“I’m glad you researched this; it’s going to make my job easier.”

When to say it? To the customer who says “I saw it on the Internet for less.”

Why say it? It’s a compliment and re-establishes your ground as the expert. Go on to inform your customer that each of your diamonds has been personally selected, and that each has to meet strict tolerances. Remind them further that diamond buyers purchase based on beauty, not lab report criteria — that two diamonds with similar characteristics can appear totally different to the naked eye.

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.”
