Sales Truths : There is no Romance in a Diamond.

BY DAVID RICHARDSON

Published in the January 2014 issue.

WHY IT IS TRUE: Romance is not a measurable commodity. Romance is fundamentally in the mind and heart of the customer. What the diamond will do for them, how it will help them to achieve their specific goals and objectives, and how to make that occasion very very special.

PLAN OF ACTION: Forget about romancing the stone and examine ways you can find romance in the customer’s heart. How is he really planning to propose? How will he make this anniversary or birthday gift one she will remember for a lifetime? If he doesn’t have an idea, help him come up with one. Make sure your sales staff all have several great proposal, anniversary, birthday, as well as other celebrated holidays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day etc. stories they’re prepared to share. The chances of losing the sale through price negotiation will be significantly reduced. — DAVE RICHARDSON

Wilkerson Testimonials

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.”
