Rejection Happens. Forget About It.

WHY IT IS TRUE: The jewelry industry is a place of many remarkable rewards, but also lost sales. Don’t take it personally; just move on.

PLAN OF ACTION: All of us have gone into a store to purchase a blouse, suit, a pair of slacks, etc. and at the moment of commitment, made the decision (for whatever reason) not to buy. Now, were you rejecting the merchandise, or were you rejecting the salesperson? If your customer is clearly not going to buy, forget the time you invested in the sale, give them your card, and invite them to come back for other needs they may have.

David Richardson is a certified professional speaker and a consultant to retail jewelers and manufacturers worldwide helping them grow their diamond bridal engagement business.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
