Overview of Features and Functionality  

1. Usability – FuneralDecisionsCRM is one of the most „User Friendly‟ systems currently  available. Counselors can begin using the main functionality of the system within 10  minutes. We include a “Show Me How” tab on each counselor‟s system that will literally  walk them through each step of using the CRM. When viewing a contact‟s information  page, everything is present on one screen, so no back-and-forth to view important  information. 

Why That‟s Important – Spend less time training staff/new hires on using the system and  more time having them sell. Plus when a system is easy to use, your counselors will  adopt quicker and work more effectively. 

2. Web-Based and Mobile – Your FuneralDecisionsCRM is accessible from any internet  connected computer, tablet or smart phone anywhere in the world. The mobile version  is formatted specifically for a smart phone which enables you to work your contacts on  the go. 

Why That‟s Important – Counselors are no longer tied to a specific computer in your  office. They can access their contacts, to-do lists, appointments, and anything else in the  system from anywhere they want. If your counselors are often giving in-home  presentations, they no longer need to worry about printing out the family‟s information,  taking notes on the paper, and then re-entering it when they return to the  office…everything can be done on their phone (and they can dictate their notes too) and  will show up in the system in real-time. 

3. Customizable – You are able to customize many aspects of your system, from the  customer information fields, sources, categories and flags, to the marketing paths and to do plans for your staff. 

Why That‟s Important – Every funeral home and cemetery does business a little different  than the next. We provide a great starting base, but give you the ability take the system  and make it your own. The overall flexibility of the system allows it to fit to your business  and not the other way around. 

4. API Reporting & Integrations – API essentially means that our system can integrate  with other systems that you may be using, which enables seamless information transfer  between multiple programs. Excel and web-based systems are able to pull information  directly from your CRM‟s database instantly, no exporting and importing data. Why That‟s Important – To increase the flexibility of our system, we enabled it to “talk” to  your other systems which means that FuneralDecisionsCRM will fit right in with your  current way of doing business. And because we know every business likes different  reporting capabilities, being able to pull your contacts directly into Excel or another  reporting system allows you to generate custom reports and dashboards so that you can  keep up-to-date with your business.

5. Marketing and Sales Force Automation – FuneralDecisionsCRM enables you to  automate portions of your sales and marketing processes by automatically sending  emails, assigning to-do plans and autoresponder campaigns. 

Why That‟s Important – Your counselors can now spend less time sending emails and  more time working directly with families that need their assistance. Your CRM can  automatically respond to information requests, stay in contact with cold leads, send  emails on a specific day and remind your counselors about phone calls and  appointments. The system can even remind the consumer about their meeting! 

6. Website Integration – FuneralDecisionsCRM integrates directly with your website‟s  “Contact Us” form, “PrePlanning” form or any other section where you capture visitor‟s  contact information. The system will automatically alert a counselor about the new  contact, can assign a To-Do plan or respond automatically to the request. Why That‟s Important – Counselors are no longer printing out an email only to re-enter it  into a lead management system; this saves time and eliminates input errors. And  because everything is stored in one central location you are no longer losing contact  information or wasting time going through full email inboxes to find a person‟s phone  number. 

7. Follow-Up Assistant – The Follow-Up Assistant automatically stays in contact with cold  leads, enticing them down the sales funnel with our service education campaign.  FuneralDecisionsCRM comes with both an online and offline version, however only the  online is completely automated. 

Why That‟s Important – If your counselors are commission based (who usually go after  the newest leads) or just don‟t have the time to keep up with a lead, the Follow Up  Assistant can increase your sales by as much as 20% by doing the leg work for your  counselors and staying in contact with your forgotten leads. By some measures, as  much as 70% of the leads you have are not properly followed up with and therefore are  lost sales. 

8. Sales Manager View – FuneralDecisionsCRM enables Sales Managers to stay up-to-date  with their counselor‟s activities. Quickly view appointments, to-do‟s, or filter contacts  based on activity date. No more generating and printing time consuming call reports or  activity lists. 

Why That‟s Important – By not running structured weekly reports, your Sales Manager  has the ability to view in real-time what your counselor‟s are doing. Filter contacts by last  note or last edit date, see To-Do items that were completed today or that are still in  progress. Let your Sales Manager do their job, not run administrative tasks.

9. Sales Coach & Content – FuneralDecisionsCRM comes with a library of professionally  written sales and marketing letters and emails. We work with such industry consultants  as Gary O‟Sullivan and John Callaghan, to keep our library consistently updated with  some of the best content possible. The “Sales Coach” is a collection of videos and  documents by Gary and John, covering a variety of sales and marketing topics, which  even a seasoned counselor will appreciate. 

Why That‟s Important – Well written letters helps to increase sales. Gary and John are  two of the top individuals in our industry and now you can tap into some of their  expertise. Plus the “Sales Coach” will help sales people of all levels to increase their skills. 

10. Advanced Customer Segmenting – With advanced segmenting functionality, you can  now quickly filter down a list of thousands of leads to a very specific sub-set of the group  and then send a letter, email or assign a To-Do. 

Why That‟s Important – Sending semi-customized letters or emails to contacts increases  your chances of converting more to customers. Let‟s say you want to send a letter to  every person in a specific zip code who called asking for information regarding  cremation with viewing during the month of August last year. Within seconds you can  filter your contacts down to this specific list of individuals and generate a mail merged  letter along with address labels…saving you time, money and more importantly,  customizing the sales experience.
