Interesting you mention that, my girlfriend and I were at her local H this morning and it's a different location than mine. I have accompanied her to browse for gifts she picks up for friends and family before. I dare not shop there, nor "cheat"
on my SA but it's nice to see her enjoying herself, that in itself brings me joy. Today was a bit different. She was feeling a bit pushed to buy a couple of items she was not interested in. I told her that maybe it was her SA's way of "helping her get to that threshold or magical number needed to obtain an offer". She has a very healthy pre spend as is but that came to mind because of a previous experience my sister had. Sure enough, she did the math of the items that were offered to her and instead purchased a watch and a necklace of the same value amount (maybe a bit higher) that she has had on her wishlist and eyeing for quite some time. Right before ringing her up, her Sa said she had something special "she had almost forget to mention" with a sneaky grin on her face and a wink and took her to a side counter and was showing her a picture on her cell. Her face lit up and I knew it was something good. There was already a VIP in the room so we waited for her turn. I could feel the shift in the energy change and the rest of the shopping experience was more upbeat and enjoyable. While we talked, the SA shared about the high demands, the pressure of the Constance and Kelly items being considered a quota item and how that affects how people make their quota decisions. And that since she knew my friend was coming in today for her appointment, she had put this special items aside for her, hoping it was still on her wishlist of colors. Another question I would like to add is, if you (anyone reading this) were offered a Birkin or a Kelly or even a Constance in your dream color, hardware and leather but, it was stamped from the year before, still wrapped in plastic, would that affect your decision? Should that matter? Thanks for your insight in advance.
