Her Story
About Talia
I started in cemetery sales about a month ago as a sales counselor at Catholic Cemeteries Association, focusing on pre-need funeral sales, customer service, genealogy, and grave locations. Before that I spent 20 years bartending. I earned my bachelor's in healthcare administration with a leadership specialization and a 3.929 GPA, plus partial master's studies in public health. I belong to the National Society of Leadership and Success and hold a life insurance license for potential future funeral planning work. My role involves lots of cold calling and building contacts through word of mouth.
