We are pleased to announce that Bill Summers has joined the Funeral Innovations team as Director of Sales. Bill will enhance our current sales process and make it more effective and efficient. In addition, Bill will manage our sales team as our company continues to grow.
“Funeral Innovations is the recognized leader in social media marketing for our profession. They were the first and they are still the best. Social media is now the essential marketing platform that successful funeral providers use to reach the community and develop stronger relationships with families. It is my privilege to work with this team of superstars during this exciting time for our clients.”
Bill comes to us with 18 years of sales experience in funeral service, and extensive knowledge of sales development and management. Prior to joining us, Bill worked as Regional Director of Sales for Batesville leading a group of field consultants to successfully help accounts in twelve Midwestern states. Last year, Bill helped his team deliver record-setting market share growth. This background in management and marketing strategies will now help our partner firms grow their own market share within their customer base.
Bill also has extensive experience helping clients increase preneed sales using both life insurance and trusts. He has worked closely with funeral homes to develop strategies for lead generation and preneed sales staff development. This experience is a perfect fit with Funeral Innovations’ partner firms who want to utilize modern marketing techniques to attract new leads.
Bill is the father of four and along with his wife Mary Claire they are proud to make Des Moines, IA their home. Bill says, “Des Moines is a fantastic business community and this central location lets me travel and work easily with clients all across the nation. I’m eager to get to know every one of Funeral Innovations partners, including our newest customers and anyone else who wants to work with the easiest, most effective and most successful system to help you manage your company’s online presence.”
