SCI recruits funeral sales as the career AI cannot replace

SCI recruits funeral sales as the career AI cannot replace

SCI's recruiting video positions funeral and cremation sales as a career resistant to automation by emphasizing the human trust required in end-of-life planning. The pitch frames the role as requiring both compassion and sales drive, targets people outside the industry, and leans on demographic demand from an aging population to argue for job stability.

  • 01More than 11,000 Americans turn 65 daily, SCI says demand will grow.
  • 02SCI seeks candidates with dual traits: compassion and empathy alongside sales-oriented drive and tenacity.
  • 03The role requires no prior industry experience; SCI provides training, coaching, and technology to prepare newcomers.

CURORI Details Readiness Framework for Planned Ten-City Expansion in China

CURORI, a China-based medical-aesthetic coordination platform founded in 2025, has outlined a readiness framework to expand its city coverage from five to ten Chinese destinations by the end of 2027. The expansion will be phased around provider and service readiness rather than destination count alone, with review areas including qualified doctors, licensed institutions, procedure categories, communication processes, and practical factors for international users.

  • 01CURORI plans to expand from five currently served cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou) to ten by December 31, 2027, with Chengdu, Xi'an, Wuhan, and two additional locations under evaluation.
  • 02The company's readiness framework requires operational checks across provider qualifications, licensed institutions, procedure availability, assessment requirements, communication processes, quotation clarity, appointment coordination, and follow-up arrangements before launching in new cities.
  • 03CURORI has a separate objective to help reduce client costs by approximately 10% by the end of 2026 through comparison, clearer quotation information, free initial coordination, and future incentives.
