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.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
