New business support recruit
New recruit Sarah Gamble has become the first of a new type of Golden Charter representative, working directly on funeral plan sales with a select set of Independents.
Following an extensive process at the plan provider’s Bearsden head office, where she gained a thorough grounding in every facet of funeral planning and Golden Charter’s work, this month Sarah will begin working closely with two independent funeral directors as a Business Support Co-ordinator.
Sarah explained: “I will be based at the funeral directors’ offices and aim to get completely involved and embedded in their ways of doing things.
Independents come in all shapes and sizes, and that kind of direct involvement is the best way to figure out how planning and plan sales can work for each individual company.”
Sarah will be based in the east of England, covering two specific funeral directors: C Terry Funeral Services and G Wathall & Son.
Helen Wathall of G Wathall & Son said: “I am delighted to be part of this pilot, and to welcome Sarah to our team. I look forward to working with her and learning more about increasing and monitoring plan sales. I think this is a great initiative for funeral directors.”
The new role reflects Golden Charter’s increased emphasis on business skills, offering a wider base of support to Independents. Following this trial, the company is looking to build on it with similar roles in the future.
