4. You can get VIP treatment
“Clienteling” is retail lingo for “VIP treatment,” in which sales associates at high-end stores show preferential treatment, such as inviting them to so-called pre-sales that offer 30-40 percent off prices a week or so before the standard sale kicks in. Befriend a sales associate at any store you visit regularly. Since most work on commission they’re keen to build the relationship and secure as much business from you as possible. It’s a win-win for everyone.
