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? Think: Wilkerson

When Peter Reines, owner of Reines Jewelers in Charlottesville, VA, decided it was time to turn over the “reins” of his 45-year-old business to Jessica and Kevin Rogers, he chose Wilkerson to run his liquidation sale. It was, he says, the best way to maximize the return on his decades-long investment in fine jewelry. Now, with new owners at the helm, Reines can relax knowing that the sale was a success, and his new life is financially secure. And he’s glad he partnered with Wilkerson for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “There’s just no way one person or company could run a sale the way we did,” he says.
