Phase 1: The study– Becoming the Dealer
"Know thy object, seduce with its soul."
What to Do:
-
Deep product study (Hermès-focused to start):
-
Understand leather types: tactile difference, how they age, which clients prefer what.
-
Learn Hermès color codes: Rose Sakura, Vert Criquet, Bleu Nuit—describe them like poetry.
-
Identify rare editions: Horseshoe stamp, So Black, Touch, Himalaya.
-
Study bag sizes and their cultural connotations (e.g., Mini Kelly for collectors, Birkin 35 for legacy).
-
Note price evolution across time and resale.
-
-
Train with obsession:
-
Memorize the lifecycle of a Birkin.
-
Practice storytelling—each bag has a character.
-
Build mental associations between a client’s lifestyle and a product.
-
This phase makes you the authority. You don’t "sell"—you reveal. You make the object desire them back.
