THIS YEAR’S BIG SURVEY asked respondents, “If you had to take a year away from your store and could only leave a one-sentence instruction for your employees, what would it be?” The answers ranged from wise to direct to humorous. And quite a few said their instruction would be “Call me!”, which seemed a bit like cheating to us. Here is a selection of other responses.

  • “Do what you love and it will never be work.”
  • “Treat every customer like you would want your mother to be treated.”
  • “Please don’t let the store burn down.”
  • “Remember to make customers, not sales.”
  • “Don’t forget to feed my frogs.”
  • “You all know what you’re doing, keep doing it.”
  • “May God help you.”
  • “Kick ass and it will be reflected in your paychecks.”
  • “Put your phones down!”
  • “Make sure the customer is happier when they leave the store than when they came in.”
  • “Open up, sell, lock up and repeat.”
  • “Do the right thing, say what you’ll do, and do what you say.”
  • “Please don’t let my children starve.”
  • “Behave yourselves but have fun, too.”
  • “Don’t f— around.”
  • “You only get one chance to make a good impression.”
  • “I trust you.”
  • “Don’t call me.”

Ready to Move? Let Wilkerson Lead the Way

When Brockhaus Jewelry planned their move to a new location in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman knew exactly who to call for their moving sale: Wilkerson. "Having worked with Wilkerson before, choosing them again made perfect sense," says Shipman. "And our second partnership was even better than the first." The sale exceeded expectations, thanks to Wilkerson's strategic approach - starting with Brockhaus's existing inventory before carefully supplementing with additional pieces. "They made everything simple," Shipman adds. "From the outstanding consultant to the detailed planning, the entire process was seamless." It's why both partners enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to fellow jewelers planning a move, remodel, or retirement sale.
