Some people are naturally good with people.
They’re comfortable starting a conversation with someone they’ve never met. They ask good questions. They remember details. If they say they’ll call someone back, they do it. And they don’t need a manager constantly reminding them about the things that simply need to get done.
If that sounds like you, keep reading.
At Kiefer Jewelers, we’re looking for more than someone who can stand behind a counter and sell jewelry. We’re looking for someone who wants to build relationships, develop a clientele and become the person customers ask for when something important is happening in their lives.
An engagement. An anniversary. A birthday. A celebration. Sometimes just the perfect gift for someone they love.
That’s what makes this business special.
You don’t need jewelry experience to start here. But you do need to care about what we do.
Maybe you already love jewelry, fashion, design or craftsmanship. Maybe you’re fascinated by diamonds and gemstones. Or maybe what appeals to you is hearing people’s stories and helping them celebrate meaningful moments.
We can teach you jewelry. We can teach you diamonds and gemstones. We can help you develop your sales skills and even support continued education through GIA.
What we can’t teach is genuine curiosity, confidence with people, personal responsibility and the desire to get better.
This is also not a job where great income is simply handed to you.
Our compensation plan gives you something many jobs don’t: your income can grow as you grow.
You don’t have to wait for the next annual review to find out whether you earned a raise. As your skills improve, your product knowledge grows and your client relationships develop, you have the opportunity to earn more.
But you have to build it.
Our strongest sales consultants follow up. They keep their promises. They stay in touch with customers. They remember important occasions. They take responsibility for developing relationships instead of simply waiting for the next customer to walk through the door.
Over time, customers begin asking for them by name.
That’s when this becomes much more than a retail job. It becomes a career and a business you’ve helped build within Kiefer Jewelers.
A few things you should know:
