(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — The Plumb Club announces that Erik Qualman, best-selling author and the #1 speaker on digital leadership, will present “Why Digital Leaders Aren’t Digital” on Wednesday, March 9th at 2pm eastern time as part of the month-long festivities kicking off the launch of the Jewelers Resource Center.

Qualman will illustrate that, with the massive virtual shift that has occurred over the past 2 years, the key is understanding the powerful harmony between offline and online. He will showcase that, while technology changes every second, human nature never does. Attendees will learn digital leadership habits to stay ahead of competition, but never head of customers. Additionally, Qualman will showcase 5 habits that drive success for employees, partners, clients and consumers, while revealing new techniques for becoming a better leader, while positively impacting and transforming an organization.

“As part of the Jewelers Resource Center launch festivities, we are delighted to present Erik Qualman, a speaker whose prominence resounds throughout the digital world”, said Sam Sandberg, president of The Plumb Club. “The past two years have well taught the business community the importance of growing a virtual strategy. Erik Qualman is a leading voice in that area”.

Qualman is a best-selling author and keynote speaker and has spoken in 55 countries and reached 50 million people. His Socialnomics work has been covered from “60 Minutes” to “The Wall Street Journal” and is used by the National Guard and NASA. He has been listed by Forbes and Fortune as a top 100 digital influencer. His business books are used in over 200 universities and he has received an honorary doctorate for his groundbreaking work.

Following the presentation retail attendees will be given the opportunity to participate in a fun scavenger hunt and potentially receive multiple prizes that range from Dom Perignon champagne and Godiva chocolate to facilitated in store sales training and an expert website analysis and report.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
