Before or after the wine and chocolate?

Hard to say, do they like home cooked curry?

Perhaps you should do a survey on them and figure out their culinary preference. This way you can do this thing perfectly and not offend them.

there is more curry shops than probably any other food in London for sure. Even more than fish and chip shops and way more than US burger joints. People love it

I stand corrected, lol. People around here would have taken BBQ ribs over most others.

It all depends on how long your prepared to wait. There is a shortage as we know but the amount of people that say they want a Rolex but bottle out once they get the phone call is probably very high. Make it clear that you are serious and dropping in once in a while will confirm that. Eventually you will get the call. ADs just want an easy sale and if you can convince them that they will get that with you they will be in touch soon enough. Personally think over estimated wait times are bs on certain models.

True a mix-tape with a lot of prank-calls can actually do the job.. Yesterday i phoned round and i felt that i had nearly bingo after a while…………..

Someone asked this once before: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=655201

Have you read any of the advice provided there?

It absolutely does work. I got a Daytona-C the same day I called about one, and I am by no means a VIP/whale/or even remotely a big spender. I did have some purchase history with the store, but I feel like the tipping point was my relationship with the sales staff.

I would add though, that was a couple of years ago. These days I think even the best relationships are greatly assisted by actually buying something in the store.

And of course, some of it boils down to luck and then exactly what it is you're in the market for. I am really fortunate that I am one of the ten people left on the planet that doesn't want a BLNR or LV-C, so I'm easily satisfied.

Be a good customer - be polite, not demanding - buy things (watches and jewelry) loyally from them.

It’s faster than reading and deploying a targeted strategy.




But I think almost everyone asking the same question as OP should buy this...

i was just going to write something similar,

Where is people's pride and self respect? I mean who goes brown nosing to a watch boutique, if this is what people do, what else do they do?

I would love to rewind 25 years, i am sure people were not like this pre-internet.

AD's have many sales reps working for them. Find the sales rep you think will work best with you. Be kind, be persistent, and be consistent. You'll eventually get something. It may not be a Daytona but definitely something

Reps come and go. You want to get to know the owner, and failing that the manager. The person working the counter has very little impact on what goes to whom.

[tyler1980]

try singing to them

[Paul_I]

Hahaha.

Were I an AD, I would definitely remember a potential customer who brought me "gifts".

As being someone very creepy and off-putting.

Agree. Very beta and needy.
