Additional Praise for
SELLING LUXURY
“Today, our customers’ references in terms of service are extremely high and go far beyond the luxury sector. In the world of luxury, customers are expecting a top level of service before, during, and after every contact or sale. Reaching excellence in service is essential for each Sales Ambassador so that customers are even more satisfied and loyal to the brand. This everyday challenge should be approached humbly, with the understanding that it is a never-ending learning process.”
—Bernard Fornas, CEO, Cartier International
