Spiff of The Month: Team Competition

BY DAVID GELLER

Published in the November 2012 issue.

Salespeople aren’t the only ones who help make the holidays merry. There are the jewelers, part-time wrappers (with their smiles or frowns), the admin staffers who answer the phone, call in orders, check on customer work, etc.

1Divide the store into teams. Put backroom staff on a team with sales staff. Each team has salespeople, a jeweler (if you have more than one), bookkeeper, etc.

2Offer a bunch of prizes that get split up or duplicated for everyone on the winning team.

3Prizes can be money, products, gift certificates or, even better: The winning team gets dinner at a fancy restaurant in January to reward themselves.

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.”
