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

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
