Thanks for making it available as a download. I think your suggestion for making it a summer project to do the environmental scan, competive forces and SWOT analysis with my staff a must do. I just need to put a big white board up in the break room so maybe people will be motivated to do this on their own without the boss making them. Rob,

As a owner of a Funeral Home in a small town I truly understand the word "Undertaker" The families we serve count on us to walk them through all aspect of Funeral Care. We also can't forget the technical part of our profession because that is what separates us from the Golf Courses and Halls. Good morning Rob

I've oftened wondered about the importance of establishing a business plan for our home since our 100K pop. consist of 90% WASP and 10% AA. We avg. 45 calls/yr. Today's program revealed that we must establish a plan in order to not only compete, but to flourish in the profession we've chosen. I look forward to receiving some of your notes, as I came in about 15 minutes after the telecast start. Thank you for teaching us how to fish. Regards, Cedric Rob:

I particullary liked the discussion about getting back to "Undertaking" and saying yes to request. I have been in funeral service for 34 years and see the difference. The new FD's coming into this field are not as concerned about pleasing the customer as they are about getting their paychecks regularly. Very informative.
