The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

It's incredible.

March 16th, I closed those stores.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

It's my birthday.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

Is it?

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

Yeah.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

Well, I was up at midnight for your birthday because I didn't sleep the night before.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

You know, I mean, it was.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

Well, and I had all these employees that I love.

The School of Greatness

They're my family.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

You know, at Kendra Scott, family is one of our core values.

And thinking about how are we going to keep our family in a good place?

The School of Greatness

How are we going to be there for our customer family?

The School of Greatness

You know, we have the sister rule at Kendra Scott.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

We treat her like our sister.

So it was, I'm like, girls, get on the phone, start calling our customers.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

We had elderly customers that instead of us asking them what they wanted to buy in jewelry, we were delivering food to their doorsteps.

The School of Greatness

We really started to reach out and just say, we've built a connection with our customer.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

And I think for anybody that sells anything, it's doing anything with a retail service mind, make a connection first and the transaction will follow.

The School of Greatness
Why I Cried Myself to Sleep Running a Billion-Dollar Brand

But when you're so focused on transaction, you lose the connection and you don't have that, especially when bad things happen.

The School of Greatness

Our connection with our customer was so strong over the last 20 years.
