The much-coveted Birkin bag or a Ferrari is unattainable for most people. Although these luxury goods may be out of sight price-wise for the majority of consumers, retailers who don’t allow aspirational browsing, are the ones who are out of touch. Subscribing to the idea that Xenia (genuine hospitality) is good for business — for both the browser and buyer alike is the topic of this conversation with Ian Carter, Chairman of Watches of Switzerland Group, the world’s leading retailer of luxury watch brands, and the owner and partner of The Exclusive Automotive Group of Washington DC, dealers of Aston Martin, Bentley, Koenigsegg, and Karma luxury vehicles.
The “Distinguished” podcast is produced by Boston University School of Hospitality Administration.
