ICCFA 2011 Wide World of Sales Conference 

Call for Presentations (Deadline: June 4)

The ICCFA Sales & Marketing Committee is preparing for the 2011 Wide World of Sales Conference, January 12-14 at Bally’s Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and we invite you to share your expertise with your colleagues.

The Wide World of Sales is the largest sales and marketing conference in the cemetery, cremation and funeral service profession. 

We are seeking the very best, most relevant and most thought-provoking sales and marketing programs, tools and techniques being used today. We want presentations with concrete, how-to information, with an emphasis on the "how" rather than the "why." If you have expertise to share, this is your opportunity to give back to the profession. The committee invites you to submit a session proposal, to include: 

• your contact information
• a detailed description of your "how to" topic, including the specific tools, techniques and/or initiatives the attendee will be able to put to use immediately
• the primary target for your presentation (managers, counselors or both; cemeteries, funeral homes or both)
• a list of handouts you will provide for our attendee on-site binder supplementing your presentation (at least two handouts are required)
• a brief bio regarding your background and qualifications, including any previous speaking experience

The format for this conference calls for numerous brief (20- or 30-minute) sessions, so please narrow your topic to one or two key points that you can fully develop and communicate within that time period. Please submit your proposal by June 4, 2010, to Linda Budzinski at lindab@iccfa.com (preferred) or via fax at 703.391.8416.

Thank you for your willingness to share your time and talents!
