WHY IT’S TRUE The emotional state you are in when you learn something is completely different from the emotional state when you use it.

PLAN OF ACTION You have attended numerous sales and business seminars and have taken copious notes only to return home and never look at them again. When you attend the SMART Jewelry Show — or any educational seminar — this year, make a firm commitment to carefully review your notes within 48 hours of returning home. More than just sharing with your staff the purchases you made, share your plan to put your newly acquired educational knowledge into action.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
