Member Quote

#Polygon has been diverse and unyielding tool for us over the years. From real time member-to-member support seven days a week to daily, multiple below-wholesale diamond and jewelry deals on the world famous Bargain Channel, to the plethora of avenues for selling our own inventory to dealers and jewelers around the country, Polygon has a monopoly on its array of useful applications.

Although the most compelling benefit to me could be the distinct edge I have against the competition in sourcing almost any jewelry-related good due to the wide variety of sources Polygon offers, the greatest value of membership is actually the close-knit Poly family to those who are really involved, where we are bonded in a unique relationship simply by virtue of sharing in the same online community. As it is sometimes remarked on the forum, if it came down to rent or Poly, we would choose Poly.

if they do they pay so little amount that it’s not an incentive.


Why do many jewelers opt not to pay commission?

  • They are just plain scared of the sales staff killing each other over a customer. (rules are needed to be set in place.
  • Some say it affects how the staff handles customers.
  • Many jewelers believe it might cost them too much to pay commission.
A heavy commission or bonus plan actually will cost you less and has a great chance of paying the staff more. Your costs as a percentage could drop and sales dollars could increase.
