This Customer Gave The Salesperson a $500 Tip

(During the pandemic) after a couple of months going back and forth on a custom design sketch (customer kept making changes), when the job was complete, my customer reached over and kissed my hand through his mask and gave me a $500 tip. He said I was very patient with him and his platinum and diamond band came out exactly as he envisioned it. Not to say but I took the tip happily. — Lyla Ismael, Lyla Jewelers, Oak Lawn, IL

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.”
