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.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
