IN THIS EPISODE OF the satirical Gene the Jeweler series, Gene provides some insight into how he approaches sales.

OK, actually, he looks at a “circle of sales” diagram hanging on the wall and apparently makes everything up on the spot.

Gene’s problem is that he starts at the wrong place on the flowchart.

It’s almost as if Gene, a creation of marketing specialist Jimmy DeGroot, never studied sales methodology at all.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
