True Tales: Bentley (the Dog) Acts Badly

Published

on

I always bring my Shih-Tzu, Bentley, to work with me. My clients love him. He is always so friendly and makes them feel welcome. Well, one day this couple brought their son, who looked to be about 6 years old, into the store. We are sitting there and I’m trying to sell them wedding bands and my darling dog Bentley hops up on their son’s leg and starts humping away! The little boy doesn’t know what he’s doing and just bursts into laughter. My face was bright red! The couple was trying to keep a straight face because I’m sure they didn’t want to get into a discussion of the birds and the bees. After a struggle, the mother managed to get Bentley off his leg and well, he just jumped up again and kept going at it. The fiancé finally said, “Well, we might as well let him finish.” They still bought the wedding bands from me.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
