Like the Tires of a Car, One Flat Salesperson Can Ruin the Experience

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.

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.”
