Linetime: I’m Not Sure About That …

“I’m not sure about that,
but I think we can do this.”

WHEN TO SAY IT: For example, you have a customer who wants to return a piece she’s obviously been wearing for several months. Rather than giving in to her demand, offer her something that is doable and fair, perhaps an offer to trade it in or to consign it for her. This allows you to be comfortable with your store’s position, while the customer will (should) warm to the idea. Just because something isn’t a person’s first option doesn’t mean it’s a bad one.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
