What is clienteling?

The maisons' secret isn't the product. It's the relationship.

Clienteling is the art of knowing each client by name, taste and the important moments in their life, and using that to create an experience so personal they don't want to buy anywhere else. It's how Louis Vuitton keeps clients for decades. And it works just as well in a boutique, a salon, an atelier or a neighbourhood shop.

About Martha

From the shop floor to leading clienteling at Louis Vuitton

I was born and raised in São Paulo and started in retail as high-season temporary staff at Sephora in Paris. Six months later I became Coach, standing in for the managers and leading a team of 15, and I was voted best salesperson in 2009 and 2010.

At Louis Vuitton I coordinated clienteling across 15 countries, then became Clienteling Manager for Benelux and the Nordics, supporting 10 stores in 7 countries. I was Marketing Director for Montblanc in Benelux and Scandinavia and, at Bicester Village, ran communication for more than 120 brands, including Gucci, Prada, Celine and Bottega Veneta.

“Once you master the art of clienteling, your clients will always come back.”

Today I am CEO of Local Secrets, where I design experiences for ultra-high-net-worth clients. I hold a master's in Luxury Brand Management (INSEEC, Paris) and speak five languages. Now I want to teach what I have learned to anyone who wants to sell and serve like the great maisons.

Frequently asked questions

Before you apply

What is luxury clienteling?

It's the method the great luxury brands use to build lasting relationships with each client: knowing their preferences, remembering the moments that matter and offering a personal experience before, during and after the purchase. The result is a client who comes back, refers others and spends more.

Do I need to work in luxury already?

No. The programmes are for small business owners in any sector and for anyone who wants to get into luxury retail. The method adapts to your situation.

What's the difference between the group mentorship and VIP coaching?

The group mentorship is a 2-hour live session covering the full method, with the recording, a workbook and 30 days in a WhatsApp group. VIP is four weeks of one-to-one support, with exercises applied to your business or career, direct WhatsApp access to me and a review of your CV.

What language are the programmes in?

The group mentorship is in Portuguese. VIP coaching is available in English or Portuguese, and also in French or Spanish on request.

How does payment work?

Once your application is approved, you receive a secure payment link. Prices are in Brazilian reais (BRL) and can be paid by international card; your bank converts the amount. VIP coaching can be paid in full or in 2 payments of R$ 5,000: the first on confirmation and the second before the third session.

Do you issue invoices?

Yes, an invoice is issued for every programme.

What if I can't attend live?

Every participant receives the recording of the session and can send questions in the WhatsApp group and at the follow-up Q&A.
