WHY IT’S TRUE Whether it’s football, basketball, baseball, or any sport for that matter, it’s all about points. Whether it is points scored, the point spread, or just getting strokes on the golf course, men are inherently focused on points. Men believe they can build points to avoid or even escape the proverbial doghouse.

PLAN OF ACTION The guy who stayed way too long playing cards with his buddies at the golf course is now seriously in the doghouse and needs a nice gift to extricate himself. He knows from experience the look he’s going to get at home when he walks through the door but is convinced that he can immediately build some points with a nice piece of jewelry. When he explains the situation, you might respond with a twinkle in your eye by saying, “Sounds like you need to build some points, and fast.” Now he knows that you understand. He may not buy the most expensive piece in the store, but he’s almost sure to buy something.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
