    Big congratulations to Kevin for getting another chance, I think he deserves it, seems like he’s a hard worker and a hustler too, I think he will make a great addition to the team at Luxury Bazaar. Looking forward to watching him grow on the show. Good luck Kevin.

    From someone who has been in sales for a long time and done a lot of jewelery sales I would say it would be greatly beneficial to have a sales coach come in and train everyone. I keep hearing missed opportunities when the staff talks to clients, its like they are just focused on selling exactly what the client is asking for or one watch and they aren't asking enough exploratory questions to see what else they might want or items for their family and friends. They should also be putting together package deals and especially pairing jewelry with the watches these clients are buying. There's huge opportunities here to boost sales. Just a tip, love the videos and brand guys !!!

    So the guy from wax said that as you're closing a sale would be a good idea to mention it dead but honestly it's also a sales tool if you mentioned at the beginning that they could potentially leverage their watch and the fact that when they buy from you that this service is available is a good selling point If you wait till you're at the last stage that gives them time to see if they can get the watch at a cheaper price and If they know it from the beginning that they have an opportunity to leverage that it's insured then it could potentially keep them from even searching somewhere else You guys are professionals you know better than I do I'm just thinking out

    I think David had the best social media video and I’m glad you see that too. I literally clapped when you said David.

    Love all the new additions to the team. Great move by giving Kevin a chance. Looking forward to purchasing a watch from you guys in the future.

    Best Grey Market ep I've seen. More challenges, surprises, and new faces are always welcome!

      Yeah it was a bit awkward phone call. Like they weren't really listening to each other, questions thrown in beginning like how's family and how are you just quickly responded to and dismissed.

    What do you think of Richard Millie’s “mechanical pen” reference number RM S05? I actually find it’s engineering very visually appealing, but the price tag is horrendous!

    Good to see Kevin getting another chance, would have been a waste to the watch industry especially losing him to real estate
