I would like to repeat this following message a member said in a different thread - she said it so much better than I can word it so I’m going to copy and paste here:
“The point has been made before, and in multiple threads- please do not mention/recommend a specific SA by name. It puts them in an extremely awkward situation. He/she may hit it off tremendously with one person and not another, and that is no reflection on them as a professional or as a person. It puts undue pressure on both the SA and yourself, if you go into a relationship expecting everything to be exactly as it is with another client. Go into the relationship and let it evolve and see where it takes both of you. If it doesn't work out for either of you, you can always discuss it and/or move on. Just like in real life!
If you absolutely MUST say something about an SA, perhaps a pm to someone might be more appropriate.”
(Thank you
@nymeria for these wise words in the New York stores thread - where you could also literally see proof of her words in action: one member was sharing that they loved one particular SA and another immediately said that they had horrible experience with the same SA.)
Personally, I feel that unless your SA has told you it’s ok to introduce new clients to them, don’t. And if they said it’s ok, avoid doing it on a public Internet forum where
anyone (including people not registered) can see the information. And tPF is very easy to find when you do any Google search regarding Hermès. Because I think my SA is great, I want to try my best to only introduce people who I know will be good clients and a good fit with her style, and there is no guarantee of that if you post public information on a forum like this. I don’t want to discourage anyone sharing information when they want to, but for the sake of your SA, I strongly suggest you use PMs.
I’ve gotten several from my SA at the Calgary store. Good luck to all!
