REPOST - Looking for Good People to Help SNL Expand!

     It seems like every time I turn on the television or read the paper I'm reminded that the economy is still in jeopardy.  Fortunately for Security National, our business is up and we're expanding into new states.  As I've been doing interviews over the past few weeks - I have found that there are some outstanding people looking for work and I hope I have the opportunity to align myself with some of them.  It's been quite an eye-opener to talk to individuals that have a strong education, dynamic personalities and outstanding sales experience, but because of the economy are unemployed. 

     While I have outstanding candidates to interview in some states, I have had some difficulties finding some in others.  I have to admit up front that my wife calls me "picky" and a "perfectionist" and "practically impossible;" - my response is that I'm a man who knows what he's looking for.  I've combed resumes, posted the position but haven't quite found a group of candidates that are just what I'm looking for in a couple of states.  With that said, I thought I might try this blog as an outlet for trying to give someone a great job in a down economy.

     I am looking for an employee to cover the states of Georgia and South Carolina.  I would prefer a Funeral Director background or some type of funeral experience/pre-need experience - but that isn't absolutely necessary.  While I believe that most pre-need companies are "product" driven - at Security National Life, we try to bring a service approach to our pre-need business so I'm looking for a individual that can buy into our marketing philosophy.  As I said earlier - this is an employee position with a base salary, override on business written and monthly bonuses on production and an annual efficiency bonus.  If you think you might be interested or know someone who might be interested - please email me at:  guy.winstead@securitynational.com or call my office at 800-826-6803.  You can also visit our career page by clicking on the link below, select that your looking for a job - fill out the form and attach your resume.  If you don't have a resume, simply follow this link:  www.securitynational.com/PNrecruit and provide your information and I'll contact you - It's that easy!

     We're a great company with that family feel to us and I can't wait to talk to you about this excellent opportunity as we expand!

Daily Work Plan

     If you know me at all, you know I’m all about having a plan. As an agent I had to work by a schedule or I would find myself (potentially) wasting days upon days because I didn’t have a routine or Daily Work Plan. Below is an idea I would like to pass on to you in hopes that it might help you as it helped me.

    Work a plan today! Make this a daily work plan. You probably won’t be able to follow exactly; there will be interruptions. The unexpected will happen, but try and follow this as closely as you can. Make adjustments for changes and don’t let changes ruin your day. As adjustments come, try to get back on track as quickly as possible. Keep your eye on your objective and your mind and actions on the work plan for achieving your goals; buying that new house, your children’s education, a new car or whatever your objective may be. Here is a suggested starter plan. It is 100% better than no plan at all.

     Your plan needs to be for YOU, and YOUR FAMILY. You and your spouse need to plan around family activities – it is as impor- tant as a pre-need appointment. If you do not share in taking children to ball games, school, family events or just relaxing into your plan - when will you do it? Almost everything that you have or need to do can be planned ahead.

EXAMPLE WORK PLAN:

9:00 – Noon        Prospect, deliver obituaries, make presentations, return calls promised from the

                           day before. (Remember: retired and older families are usually home during morning     

                           hours.)

Noon – 1:00        Lunch

1:00 - 2:00          Practice, study, read, complete daily reports, listen to sales or self-development CD’s 

                           and tapes.

2:00 - 5:30         Rest, relaxation, recreation, pick up children, play golf, run errands, etc.

5:30 - 6:00         Dinner (Or where I’m from we call it Supper)

6:00 - 6:30         Re-map evening appointments.

6:30 - 9:00        Best hours for presentations, delivering obits, sales, setting appointments, and  

                         catching all ages at home.

Total: 8 HOURS WORK TIME

     This is just a sample work sheet. You will have to work your own time frame around your other obligations. Just remember that work time pays the bills and allows your family to have what they need. If you can work evenings every other day it is better than not working evenings at all. If you take off a day during the week, work half a day Saturday. Saturday morning is a great day to catch people at home and find families that you can visit the next week and set an appointment with them.

     Self-discipline must be developed and maintained if a person wants to succeed. Time management and self-discipline are the key ingredients to successful planning. Time can work for you or against you. Which would you have it do for you? De- velop the planning habit.

ICCFA Convention in San Antonio, TX (March 10 - 14, 2010)

I want to invite everyone to San Antonio, TX to the ICCFA Convention - Booth 448.  Come by and see us!  The SNL Pre-Need Division will be there and we'll also have another company of ours in the booth - "C & J Financial" or "SNL Fast Funding" as we call it.  They are an at-need insurance assignment factoring company that we own and partner with as a service offering to client and potential client funeral homes.  They are an OGR Event Partner.  We've developed a product offering called "Partners in Profitability" where we offer an even lower discounted factoring rate on at-need assignments based on the amount of pre-need business that is written through Security National Life.  It's a great incentive for a customer to embrace both companies, but it's an even greater incentive for both companies to keep our shared customer happy!  Come by and see us at the ICCFA or browse the links below to learn more about both of our great companies.
