I’m sorry but come on - funeral homes business is death.
I realize that but asking some receptionist off the top of their head if they noticed a ten percent increase in business over the last year is not an accurate metric. That kind of variation probably isn't even perceptible by staff unless they're going out of their way to measure it.
I understand what she's getting at, she's probably right, and this is a good vector to try and prove it, but not by just cold-calling funeral homes asking if they feel like there was a ten percent increase in business over the last year. That's not a valid data point. She needs to find hard numbers.
If you're not going accept sketchy data off of the other side, you can't accept it off of ours either. That's called confirmation bias.
You are saying all this based on zero working knowledge of operations in the industry you are commenting on
I don't need to have worked in the funeral industry to know that just cold-calling businesses and asking the first person who picks up the phone if off the top of their head they feel like they had a 10% increase in business over the last year isn't valid data that you can base a conclusion on.
Get back to me when you have real data, Because this isn't going to convince any skeptic and is therefore useless.
