Sales Truths : Failure Is Not Falling Down, But Staying Down

BY DAVID RICHARDSON

Published in the December 2011 issue.

WHY IT IS TRUE: Everyone is going blow a sale. In fact, if you are really a sales professional, you can expect to blow
many sales in your career. Selling is a business of successes and failures.

PLAN OF ACTION: If you blow a good sale, step back and carefully evaluate what just happened and why. If you can’t
get your mind around it, share your thoughts with a fellow staffer or even your manager. Put it behind you, and jump
into the next sale with passion and energy. After all, you are a pro! — DAVE RICHARDSON

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
