The Top 10 Factors for Selecting the Best Permanent Jewelry Training Company

how to start a permanent jewelry business

Starting a permanent jewelry business is one of the most exciting entrepreneurial opportunities available today. But with so many training companies popping up across the industry, how do you know which one will actually set you up for success?

At LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training, we've been in this industry since 2022 and have trained thousands of successful students. Our owners, Jake Randolph and Tony Cruz, bring over seven years of marketing agency experience to the table, helping permanent jewelry artists not just learn the craft, but build thriving, profitable businesses.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the 10 most important factors to consider when choosing a permanent jewelry training company. Whether you're just starting your research or you're ready to make a decision, this guide will help you avoid costly mistakes and choose a training program that delivers real results.

Why Paid Training Beats Free YouTube Videos Every Time

Before we dive into what to look for in a training company, let's address the elephant in the room: why pay for training when there's so much "free" content available online?

Here's the honest truth that took Jake six years to figure out: free training rarely leads to action. You might download every free course, save hundreds of YouTube videos, and bookmark countless blog posts, but without financial investment, there's no accountability. When you invest your hard-earned money into training, you're making a commitment to yourself and your future success.

At LINKED, we've personally invested over $100,000 in our own education and masterminds in just the past year. Why? Because we know that the most valuable information, the strategies that actually move the needle in your business, aren't given away for free. The "juice" that makes the difference between a struggling business and a profitable one is found in comprehensive, paid training programs.

Factor #1: Real Business and Marketing Experience

The first thing you should investigate when evaluating any training company is this: what kind of business or marketing background do the trainers actually have?

This is crucial because permanent jewelry isn't just about welding chains together. If that's all there was to it, everyone would be successful. The reality is that most people can learn the welding basics in a single day. The real challenge and the key to long-term success lies in knowing how to build, market, and scale a profitable business.

At LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training, both Jake and Tony come from a proven marketing background. We've been running a successful marketing agency for seven years, helping thousands of clients grow their businesses across various industries. This isn't just theory for us it's practical, tested experience that we bring directly to our students.

The number one factor that determines success in any business, in any industry, is whether you have the attention of your consumers. Everything starts with marketing. You have to have an audience to sell to before you can sell anything. That's been the key to all our client success they all have audiences, and we teach our students exactly how to build theirs.

We don't just teach you how to weld jewelry. We teach you how to get clients, how to foster relationships, how to generate repeat business, and how to build a marketing system that consistently brings in new customers. Because at the end of the day, you're not starting a hobby you're starting a business.

Factor #2: Complete Business System Training

Learning to weld is just one small piece of building a successful permanent jewelry business. What you really need is a complete business system that covers every aspect of running a profitable operation.

A complete business system should teach you:

  1. How to attract the right clients - Not just any clients, but the ones who value your work and are willing to pay premium prices
  2. How to foster client relationships - Building trust and connection that leads to repeat business
  3. How to generate repeat customers - Creating systems that bring clients back again and again
  4. How to get referrals - Turning happy customers into your best marketing team
  5. How to understand your numbers - Knowing what's selling, what's not, what's seasonal, and how to price for maximum profitability

These business fundamentals are what separate successful permanent jewelry artists from those who struggle to make ends meet. Unfortunately, most training companies focus too heavily on the technical aspects of welding and completely ignore the business side.

At LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training, we're excited to say that we teach all of these elements because we understand that your success depends on much more than just knowing how to operate a welder. We help you build a complete, sustainable business.

Don't leave your success to chance.

Factor #3: Both Hands-On and Online Training Options

Different people learn in different ways, and the best training companies recognize this by offering both online and hands-on learning opportunities.

While many of our students have tremendous success with just our online training, we often see that they benefit from additional hands-on support to really master techniques like using jump rings, welding jump rings, and understanding different machine settings.

At LINKED, we operate out of a 5,000 square foot facility in Orlando, Florida, with a dedicated training space where we host monthly in-person trainings. This means that anytime you need a refresher or want hands-on guidance, you can come train with us directly.

This is a huge advantage over trainers who operate out of random hotels around the country or don't have a permanent facility. Those trainers simply don't have the time or resources to provide ongoing hands-on support when you need it.

When evaluating training companies, make sure they have:

  1. A permanent training facility
  2. Regular hands-on training sessions
  3. The ability to provide ongoing support
  4. A solid reputation in the industry

Don't settle for trainers who are here today and gone tomorrow. Choose a company with the infrastructure to support your long-term success.

Factor #4: Proven Student Results

Anyone can claim they have a great training program, but what really matters is results. Look for training companies that can show you documented success stories from real students.

At LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training, we have thousands of success stories that we're proud to share. We've been in business since 2022, and our students have absolutely crushed it in their businesses.

Here are just a few examples:

  • We have students making $50,000 per month
  • Lisa, a struggling nurse who had no clients in permanent makeup, trusted our system and generated over $200,000 in profit in her first year alone
  • Countless students have scaled from $3,000-$6,000 per month to consistent $10,000+ months using our strategies

You can see tons of these success stories on our YouTube channel, LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training. But here's the key: don't just rely on one testimonial or one referral. That person might just be an affiliate trying to make a commission. Look for training companies with tons of reviews and documented success stories.

The proof is in the results, and we're confident that our track record speaks for itself.

Factor #5: Strong Community Support

Starting and running a business can be lonely, challenging, and emotionally demanding. Even if you've started businesses before, you know that entrepreneurship comes with ups and downs, frustrations, and obstacles that test your resolve.

Having a strong support system around you can make the difference between giving up when things get tough and pushing through to success. Look for training companies that provide ongoing community support with other successful business owners who can encourage you, help you solve problems, and share strategies that work.

But be careful here not all communities are created equal. A Facebook group where people have time to hang out all day probably isn't filled with the most successful business owners. Look for communities where members are actively building and scaling their businesses, not just talking about it.

At LINKED, our community is focused on action and results. Our members are crushing it in their businesses and are available to help support each other's growth.

Factor #6: Top-Tier Starter Kits

A quality starter kit can make or break your business in the beginning. If you don't have the right tools and supplies from day one, costs can quickly add up. Before you know it, you're thinking "Oh no, I need to order this, and this, and that," and your budget is already in the negative.

Find a training company that provides a complete starter kit put together by experts. This way, you have all the tools you need right in front of you from the start. Instead of wasting time and energy trying to figure out what to buy and where to get it, you can focus on what really matters: marketing your business, getting clients, and booking events.

At LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training, we've put together comprehensive starter kits based on our years of experience and the feedback from thousands of successful students. You get everything you need to start your business immediately.

Factor #7: Ongoing Coaching and Support

Here's a critical question: do you want to figure everything out on your own and waste years trying to piece together a successful business, or do you want to follow a proven blueprint that gives you a clear roadmap to success?

At LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training, we provide 90 days of coaching to our students. This gives you a clear roadmap on exactly how to grow and scale your business, from finding your first event to fostering relationships that lead to repeat customers.

Let us give you a specific example: last year, we taught a strategy called "PJ Tasting" in one of our coaching programs. We've had so many testimonials from jewelry artists who were making $3,000 to $6,000 per month who used this one strategy to scale to consistent $10,000+ months.

Little strategies like this can be life-changing for your business. Make sure you choose a training company that provides ongoing coaching, weekly support, and one-on-one help when you need it.

Factor #8: Reliable Supply Chain Access

Some training companies that frankly cut corners will just give you a list of affiliate links and tell you to "go buy from this company and that company." Often, these aren't even good recommendations the company is just trying to make money off affiliate commissions.

At LINKED, we stock all the supplies you'll ever need, and we provide our students with lifetime discounts. While other people have to pay higher prices, our students get discounted rates so they can continue to be profitable as they grow their businesses.

One of the biggest advantages of LINKED Permanent Jewelry Training is that we buy in bulk larger than pretty much anybody else in the industry. This means we get pricing that really no one else can match, and we love to pass those savings on to our students.

This is a huge benefit that can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your business.

Factor #9: Done-For-You Marketing Materials

As marketers who have seen the impact of great businesses that fail because they don't have clients, we know this truth: you can have all the right chains, the perfect machine, and everything else in place, but if you don't have clients, you don't have money.

At LINKED, we provide done-for-you marketing materials including:

  • Canva templates
  • Inventory trackers
  • Pricing sheets
  • Website templates
  • Professional photography
  • Branding materials

This saves our students hours and hours of time and frustration. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on professional photography and branding, you get marketing materials created by the best marketers in the industry that you can use directly in your business from day one.

We've seen our students who literally started their business and were taking clients and booking events on day one because they had these done-for-you marketing materials that made marketing easy and effective.

The reason our marketing materials are so effective is that Jake actually owns the number one marketing agency in the permanent jewelry industry. This means we can see what's working in advertising, what's working in social media posts, and we can translate that directly to our students with a simple message: "Here's what's working go make money with it."

Factor #10: Focus on Skills, Safety, and Scaling

When you're growing your business, you need a training company that has the capacity to support you properly. If you sign up with a one-person operation, you're not going to get the best support. You won't have someone who can get on a call with you anytime to give you feedback and help you troubleshoot problems.

At LINKED, we have a full in-house team dedicated to helping our clients grow. We literally have team members who will get on Zoom calls with you to help with machine troubleshooting issues and welding problems. We don't know any other company that provides this level of support.

When you become a LINKED student, you get your own customer success coach someone you can rely on and lean on. This personalized support is really the key to scaling your business successfully.
