The Perfect Day for Compliments … and More Events for January

No one wants a pat on the head just for showing up. On NATIONAL COMPLIMENT DAY (Jan. 24), take your praise to a higher level: Be precise, be generous and cast a wide net. And don’t just save the kind words for your customers. Ring up a reporter and tell him you found his article helpful, tell a vendor you appreciate his educational efforts, and tell a new salesperson you liked the way she handled a turnover. Praise is just about the best way to modify behavior — and it’s free and inexhaustible.

Jan. 08 On SHOW AND TELL DAY AT WORK, ask each staffer to pick out their favorite piece in the store, and at the next store meeting, do a presentation on what it is that excites them about it. 

Jan. 24 Need a historical peg on which to hang a gold promotion? Today is the 170TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN CALIFORNIA.

Jan. 28 On the 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF FANTASY ISLAND’S PREMIERE invite your clients to fill out a Fantasy Wish List for 2018. One lucky person gets her wish; the rest get follow-up phone calls from dream master Mr. Roarke (that’s you).

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.”
