You know, I used to work at
Nordstrom and the people in handbags at my store LOVED the purse forum. They thought it was the best thing since.. oh, purses!
I had SAs tell me how happy they were when their info was posted up here because it gave them a chance to meet so many different customers, not to mention SELL more. Which is the main prerogative of a
Nordstrom SA- contrary to popular opinion, it is
not always about the customer. Especially since their sales have been dropping (this is intel from corporate) and they have been honing their sales strategies to try to counter this economic trend.
Overwhelming or not, I have no doubt that the SAs appreciate what we do here. It would be simply baffling to think that they would pass on the potential business they could get via being posted about on tPF because they felt "overwhelmed".
