Why Some Funeral Agents Rise While Others Stay Stagnant
By - Jeremy G
Success Isn’t Random—It Follows a Pattern
In any field, some professionals rise while others stay stuck.
The funeral industry is no different.
You see funeral agents who struggle year after year, relying on outdated methods, and then you see top performers who consistently close high-value deals, lead teams, and expand their influence.
So what separates the two? It’s not luck. It’s the system.
And here’s the real question: Are you willing to bet your future on a team that isn’t growing?
The Harsh Truth About Choosing the Wrong Agency
❌ Leadership isn’t developing people.
❌ No demand for new leaders = no upward mobility.
❌ You’ll be stuck waiting for promotions that may never come.
A stagnant agency is like a stagnant stock—no returns, no upside, and a slow decline.
The best way to predict your future success is to look at who has already succeeded in that agency.
The One Award That Proves Real Success
There’s a lot of noise in this industry.
Some agencies host their own “awards nights”—a self-promotion tactic designed to confuse the public into thinking they’re top performers.
✅ The Nirvana Star Award is the only official award issued by Nirvana Asia to recognise top-performing agents.
🚫 Other agency-hosted-awards are self-promotion tactics.
If an agency leader hasn’t received the Nirvana Star Award, they’re just another agent claiming to be successful.
Would you trust a surgeon who gave themselves a 'Best Doctor' award? Of course not.
The same logic applies here.
Our leader, Dave, is a Nirvana Star Award recipient. That’s why people who are serious about success choose us.
A Track Record of Developing Leaders—Not Just Funeral Agents
If you want to know where you’ll be in five years, look at the people ahead of you.
Our agency has:
✅ Produced 3 Business Development Directors—not just agents, but real leaders.
✅ Consistently won Nirvana’s official awards (not self-made recognition).
✅ Built a system where agents don’t just sell—they scale.
The most effective way of becoming great is to emulate the greats.
But not all greats are created equal.
They must know how to coach to bring out the best in you!
We don’t just build businesses. We build people.
Every week, our leaders and associates muster to debrief, exchange insights, and refine best practices.
We analyse what’s working. We apply lessons learned. And we pivot strategically to optimise our system for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
We organise our efforts to deliver on our promises.
We don’t rely on guesswork. We leverage collective wisdom to win.
And if that excites you, you might be one of us.
The Difference? We Attract Winners.
We don’t accept just anyone. Those who can't keep up drop out.
We attract and train associates who share our values—people who go beyond logistics to provide real support when families need it most.
Our top performers come from highly competitive backgrounds—people who always had substance, intelligence, and work ethic but were undervalued in office politics.
You know the feeling.
You had the right idea in the room, but it came from the wrong person—so it got ignored.
Then months later, someone with better “visibility” said the same thing and got all the credit.
If that sounds familiar, you’re our kind of person.
We don’t play office politics. WE PLAY TO WIN.
Are You One of Us?
We’re the best at what we do because we’re laser-focused on it.
We don’t settle for average. We only work with people who have total faith and self-confidence in following a system that works.
If you’re someone who:
✅ Believes you have the substance and intelligence to succeed.
✅ Knows you deserve more than office politics and waiting for the next pay raise.
✅ Wants to be part of a high-performing team with a proven track record.
Let’s talk.
