Q & A

Why did the speaker create the 'resellers' room'?

The 'resellers' room' was created to allow personal shoppers to pool their resources and buying power. This way, they could meet the high minimum spends required by commercial retailers to access B2B discounts, which they couldn't achieve individually. The goal was to get better deals on luxury goods by accumulating and compounding spend within the group.

What types of discounts can members of the network access?

Members of the network can access discounts ranging from 20-70% off retail prices on various luxury and activewear brands. Brands include Nike, Under Armour, Moncler, Canada Goose, Off-White, Louis Vuitton, and many others. Some items, like high-end luxury watches, are also available at trade prices.

How does the network benefit from the collective buying power?

The network benefits from collective buying power by enabling personal shoppers to access better discounts and prices from suppliers. By pooling resources, they can meet the large minimum spends required by suppliers, which allows the group to secure preferential pricing that individual buyers wouldn’t be able to get.

How does the network handle sourcing luxury products from different locations?

The network uses a centralized supply chain, where personal shoppers in different locations around the world, like Paris or the UK, can source luxury items on behalf of clients. If one personal shopper is unavailable, another can fulfill the order, ensuring that clients have access to products even if they aren’t physically present in the store.

What is the importance of content creation for personal shoppers?

Content creation is important for personal shoppers as it helps generate leads and attract potential clients. By showcasing luxury items on social media, personal shoppers create an impression that they have these items in stock. This drives client inquiries and sales, even though the items are sourced on demand.

How does the speaker make a profit in personal shopping?

The speaker makes a profit by acting as a middleman or broker. They market luxury items as if they are in stock, take payments upfront, and then source the products from suppliers. The difference between the retail price and the price they secure from suppliers is where they make their profit.

How do personal shoppers set prices for items like Goyard products?

Personal shoppers can leverage the fact that Goyard, for example, doesn't publish prices online, which means customers often don’t know what the items cost. This gives personal shoppers the ability to set their own prices based on market demand and their established supply chain relationships, allowing them to create profitable margins.

What types of luxury products can personal shoppers in the network access?

Personal shoppers in the network can access a variety of luxury products, including handbags, scarves, watches, jewelry, and even exclusive tickets to large events. These products come from high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Rolex, and Goyard, among others.

Why is quality prioritized over quantity when accepting new clients into the network?

Quality is prioritized over quantity to ensure that new members are serious and committed to the success of the community. The goal is to build a network of like-minded entrepreneurs who can elevate one another's businesses, and focusing on quality helps maintain a high standard within the group.

What is the next step for potential clients interested in joining the network?

Potential clients interested in joining the network must book a call with one of the in-house consultants. During this call, they will learn more about the platform, the supply chain, and the successful clients already in the network. The consultants will also assess if the potential client is a good fit for the community.
