Phone Shopper Program to allow you to monitor the first impression your company is making on callers. The program will assist you in recognizing:

• What your staff is communicating to today’s cremation consumer
  
• Whether your staff is fully promoting the value of your company
  
• If you would do business with the person representing your company
  
• Whether there is a need for a phone training program for your staff
  

Julie Burn, CCrE, CSE, ICCFA’s Director of Cremation Services, will act as a consumer requesting information on cremation. The results of the telephone conversation will be provided along with basic recommendations on how your staff can improve their communication skills with the phone shopper. If requested, ICCFA can refer you to a phone shopper training program for your staff.
