5. Sales playbook

Talking points for retail sales advisors and CS agents. Seeded from DAISY 31-Jan baseline + Shopify copy; edit via the admin override UI to replace the defaults.

Elevator pitch (30 seconds)

Built for aviation-inspired legibility and presence, the Pilot Edition focuses on easy time reading and a bold wrist profile.

Best-fit personas

• The gift-giver: shopping for a milestone (birthday, engagement, Eid, graduation). Emphasise the signature wooden packaging and the sticker set.
• The self-purchase customer who rewards herself for a professional milestone. Emphasise longevity, pairing with existing jewellery, and care instructions.
• The returning customer expanding a set (already owns a Classic watch, considering a second piece). Emphasise cross-collection harmony and the upsell map below.
• The tourist buying a souvenir that says Emirates without feeling touristy. Emphasise the Barajeel/Khaleeji design language and shipping policies.

Upsell map (recommend with this collection)

• Leather charms or a matching strap
• Perfume discovery set as a giftable add-on
• Cardholder in matching leather

Objection handlers

• "It is expensive." Anchor on the wooden gift box, the craftsmanship, and the warranty. Compare per-wear cost over 3 years. Offer the discovery set as an entry point for perfumes, or a smaller SKU within the collection for watches/jewellery.
• "Can I get a discount?" Minimalist rarely discounts outside the seasonal moments. Offer loyalty perks, the gift box upgrade, or a personalisation service at no extra cost where applicable.
• "Is this authentic?" Every piece has the Minimalist serial on the wooden box sticker, a harmonized code for customs, and a warranty card. All SKUs are registered against the Shopify master catalogue.
• "Can I return it?" Yes, within 14 days, unworn, in original packaging. Perfumes must be unsealed. Personalised items are final sale.
• "Does it come with Arabic language care?" Yes, all care cards ship bilingual. The PDP copy itself is published in Arabic and English, and the retail staff are trained in both.

Style and wear tips

• Watch pairing: for a 23mm Classic, pair with a stacked bracelet set. For a 42mm Pilot, keep the wrist minimal.
• Ramadan gifting: wrap the wooden box in tonal fabric with an Arabic initial tag.
• Water care: the mesh strap is splash-proof but the dial is 3ATM only. Remove before swimming.

6. Training material

Used by the retail onboarding programme and the Day 2-6 training transcripts. Quiz answers live at the bottom of this section; print the quiz separately for SAs.

Key vocabulary

Key vocabulary

• Mesh strap - A woven metal bracelet that adapts to the wrist. Signature Minimalist comfort.
• Barajeel - Traditional Arabic wind-tower motif, used as design inspiration for the Classic line.
• Water resistance - Rated at 3 ATM unless noted. Handles splashes; not for swimming or showering.
• Movement - Japanese quartz movement in most SKUs; automatic variants are labelled.
• Dial - The watch face. Our signature uses applied index markers.

Five things SAs must know before selling

• Large Arabic numbers for quick readability—even in difficult conditions.
• Large case designed to feel substantial and look balanced on the wrist (including over outerwear).
• Pilot-style crown for easier handling.

Common SA mistakes (from past training audits)

• Quoting "waterproof" instead of the correct "water-resistant 3 ATM".
• Skipping the wooden box as a selling point; always open it during the demo.
• Offering discount language before trying a non-monetary close (personalisation, gift wrap).
• Forgetting to ask about initials/engraving until after payment.
• Not mentioning the 14-day return policy when the customer hesitates.
• Handing over without showing care instructions - always flip to the care card.
• Calling the collection by its SKU prefix instead of its product name.

Role-play script

Customer: I am looking for a gift for my wife's birthday. Something elegant, not too flashy.

SA: Congratulations in advance. May I ask roughly what she wears day to day - more minimal, or does she layer jewellery?

Customer: She is mostly minimal. But she loves small details.

SA: Then the Pilot collection is a perfect fit. It is built around the idea of quiet luxury - clean lines, one hero detail per piece. Let me show you the signature piece...

SA (opens the wooden box): Notice the packaging. Every piece ships in this exact box with a set of exclusive stickers - part of the unboxing experience. After she sees it, you will get credit for it.

Customer: How much is it?

SA: The range starts at AED 2,449 to AED 2,649. For a birthday gift with this kind of presence, that is the sweet spot. And it is fully covered by our one-year warranty.

SA (closing): Would you like me to wrap it, or would she prefer to open the signature wooden box herself?

POS handling notes

• Always check if the customer wants initials before ringing up the sale.
• Offer the gift receipt option.
• For perfumes, check the seal before handover; never sell a broken seal.
• For watches, set the time on the watch before handing over when possible.
• For jewellery, use the black polishing cloth before the handover.
