Suggestions on a gift for my AD salesperson.

I would like to send a gift to the sales associate (lady) that sold me my 116610LV. This was my first Rolex purchase and she was extremely helpful throughout the process. I'm looking for suggestions on gifts that I could have delivered.

thanks!

That is a nice gesture. Perhaps a box of chocolates.

Can't go wrong with flowers. Just send the right ones. Don't want to give the wrong message.

Ask the florist for a suggestion.

i sent mine a starbucks card.

i try to bring something to the other AD when i stop by. chocolate croissants from starbucks.

i thought about edible arrangements or similar, but the quality of those has gone down south.

So, if shipping, chocolates are always welcome!

Either she gave you a good discount or she is hot and single!!!
Just kidding. That's very nice of you. Good way to develop a good relationship with the dealer.

Yikes, I hadn't thought about these after purchase costs. I hope my salesman's a guy. He should be satisfied with a hand shake, I hope.

I always like the bottle of wine approach also.

If your not sure what she likes, a gift card to a nice restaurant is a good idea.
My guy at the AD is a big bourbon fan, so I always make sure I take care of him.

Starbucks gift card. Anyone can use it and it’s not awkward like flowers.

I expect that she is already happy with the commission/ranking she gets from high-end sales.

They all want their picture on the wall with "high sales" more than they want your bottle of champagne. Just go back and buy something else from her, that's the best thing you could do

I would go with wine, easily re-giftable. Chocolates and flowers are a bit too gender orientated these days, whatever that means.

Thanks guys...I thought the Starbucks gift card was a great idea, so that may be the route I go. Wine is a great idea, but i'm not 100% sure of the store policy on something like that. Chocolates, another great idea!

Suggestions on a gift for my AD salesperson.

Some companies have very strict policies on accepting gifts from clients, because depending on the industry and circumstance, gifts can be seen as a conflict of interest or a bribe etc.

That said, something under $50 in value would be completely fine...$50 being the result of said employee saving your life during the course of your transaction.

I say IF she likes wine, boo yah. Otherwise, salespeople LOVE coffee. We need it to deal with customers.


P.S. I once had a 90yo woman bring me a HANDLE of Bailey’s around the Krismas season last year. She just plops it down on my desk and whispers, “...for your ice cream”

And she was out.

I can’t believe that nobody said the obvious choice.


Liter bottle of Diet Coke.


Gift wrapped of course.
