You must manage customer expectations.

Managing customer expectations is one of the most important lessons we have learned to make, and keep, our customers happy. And happy clients are clients forever! One of the keys is really listening to what the customer wants. The other is to under-promise and over-deliver. We do not make promises that we cannot keep. By knowing our limits and being honest about them, we can deliver quality results without any setbacks to the customer. This is especially important when setting deadlines with our customers. It is always best to give a bit of wiggle room to avoid any customer disappointment.

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.”
