WHY IT’S TRUE

When looking for a new car, I went to a dealership with a great reputation. But the salesman didn’t seem to know much about the product. I left and bought a car from a real expert. Your store’s image and reputation encourage prospects who are looking for a piece of jewelry to drop by. The perception is: This is a great store with diamond and jewelry experts. An expert does not immediately drop the four Cs or bore with technical knowledge. 

PLAN OF ACTION
Greet the customer in your normal friendly manner. Ask the customer questions that encourage her to discuss the reason for being in your store. First position yourself as the expert in the area of her greatest defined need. Then position your store and its benefits to support your expertise and the needs, wants and passions of your customer.

Wilkerson Testimonials

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
