Sales Truths: You Cannot Manage Selling

WHY IT’S TRUE
Selling is not a manageable process. Selling is an event and an overall means to an end. It is not measurable or specific. The individual steps can be managed and, when properly aligned, produce closure to the process.
 


PLAN OF ACTION
Determine what is manageable, such as "showing." What if everyone in your store selects a favorite piece and shows it just two times each day. Not sells it, just shows it. What would this do for your business? They may not sell it, but they just might sell "something."
 
Don’t confuse the process by showing your favorite piece to everyone. This is not specific or measurable.  Show your favorite piece just twice each day and watch your sales soar.

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.”
