A JEWELER like Gene Kadlin, who doesn’t know how to manage or delegate, will often find himself in deep … stuff.

And that’s exactly what happens in the latest episode of the Gene the Jeweler video series. Literally.

A certain customer keeps clogging the store’s toilet. And we use the word “customer” liberally. There’s no indication that she actually buys anything.

Gene has just fixed the latest clog himself.

“It’s my shop,” he says. “I have a lot of employees, but they’ve got other things to do. They’re busy.”

And Gene is starting to suspect this customer has been busy, as well — running a bit of a scam.

You could say the whole situation stinks.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
