Podcast Highlight: Why Do So Many Jewelers Love to Complain About Their Customers?

WHY DO SO MANY jewelers love to complain about their customers? It’s one of the pet peeves of Ben Smithee, CEO of digital consultancy The Smithee Group.

In the latest episode of The Barb Wire, he shares his exasperation with host Barbara Palumbo. Addressing a hypothetical complaining jeweler, he says: “Dude, you own a business. These are the people who are driving your business. Why do you complain about the people who are putting you in a pretty good situation financially? Even on a bad year.”
