    Whats the dollar amount of your largest sale?

    Just curious what others have done with patients that spend a lot of money. What is the largest sale you have had with a single patient. Can be multiple orders placed on the same day, but not yearly total.


    7,5**.00 one patient about 15 complete pairs

    wow..... nice!

    I had a smaller one once that was about 2000 on non rx sunglasses. He wanted very specific cases and wanted to see the case for each from. When I asked why he stated his ferrari, lambo, etc etc etc had small glove boxes.

    $3,500 - 3 complete pairs
    we don't sell MayBachs or anything like Craig, so I'm sure he'll trump anyone.

    Phone order for $20,000 and it just got delivered to her. We brought to her house.
    Largest single sale is $34,000 to a client and a few of his friends; he pays for everyone!

    $7,600 12 pairs of glasses. Patient brought in 6 pairs Cartier, Chrome Hearts and some prototype all real wood glasses that I couldn't adjust. 1.67 Trans w/ AR in all of them. When I asked him why he buys so many.....he said he just loses them often.

    What selling practices did you use to get these large sales? Or was it just dumb luck? Right place right time, kind of thing

    I deliver $99 glasses. My reasoning is that if Dominoes can deliver a $15 pizza, I can deliver a pr. of glasses.

    Good for you, and I have done the same when a patient was home bound. This wasn't the do you deliver glasses thread though.

    Considering this is your thread and the initial "deliver" comment was made by Craig in passing and you happened to comment on it and make it a discussion item, I'd say
