IF YOU’VE BEEN KEEPING UP with the Gene the Jeweler series, you know that Gene doesn’t exactly train his people. And predictably, that leads to problems in his store …

In this episode, we learn about an employee we’ll call Tardy Jeremy. Jeremy’s chronic failure to come in on time is creating a “burning, shared, semi-murderous resentment.” 

Gene has talked with Jeremy about the problem “in passing” but hasn’t tackled it head-on. Still, he’s convinced that things will get better — somehow. He’s not at all ready to let Jeremy go.

Gene is, of course, a parody created by jewelry marketing specialist Jimmy DeGroot. The series is kind of like a jewelry-industry version of The Office.

But in many jewelry stores, these types of issues are anything but fiction.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
