New and Better Strategies for Selling Pre Paid Services and Plans

To       :   Sales Admin
               SBU CMO
               Sellers

October 31, 2017

Objectives:  

1.  To sell 5,000 pis pms packages next year in 2017

2.  To save on additional expensive salaries for officers to sell the pre need products

3.  To boost CMS sales

Reality background:

1.  We had disappointment with JI and BQ, We spent P60,000 on Tamondong and P80,000 on JI (who even staged a war vs us). Ms. Jimenez is not  clear on joining.  We cant gel with experienced sellers from the outside

2.  Mr. BQ a senior wanted to join would have allowance but would need a lot of resources and would bring in former employees of LMP (who are also limited and with different mindsets)  He has miniscule targets;  

2.  We were able to sell a number of pis nearly 600.  for the 2nd quarter without additional investments

What we can do?

As Asec Densing has suggested, we just piggy back the memorial plans:   interment service and funeral service with out sales efforts;


Strategies:

1. For the PIS (which shall be marketed as addendum)

       1.  Stop the sales of PIS 12.3 even as part of package by December 2017

        Only at need P14,900 Interment Service shall be available

      2.  Adjust prices of IS
           At need now                        At need by December

   DLX         23t shall be                           28,750*

   LXury       26 shall be                            32,500*
                                                                 subject to review

  2.   With the increase improvements must be made in

          1.  Tributes are must

          2.  Funeral pack 2x in budget

          3.  Dagdagan chairs

          4.  Gandahan tribute

          5.  2x ang merienda after interment

         6.  Magbigay ng corona maski P500.00

.  3.   The customer can save if they buy prepaid interment services on a package with either the regular plots or special plots we are selling in the future.   Not available to previous buyers by 2018

        Those who are previous plot buyers can still buy at the old PIS price of P23,000 and P26,000 until December 2017

B.  For chapel memorial service (funeral service)

  
The #memorial experts

Our customers can start buying in packages.  Because of small monthly for plots and service, having plots and services even become more affordable.   You have everything at your fingertips when you need them

And there is a promo:


 1.       2 in 1 package  (plots + Interment Service

         Promo -  FREE one month amortization

PAGSASANAY SA TAGUMPAY


Rizal Philippines
July 17, 2017

It is a triple 7 day today  7/17/2017. Quite an auspicious day.  May be a lucky day.

The Kita sa Tag Ulan, PMS PIS sales campaign had a slow but sure start, selling only 7 units on the first 15 days.  The SAA and the SBU promised to make up for the next 15 days.

This is their commitment:
                   SBU                               PIS                           PMS                   Total

More guidance on administration (sales) of PIS and PMS

PAGSASANAY SA TAGUMPAY

Rizal Philippines
July 17, 2017

Despite the passing of 15 days the sales performance of PIS and PMS has been lethargic if not anemic.  Only 7 out of 350 targeted for the month.   A lot can be deduced why such happens. May be lack of understanding, lack of love, lack of heroism and ingenuity

But let us have more guidance and more explanation

1. Definition of terms

   1.  Pre paid - like the load, this is not postpaid.  The customer pay for the service advance;

       Prepaid products are Prepaid Interment Service ( PIS) and PMS   (Prepaid Memorial Service) This is not premenstrual syndrome  as dysmenorrhea during monthlies

     It is generally, statistically to be used at some future date, say 3 or more years down the time line.

   2.  At need -  services that are paid when needed.  Generally is 20% higher.  This is done to encourage people to buy before they need the service.  We cant survive on at need sales.   We sell pre paid so that it is cheaper (and generally with traditional products, we cant ask for more payment.  Asking more for traditional products is the wrong way to go.)

      At need service vs PMS is Chapel memorial service. If you memorize the price  list, you can deduce if the payment made is prepaid or at need.  Generally they are higher

2.  Primary Target Market -  existing memorial park plots owners

    We sell to our existing customers.  We contact them as we send them CO (docs) as they pay, through text or email blasts,   Tenting, or saturation will not work.

    Now that the customer has a plot, what else does he/she need to make his ownership of the plot complete. Generally, the service price increases.  We started pricing IS at P5,000. It is now at 23t.  We are increasing this to P25 t.

    Casket price is inching their way up to because of increase in price of wood and metal

    There may be over 10,000 customers we have or more.  If we fix our inventory, there seems to be huge decline in our inventory, thus we we have may be an estimate of 30,000 customers from 5 memorial parks,  However, we do not have a complete customer list.   There is a breakdown in our records/data base

3.    Interest rate on the balance

      There is none for annual and miniscule for semi annual, quarterly and monthly. The interest is to cover the collection

4. Fund management

    Commission                            -   10% ;  ic prescribes payment in two years; we pay in 10 months;    we propose to pay this in twelve months in 2018 to ease our cash flow.  There are only two tiers of com, vs plots;  7 (35% of amort) and 10%

   Marketing expense                 -  4% payable in two years

   TFC                                      -  50% payable in 5 years

    VAT                                          8% payable in 5 years

     GAI                                        12% payable in 5 years

   Insurance                                    4 % payable in  5 years

   

    The balance becomes our liquidity and investment fund which we will use for:  buy and sell of memorial park plots especially those offered  in promos (special plots for sale under promo) where gains can be as much as 50 to 100%.  This is part of TFC. Thus TFC totals 64% (which is near our budget for mortuary agreement)

    Of the GAI, 5% shall be set aside compulsory, as RGP of the PIS PMS

   The funds, after being collected shall be set aside and deposited at MLII within 7 working days.  MLII, the AP and ICR shall be efficient in this respect.


5.  Administration

    RA and MLII shall have comprehensive records and data base of those who bought for speedy confirmation of the SBU;

    MLII shall compute for 4% interest on the  TFC beginning the 6th year.   Either we pay this to the customer or we retain the excess as profit of the MLII

    The funds shall be paid not more than 14 working days by MLII to the SBU

    The CMS shall have their own staff:  TS, CSS for CMS, and licensed embalmer for their complete staff

   The pre need part is a business to be co managed by MLII and RA

   The at need is by the SBU

   The at need operations have been proposed to be incentivized:   at 5% of GP (only for at need;   those servicing the pre paid is excluded)

Proposed new product plan for IC

New product plan for approval by IC

Objectives:

1.  To lessen cost of registration with IC

2.  To make the products non traditional really non traditional, ie pegged at peso value only not the benefits

3.  To simplify training of staff/sellers and servicing of account (by accounting)  (lessen complexity) and save on forms and brochures too

Background:

     As of now we have 13 product packages,  8 caskets,  3 cremation, and two pis and many of them are sometimes similar across the board.

  A.   Caskets services;


            Social

            Zinnia                                        P15,000

            Daffodil                                         20,000

            Econo

            White Rose                                  30,400

            Gladioli                                          39,200

            Cattleya                                         48,500

            Peace Lily                                     62,400

            Carnation                                      89,500

           Chrysanthemum                          110,400


           Interment service

           De Luxe                                         23,000

           Luxury                                           25,000

           
           Cremation                                      

           Direct Cremation                          28,000

           Cremation + White Rose             58,000
           after cremation      

           Cremation + White Rose
            + Ash Crypt upper/lower            88,000

We can see that there are products with common price:

Say white rose and direct cremation and also interment service; carnation and cremation with white rose and ash crypts




What is the plan:

1.  The product shall be non traditional

2.  It shall be based on amounts (say plan P20t, Plan 50t rather than service package;

3.  The products shall be used to purchase like currency services from mortuary or crematorium

4.  To allow flexibility especially if we have tie ups with other memorial parks, like FL who have their own mortuary arrangement

5. The product plans are:

      A. Plan 20t

          Plan 30t

          Plan 50t

         Plan 100t

     Cash benefits may be paid to the planholder if trust fund income exceeds 9% per annum on the average   If below, the mortuaries will be supported.  

     The plans can be used as currency to pay for benefits at mortuary and crematorium instead of being used as a plan

     Plan 20t can be used to avail of the Daffodil or Deluxe interment (dagdag pa ng P3t)

    Plan 30t can be used to avail of White Rose, Luxury Interment and  Direct Interment

   Plan 50t can be used to buy  Cattleya and Cremation with White Rose

    Plan 100t and Plan 20t can be used to buy Chrysanthemum

Thus the sellers bring brochures for:

    1.  Chapel (funeral) service

    2  Interment service

    3. Cremation service

    And say if you want to avail of this buy several of various plans for various services

   They only have four plans to memorize to sell:

       Plans             Annual    Semi Annual       Quarterly      Monthly

      20,000            P4,000       2,100                  1,150            480

      30,000              6,000        3,150                  1,725            600

      50,000             10,000       5,250                  2,875          1,000

     100,000            20,000      10,500                 5,750          2,000


   B.  New Plan for Plan 50t and P100t (Heritage)

        If the planholder and his beneficiary  are still  alive after 20 years, a new but similar plan is made for the beneficiary that will be amortized for 5 years

Inquiries have been made to AAI for this simplified product plan

More prepaid memorial services - Prepaid Cremation Services

I just discussed with the supplier of crematorium that he owns  4 cremation machines and in partnership with several others for a total of 14.

He owns 4 in major centers of population such as Binan, Calamba, Navotas, Caloocan and La Loma.  He has in Baguio, Ilocos, Bataan, and Subic.

He is bothered by the fact that his partner have other enterprises and he needs to take over the operations and marketing to make him get his ROI.

I offered to:

1.  Fix his marketing pricing promotions and placement to up the sales

2.  Tie up with him for prepaid cremation services in those 14 location.
