Best Year Ever
In 2023 Precoa’s Advance Funeral Planners generated a total of $559,606,120 in total Preneed sales volume beating our previous best year by over $67 Million! That number represents a total of 95,900 families served.
Thank you to each and every one of you and our funeral home partners who helped make 2023 a record breaking year.
It really was OKTOBERBEST!
Wow… Was für ein absolut unglaublicher Monat. WE DID IT!! It really started out as simply an ehrgeiziges (ambitious) Ziel to have our besten Monat ever. And it took the sheer determination of each of you to collectively have the größten (biggest) Monat EVER!
I think the thing that wirklich (truly) keeps this amazing effort and milestone in perspective is the reason we are doing this in the first place: protecting families with a vorab vereinbarten (prearranged) funeral. Precoa has never served as many families in a einzigen (single) month. And it is thanks to your efforts that that is the case.
Incredible Arbeit (work) and viel Glück (good luck) the rest of the Jahr (year)! Ihr seid fantastisch! 🌟💥

NAB Tomorrow!!
We are so excited for this!! Tomorrow is a big day as we want to continue to set the standard for the events!
The name of the game is simple: Set as many appointments on your own as possible! However, here are a couple FAQs to help you tomorrow so that you can have ultimate success tomorrow:
1. How long does the NAB last?
It is a 24hr event! Meaning, any appointment that is submitted in the webportal on the 23rd, will count toward the event. Keep in mind that calling during reasonable hours is key so that a family isn’t upset with someone calling at 11PM, for example… 8AM-8PM is what has been typical
2. How can I follow along?
Here is a link to the the official scoreboard: https://bit.ly/NABMay23
It is updated every hour! Feel free to keep it up and follow along!
3. What is the cash reward for the AFPs?
Here is the pay scale below… The short of it – If you want cash, follow along and get into the top-50!
| Finish | Cash Prize |
| 1st Place | $500 |
| 2nd – 5th Place | $250 |
| 6th – 10th Place | $200 |
| 11th – 20th Place | $150 |
| 21st – 30th Place | $100 |
| 30th – 50th Place | $50 |
Anybody tied with 50th place gets $50
4. What leads can I call on?
Any leads are game! However, the appointment set with the lead has to be legitimate and with the intent to help them come closer to pre plan or pre fund for a funeral. OAP appointments also count!
Good luck tomorrow! Please reach out to your Precoa Manager with any question you have!
Do you follow Precoa?
There’s a whole lot to like when you find Precoa on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn! You’ll see familiar faces and get another window into Precoa culture while staying up to date on happenings around the profession and beyond.
Tax Prep – What is 1099?
It’s tax season! Whether you are new to being a 1099 contractor, or you’ve been self-employed your whole career, it’s always a good idea to review what your tax status is and how it works. Advanced Funeral Planners at Precoa are 1099 contractors. You receive a 1099-MISC tax form from Precoa for your previous year’s earnings. IRS.gov has a lot of resources available for 1099 contractors. If you want a basic refresher on how taxes may work for you, check out this PDF.
