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.

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.”
