The Neatest Trick You’ve Ever Seen for Selling a Watch WHY IT IS TRUE: The way you remove a watch from the case, for example, and hand it to the customer sends a message to the customer about the significant value of that watch.

PLAN OF ACTION: Placing the watch on a glass countertop with one hand sends a signal to the customer that this watch is lower value. Holding the watch carefully with a Selvyt cloth and presenting it with both hands to the customer sends an entirely different message. Have your sales staff select a watch and, with both hands and a Selvyt cloth, hand it to someone else. Remind them to keep their attention focused on the piece they are presenting; this will draw their customer’s focus to the item.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
