BY DAVID GELLER

Published in the October 2012 issue.

1Split staff into two teams.

2Develop sales goals and assign values in yardage, field goals and touchdowns. Examples: A $50 sale is five yards; a $100 sale, 10 yards; a $500 sale, a touchdown; a $1,000 sale, three touchdowns.

3All players start at the 50-yard line. Penalties are given to players and back staff. Examples: Delay of game (late for work, job not done on time), 15-yard penalty; illegal motion (improper paperwork), 5-yard penalty; offside (not following store procedures), 10 yards.

4Team goals are posted on a game board.

5The player with the most yardage receives a special MVP award.

It Was Time to Make a Decision. It Was Time to Call Wilkerson.

Except for a few years when he worked as an accountant, Jim Schwartz has always been a jeweler. He grew up in the business and after “counting beans” for a few years, he and his wife, Robin, opened Robin James Jewelers in Cincinnati, Ohio. “We were coming to a stage in our life where we knew we have to make a decision,” says Jim Schwartz. He and Robin wanted to do it right, so they called Wilkerson. The best surprise (besides surpassing sales goals)? “The workers and associations really care about helping us move out own inventory out of the store first. It was very important to us.”
