Hi all! Been a while since I commented here but just thought I'll give an update on the SA that I mentioned earlier I was building relationship with.
So far, she has really been WONDERFUL!
Can I know what is the colour you requested for your mini E?
so like previously I told you all that I didn't have any spending with her but she somehow remembered and reserved an Aloha black for me last week.
I don't think I spent alot with her last week, the total spent was about 3k only just, Oran + exotic bracelet + aloha, dropped it to her I really wanted a KTG, then she asked me to sms her my wishlist
I whatsapped her a full list of all my wishlist items from big to small, her response was all very fast, even on weekends she also responds very quickly and shes also always friendly, when I ask for availability she answers almost right away.
Anyway, after I sent her the wishlist I didn't follow up with her anymore.... so by yesterday (Thursday) I was getting a bit restless and wondering should I send a followup message or something to remind her of me? And you know what, I didn't even have to do that. I received a message from her on Thursday early noon - sent proactively on her behalf, informing me some items on my wishlist had arrived, we then had a conversation of me asking her of a few other availability and she answering really quickly, and then appointment arranged today (friday) to pick them up.
other than that, a few items on my wishlist taka did not have (the kelly belt) but when I was in MBS earlier in the week they told me they had stock there, so I just simply asked her about it, saying they told me have over there. Today when I go down, she told me she already placed order for the Oran sandals colour I want for me, as well as the belts and some necklaces and when they arrive I would get them.
Again my spending is not alot - today's spending was just 1.6k around there (so in total about 4.6k?). When I dropped her about KTG, she still said the waiting list is real long for that one, but when I asked about Mini E, her response was quite positive and she even ask me the colours I want and from my interaction with her as well as her body language, it looks like she can get the mini E for me soon.
However, I did tell her i actually have a preference for brighter/lighter colours like rose sakura, lime, yellow, this type but that I did not mind gold or black as well. She told me that the brighter/lighter colours are super rare and hard to get, especially craie, but she said gold on gold would not be a problem.
after i left the store i texted her a few more wishlist items and also ask her about some instocks, she was all very prompt in replying.
Then in the evening, she texted me saying the oran sandals in gold she ordered for me has arrived, so I would be picking them up on Monday, along with anything else that might arrive before then.
So, I really think she's wonderful plus I really love dealing with her. But I do not know is it because the items I request for are easier to get? I don't know
But another tip I would say is if possible and if you can, to visit your SA during the off peak hours such as weekday morning / early afternoons. When the store is less busy they are less distracted, have more time with you, you can chat with them more and they can take note and respond to your requests better. But that's because my time is flexible, so I kind of can go down any time I like.
But I would really recommend you do your visits when it is less busy. If you are only able to make it during weekends, then perhaps go right when the store is open, or go late sunday night when it is near to closing, I think those times are less busy
I suppose maybe for the KTG / mini lindy perhaps it would be easier for them to offer me once I have chocked up more spending, but if she is able to help me source the items I want quickly then I would reach the spending soon too already...
I would really recommend you go with the SA you have most rapport with because, I do agree it seems like Liat has the most stock, however if the SA is unresponsive and it is hard to get a response from her, it would also be hard on your journey as even if there is stock, she also does not inform or update you in time. Do note that the SA would have to help you score the hard to get item as well, so the SA is really important....
and it does seem that every outlet has their own stock too since MBS looks like low in stock but actually has kelly belts but taka doesn't have at all...
