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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
