Recognizing the need for independent jewelers to have a structured and measured plan for management, Brad Huisken and Jimmy DeGroot are offering their sales management master classes quarterly. The fall class begins Sept. 14.

Huisken states, “We’re making this class available regularly throughout the year because stores change, personnel changes are inevitable and there’s always a reason to continue training.” The class is a 12-week Zoom training for one hour a week for managers and owners, helping them create a management plan with proven best practices.

“Every class we teach, we learn new reasons why we should be continuing,” says DeGroot. “A jeweler just called and asked when our next class is because even though he had been through the course, he wants his brand new manager to experience it.”

DeGroot and Huisken found that students are retaining more through the 12-week program, allowing them to attend a class and then put that one thing into practice throughout the week The price for the class is $1,995 per store. Past attendees of the class include owner/operators who want to create a system of management to create a more scalable business as well as high-volume, multi-site stores looking to train their managers to bring out the best in their employees.

John Matthews, owner of John Michael Matthews Fine Jewelry in Vero Beach, Florida, is a planner. As an IJO member jeweler, he knew he needed an exit strategy if he ever wanted to g the kind of retirement he deserved. He asked around and the answers all seemed to point to one solution: Wilkerson. He talked to Rick Hayes, Wilkerson president, and took his time before making a final decision. He’d heard Wilkerson knew their way around a going out of business sale. But, he says, “he didn’t realize how good it was going to be.” Sales goals were “ambitious,” but even Matthews was pleasantly surprised. “It looks like we’re going to double that.”
