WHY IT IS TRUE: He is in unfamiliar territory, buying an engagement ring, and somewhat nervous about what is going to be expected of him.

PLAN OF ACTION: Put him at ease. Get him speaking about some of his successes in life. Perhaps he was a high school or college football player. If so, encourage him to share some of his successes. Ask him how he plans to propose. If he is interested, share with him some of your success stories.

Downsizing? Wilkerson Is Here to Help

Orin Mazzoni, Jr., the owner of Orin Jewelers in Garden City and Northville, Michigan, decided it was time to downsize. With two locations and an eye on the future, Mazzoni asked Wilkerson to take the lead on closing the Garden City store. Mazzoni met Wilkerson’s Rick Hayes some years back, he says, and once he made up his mind to consolidate, he and Hayes “set up a timeline” for the sale. Despite the pandemic, Mazzoni says the everything went smoothly. “Many days, we had lines of people waiting to get in,” he says, adding that Wilkerson’s professionalism made it all worthwhile. “Whenever you do an event like this, you think, ‘I’ve been doing this my whole life. Do I really need to pay someone to do it for me?’ But then I realized, these guys are the pros and we need to move forward with them.”
