I often begin writing a post not as a journalist (because I’m not), but as someone who has spent a lot of time selling watch replica es replica.

 

So here are my professional tips for choosing the right sales professional for your needs.

Motivation

It’s natural that salespeople want to make sales. But truly great salespeople don’t care if a sale is made the first time you walk in the store or a few months or even years from then.

Whether or not I am actually walking into a store to purchase or simply to browse, I always let the salesperson know my intent. Perhaps I am not ready to purchase today, but I am looking to see what watch replica I may be buying in a few months.

I do this to see if the salesperson brushes me off and walks away or wants to build a rapport. If he or she walks away, then I know that the motivation is to only to put some immediate cash in the pocket.

If he or she stays and strikes up conversation, then I know the goal is to gain a client. The rapport that is developed in the first 15 minutes is critical.

After initially writing the first few lines of this post, I quickly deleted them because I realized that I had angled them toward telling you how to become a great watch replica salesperson.

That, of course, wouldn’t be of much use to the vast majority of readers.

But then I thought what might be useful is to learn how to choose a great watch replica salesperson when you’re looking to purchase a watch replica or even get one serviced.

A great salesperson treats you as a good customer, which makes you feel like a good customer even if you buy nothing at all on your first visits.

 

Build a rapport

Many of my best friends today were clients before they were friends.

I’m not telling you to go into a watch replica store looking for a BFF. However, purchasing a watch replica can be a pricey outing, and it should be pleasurable. If a salesperson takes the time to ask some personal questions, showing interest above and beyond the watch replica are you looking for, it’s a good indication that they want to build a rapport with you.

A way to gauge their interest in you is to stop back a week or two later. If you are greeted by name, it’s more than probable they are interested in you as a potential long-term client and not just a quick sale.

An even better sign is if you are asked about your dog or the new Harley you’ve been dreaming of (and couldn’t stop talking about).

Build trust

Seemingly the most obvious of criteria, building trust is easily the most critical.

One of my first steps to determine the trustworthiness of a salesperson is to ask about a few different brands or watch replica es replica. If every brand or watch replica you mention is “fantastic” and “perfect for you,” walk away.

Honest objectivity and candidness goes a long way.

True story: at an annual watch replica gala that my store threw every year, a good client named Phil pulled me over to the counter of brand XYZ. Now this was a brand that chiefly offered stainless steel watch replica es replica that weren’t anything more than purchased movements put into purchased cases with XYZ stamped on the dial. They generally retailed for between $2,000 and $4,000.

 

Needless to say the brand’s sales rep was not happy.

Phil didn’t buy the XYZ that night. A few weeks later he returned and spent just shy of $50,000 on a perpetual calendar from a much more reputable brand. Before leaving with shopping bag in hand he turned and said, “John, I wouldn’t have purchased this watch replica today if I’d purchased that XYZ that night. I really appreciate your honesty and I’ll never buy a watch replica from anyone other than you.”

The sales representative for XYZ was standing nearby with an 18-karat pink gold skeletonized version of one of these “crappy” watch replica es replica for $18,000 in his hand.

Phil said, “I like it. What do you think?”

I paused for a moment, took the watch replica in my hand and said, “Phil, if you really like it, and you’re okay with it being worth $1,000 once you leave the store, then by all means, buy it. Otherwise I couldn’t in good conscience suggest that you purchase it.”

This anecdote only goes to show that you want to buy from someone who’ll tell you when they think a watch replica isn’t worth the money, even if it means not making a sale that day. You’ll trust them and return many times over in the future.

Final notes

It can often be difficult to find a great watch replica salesperson. When you do, and after you’ve built that trust and rapport and purchased a watch replica or two from him or her, write a review on Yelp or maybe a letter to the boss or corporate office.

People can be quick to complain and slow to compliment, and I too am often guilty of this. But a great review or praising letter goes a long way toward you getting the best watch replica you can afford.

Knowledge is power

 

One of the best answers he or she can give is, “That’s a great question. I’m not 100 percent sure, but let me find out for you.”

The reason that this is the best answer you can hear is because it shows that the salesperson is not going to come up with a BS answer for the sake of making a sale and that he or she is anxious to learn with you.

If the sales associate lies in any of the answers to you, walk away.

One of my favorite examples of this type of salesmen is a guy I came across while on vacation. Trying to get a sense of his product knowledge, I asked him about the most expensive watch replica in the store, which was a tourbillon.

“What exactly is the purpose of a tourbillon?” I asked. “It is the only kind of watch replica that will work on the moon,” he answered with pride.

Absence of product knowledge is a no-no in high-end watch replica es replica!

Granted, almost no sales associate knows every detail about the products that he or she sells, but he or she should know a lot of them.

The best way to check someone’s knowledge is to ask some questions to which you know the answers. But don’t play stump the salesperson because that’s just rude.

Inquire about the finish and whether the movement is in-house (and if not, what caliber does power the watch replica ). Listen for honest answers.

If I had had milk in my mouth, it would have shot out of my nose! He continued to explain that, “It can work in an atmosphere with no gravity, that’s why it’s so expensive.”

It’s a good thing I wasn’t looking to go to the moon or buy a tourbillon that day!

Do your research

This has as much to do with the store as it does the salesperson.

Do a few searches online. Consult Yelp or type the name of the store into a search engine along with the word “review.” Quite often you can find out how past and current clients feel about their experiences with the store. In those reviews you’ll often see references to individual salespeople.

“Joe was patient, listened carefully to what my wants were, and guided me to the perfect timepiece. If you’re looking to buy a watch replica , visit Joe!” is an example of what you should be hoping to find.

Also, inquire about the store policies. If you’re buying a gift, is there a return policy in case it isn’t the watch replica the person wants or they desired a stereo system instead? How does the store handle guarantee repairs?

These are important things you should know going into the purchase of a new watch replica .
