I work in a high end boutique practice and am trying to convince my boss to cross over to the current times of technology (which he is open to doing... if I do all the leg work of course!) to reflect...

Yeah most definately.

I already do the whole "we only give out store codes." but I lack the tact/diplomacy to back the answer up as to why we dont give out the actual model details.
Usually...

Its not so much an issue with our optical frames. But we are primarily a designer sunglass store (largest selection in the southern hemisphere... online shopper's paradise for trying on the goods...)...

Yeah, thats what we do = write down the store code and price. but as i said, there are people that then ask if thats the actual model details - as in not the store code. (to which I have replied...

Our tickets have both the bar code and model details (and then alot of sunnies missing tags *insert eye roll here*). Also when they ask to have the sunnies written down on a business card, we write...

Just curious as to how you guys deal with customers who come into your store, use up your staff's time, try on your stock...only to then ask you for the model details to purchase them online.

We...

Aussie designer and manufacturer: Roger Henley. You can pick which ever acetate or design of glasses you want and he will make it for you. all colours and details are on his website.

I have to say, our Ray Ban rep is FANTASTIC! We see him or hear from him at least once per week. He is very on the ball & bends over backwards for us. lovely bloke who will treat us like real people...

Dang. Was hoping for a more saucy topic :(

Thanks guys! (And Sharpstick - some excellent words I will have to enter into my vocabulary/mental dictionary!) Thats much more what I was after.

Hopefully Georg Mayer will have some extra...

*sigh* thanks any way... I know WHAT it DOES, just not WHY.

Never mind.

Percherons and Clydies...pffft, made for pulling carts, not riding, I say!
Gucci - with their snaffle bit (horse bit) logo.

aaaaaannnd THAT my friend's is the mentalitiy of Queenslanders! Here in Melbourne - we throw them out (or show them to the less experienced optical staff to see who gets grossed out the funniest!)

OOOHH!!! $50K USD base?! Can I come over there and play?! :D

Lol!!

Just like Kat said... the patient should have a seperate pair (prefferably polarised as a general rule) as their sole sunglass / sun protection.

Transitions are like your "every day" shoe... you...

Serengeti should also be in there

wow... the americanos dont pay much do they?! When I was learning with OPSM (Aussie LUX based company) I started on $16.50 AUD (was there part time for 18 months), went to a private practice...

*Head->Desk* AARRRGGGHHH!!!! I am so sick of dispensers chosing words out of the marketing mottos to cut it down to "anti glare" when describing Anti reflective lenses. It is sooooo misleading!! Anti...

well.... neither. We would charge them for a short consult through Medicare (a government medical scheme here in aus). So they dont pay anything, yet we get $$ for our time.

(-_-)ZZzzz.....

tee hee (",)

OOOHHH what an amazing opportunity!! *sigh* If only I was able to get over to you-ess-of-aye for an interview!! Good luck with your search!

Yep, thats my sales tactic too!!

I let them know the price of their lenses and say that includes an AR coating (then briefly go through 2 or 3 advantages if the customer is unaware of the...

Ahhh, the 'ol Ken-tuck-tuck :)

Ohhhh, my little claim to fame: My riding instructor here in Aus was on the 2008 Spruce Meadows front cover of the program with his horse "Warlord II" ontop of the bank... Yep, DEFINATELY an event I...
