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.

Thinking of Liquidating? Wilkerson’s Got You Covered

Bil Holehan, the manager of Julianna’s Fine Jewelry in Corte Madera, Calif., decided to go on to the next chapter of his life when the store’s owner and namesake told him she was set to retire. Before they left, Holehan says they decided to liquidate some of the store’s aging inventory. They chose Wilkerson for the sale. Why? “Friends had done their sales with Wilkerson and they were very satisfied,” says Holehan. He’d enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to anyone looking to stage a liquidation or going-out-of-business sale. “There were no surprises,” he says. “They were very professional in their assessment of our store, what we could expect from the sale and they were very detailed in their projections. They were pretty much on the money.”
