Hurting Luxury Watch Companies Finally Discover Their Sales People Stink {Luxist}

Jul 30th 2009 11:45AM Wow! Shiestiest and most maniupulative are the only salespeople that survive??
I work in the luxury magazine publishing business and I can tell you that I fire anyone on my staff that I find out has lied to a prospect/client or has not followed through on a commitment made on behalf of any of our publications. It's a shame that you have "slimed" an entire profession because of what, I can only surmise, is based on a bad experience(s) you may have had. Further, our account managers are coached and schooled in how to provide value to our clients not just to go and sell a page of advertising. I don't know how that benefits anyone. Price and value are two completely different things. I agree with the writer above; personal service and loyalty are key.
