Premier Preneed Marketing has announced the hiring of a new director of learning and development, Stacy Galvan. In her new role, Galvan will be responsible for working with current team members to educate and train current accounts, as well as helping to build new relationships and prospects with funeral homes and preneed counselors to help them better serve families in their community.

During her career in funeral service, Galvan has held key preneed sales and training positions at several companies, including funeral homes, cemeteries and a preneed insurance company. She possesses the skills and technical knowledge to design and deliver efficient training for agents to be successful in selling prearranged funeral plans.

“Stacy is a proven leader in the area of learning and professional development,” stated Jeff Wright, vice president of preneed at Premier. “With Premier Preneed Marketing’s continued growth, Stacy will play a critical role in leading our efforts to design, develop and execute corporate learning programs using innovative approaches for training. This includes training programs with our all-in-one sales and marketing suite, the Premier Preneed 360 Platform.”

“I’ve seen firsthand what sales training can do for people. As I’ve grown my career, learning and professional development has become a passion of mine,” commented Galvan. “When the opportunity arose to follow this passion for helping to train others and to do so by joining a great company like Premier Preneed, I jumped at it. I could not be more excited to join the company.”

With the addition of Galvan as director of learning and development, Premier Preneed is well positioned to continue to take its training, sales and sales support programs to new heights. Earlier this year, Premier added Michelle Fong as business development manager to help provide and implement high-quality solutions for Premier funeral home partners.
