Description

Presenter: Stuart Morris

As celebrants, the concept of “selling” can feel tacky and distasteful. We don’t want to appear like pushy double-glazing salesmen or insensitive cold callers, but we do have bills to pay. We’re self-employed business people so how can we maximise our business potential whilst maintaining the dignity and the joy of our profession? In this interactive session we’ll be talking ways to increase sales without ‘selling’. (For funeral and couple/family celebrants).
