(PRESS RELEASE) DRAPER, UT – Lashbrook, award-winning men’s wedding ring manufacturer and designer, announces a new training program designed for sales associates of partnered stores.

“Lashbrook University is an opt-in email course designed to help our stores succeed in selling Lashbrook,” said Travis Isaacson, vice president of marketing and client training. “We’ve crafted the course to appeal to various learning styles and interest levels.”

“Lashbrook University is very simple,” said Isaacson. “Enroll in the course and learn to earn entries for weekly prize drawings.”

Each week participants are sent a short email lesson with tips and tricks of selling Lashbrook along with basic product knowledge. To earn entries for the weekly drawings, participants are asked to follow Lashbrook on social media, pass quizzes, sell Lashbrook rings and share photos of Lashbrook rings sold on social media.

Weekly prizes vary from gift cards, free lunches and movie tickets to Lashbrook product, weekend getaways and a $5,000 vacation.

“We’re excited to equip our partners with the tools and knowledge to succeed,” said Eric Laker, president and founder. “We’ve been asked to create a better training program for our stores and we believe Lashbrook University is the solution.”

Lashbrook University will be available to partnered stores this June.

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.”
