(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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
