Sometimes when business publications provide lists of things that salespeople in a specific industry shouldn’t say to their customers, there might be some doubt in your mind … “Hey, I like that line. I think that might actually work.”

In this case, there’s no such doubt. We’re absolutely sure about this. You should never, ever, EVER make any of the following 20 statements to a living, breathing customer. Assuming you want them to continue being customers, of course.

We’ll be publishing these in groups of four in coming weeks. Keep an eye out for the full set of “20 Top Things You Should Never Say to Customers.” (To make sure you get them all, be sure to sign up for INSTORE Bulletins at instoremag.com/bulletins.)

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
