Do you gift your SA?
Well since it’s coming up to Christmas I thought a lot of you would maybe gift your AD/SA
I’m in the UK is that common here or are they not allowed to accept anything? |

I gift them with the gracious uptick in their sales numbers, bringing them closer to reach their yearly targets.

Surely it depends on your relationship? I will prob drop something small into my AD because he has turned into a bit of a WhatsApp/text “mate” swapping car pics, watch pics and fragrance tips (and offers)
We get on, and share hobbies. It’s just a “Thank you” for his help. I also tip in restaurants too, if I’ve had good service and got on well with the Paterson looking after me. I sell Mercedes-Benz for a living and get a handful of gifts from my regular clients at Xmas, they also have my mobile number. They don’t wait on hold for service dept, they send me a text and I get someone to email or call them. I think the small gifts are a “thank you” for my efforts……

Do you have a friendly relationship with him/ her, beyond simply chatting up to get something?
I've been gifted items by customers/ clients in a previous life...but I consider them to be friends (as in, they're no longer buying stuff from me, but we still chat and send pictures of our cats and stuff). |

I suspect AD’s are not supposed to accept “gifts” from customers as this might constitute some form of bribery as defined from the mothership (but this is my opinion). My AD went so far to tell me if I gave them anything I would be placed on the do not call list.

If I am in the AD's area at Xmas I will always pop in with something. Nothing expensive, just a bottle of bubbly or the like for the staff to enjoy after hours. At the end of the day over the year, they have given me good service and supplied many watches that others can only dream of buying at list price. I am grateful for this.

many ADs sales people are not allowed to receive ANY gift... so make sure you don't embarass them

I bring them portraits of myself every time I visit. That way it’s burned into memory who they’re going to call next.

They have stuff that everyone wants and don't gave enough for everyone.
They've identified who gets some and who doesn't. Up to you if you want to be stubborn about it and not do something small to give you an edge. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk |

I personally do. I have had a great relationship with them over the years and have bought not only my watches but jewelry. It is nothing expensive, a bottle of something nice or a gift certificate to a local restaurant. YMMV but I think it helps the relationship.

My AD sends invitations and Christmas cards to me.
That's the way I'll keep it.

 Why? Do you give gifts to every salesperson you deal with?

Yes, and I and son have also received gifts from them (not Rolex related) I have built up a friendship and not to get watches. The people ideal with are lovely and they talk watches and let my sick son try anything on. The most expensive watch he has tried on so far was a $384,000.00 watch, crazy but he loves it. We pop in every 2-4 weeks, to see what they have.
Treat people as you want to be treated. |

No, I bloody don't. They should be giving us gifts, for our business, not the other way around.
