Customer Service Managers

Customer Service Managers play a very important part in the community. They are trusted by families to look after their loved ones and to make sure that arrangements for the funeral are carried out in accordance with the wishes of the family.

Often working in a very small team, roles and positions often overlap but here is a brief look at the types of work carried out by customer service managers at Avalon.

The CSM is usually the first point of contact for a family. He or she will meet the family at their home. The CSM makes sure the family understands all the things that need to be decided, and importantly make sure they understand all the choices available to them. They must also explain how much the funeral plan will cost and provide written confirmation of costs and arrangements. Pre-paying for your funeral is the most popular way of protecting from the costs of life's final event.

The CSM must be career-minded, target driven and a good listener which is why direct sales experience is preferred.

Earning potentials are in excess of £30k per annum for professional and committed CSMs.

Opportunities are available throughout the UK and Europe.
