Tip: A Sales Machine Needs Four Good Tires

WHY IT IS TRUE: There are four wheels on a car. If one is flat, the car won’t drive well. It’s the same in your jewelry store. If one team member is flat, the store will quickly need to “fill the spare tire.”

PLAN OF ACTION: Each of your salespeople must “hear it, learn it, internalize it, and practice it,” and then be observed doing it in practice as well as live presentations. There are many remarkable ideas, strategies, and great solutions for developing and closing sales. Work with your team closely. The goal is simply to continually move your excellent business forward with skilled sales professionals who represent you effectively.

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.”
