A male customer is checking out engagement rings and is balking at the prices. He says he thinks he can get a better price on the kind of diamond he wants on the world’s biggest auction website.

You say:

“You’d make one of the most important purchases of your life on eBay? You’re going to tell her that you bought the symbol of your love on eBay? Just give her half your stuff now, man …”

Why? This is a humorous way to hammer home the very important message that romance is a big part of the engagement ring-buying process.

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.”
