Build "relationship" with your AD? Can?

[116520]

I think the problem with ADs is that they also try to act as if they are treating you very nice by giving you freebies, so-called good discount...but in fact they are giving it to everyone...

Oceanklassik, you reminded me of one experience with my AD years back... I bought a Rolex from them and was given 15% discount. That "very nice" saleperson said it is a very special discount and is only given to me because I am a "special" customer of them. The worst is, he told me not to tell anyone about the amount of discount that was given to me. A few months later, my friend want to buy the same watch and since that "very nice" saleperson is so nice, I recommended my friend to look for him. In the end, he got the same discount as mine and that was his first purchase from that AD... mind you, I didn't tell my friend the discount I got. I then I asked myself, "Am I so naive?"

Got to know WOS AD from friend. AD and friend very close relationship because friend is regular. We were introduced. Trusted friend's recommendation and AD. Approached AD w/o doing homework and immediately bought a watch from him, thinking I got the best discount. WRONG! Found out later that any walk-in customer gets the same, if not better discount. Blame myself for being a sucker.

1) true true.

2) if i were you, i would have insisted for free.

3) yeah. i agree with you it is sales tactic. however, i would have move on to a different SE. so far, my SE yet to pull this kind of service. in fact, limited edition of hublot, brought to my attention several times in the end also no buy. but the SE still bring and show me if i happen to drop by and there is one inside the safe.

1. with the money I saved buying from PIs, I can subscribe 5 years of watch magazines send to my doorstep.
2. how come I have to pay for my leather straps for my PAM from my AD?
3. I can always "cut queue" by paying the premium ADs is asking for those limited edition watches... they will always say,"let me check my safe, OH, you're paying cash... let me see, HA, there is one, please wait for 10 minutes" and you will see a big smile on their faces....

most of the time, my SE will ask me for urself or friend, discount structure confirm not the same as mine. however, on the day itself, depends on bargaining skills lor.

however, i know of one particular AD which if you pay cash, the discount really fantastic one.

hi

for my views i think no need build good relationship. it bull****. as long as u got money, they will sell u. they wont because u r a loyal customer they sell u rare piece or cheaper. no such things 1. they will chop u even more cause easy to earn money from u

[benhur]

no la. think in their shus. u got gd customer, u cherish or nt. u got lousy customer but always buy frm u then how le? then u got some customer seldom buy but intro lots of customer to buy then how?
