Jewelry stores that instill good habits are successful jewelry stores, says marketing specialist Jimmy DeGroot. 

But all too often, jewelers accept the status quo, he explains in the video below. And the upshot of that is that they don’t train their people.

DeGroot encourages jewelry-store owners to commit time each week for this important activity.

“Do you know what a purposeful plan of training could do to your team?” he says. “What if you could get them to close just one more sale out of 10?  Or add on one more item out of five sales? Or get all of your below-average salespeople to raise up to average? Or have them just get along?”

The sessions could cover topics such as sales strategies, turnover signals, team selling, marketing and product knowledge.

“Set an agenda and put your people in charge of it,” he says. “You don’t have to do all the work.”

The key is to get started — and never stop.

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.”
