John Kennedy, president of JSA, said, “It is very rare for JSA to venture outside the realm of crime prevention. However, JSA has felt the tremendous challenges faced by JSA’s 21,500 member businesses in securing quality and affordable health insurance, which can be one of a member’s largest business expenses. JSA believes that this program with MJM is the right solution for improving healthcare coverage options for its members, their families and employees.”

The program enables an 8-12% average healthcare coverage savings, and offers national coverage with every major carrier. In addition to cost savings, the program offers helpful assistance through a Health Advocate benefit, and on-demand, rapid healthcare advice through a Telehealth benefit.

Richard Reiman, VP employee benefits at MJM Global Insurance, said, “This partnership between JSA and MJM Global offers a solution to jewelry companies looking for access to competitive insurance rates.”

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.”
