Assignment Context
Louis Vuitton was founded in 1854 by French Box Maker and entrepreneur, Louis
Vuitton, provided luxury luggage and leather products then extended its market to
6097 stores with more than 213000 employees in the world (Macrotrends, 2024). LV
Thailand is one of their subsidiaries located in Bangkok Siam Paragon Shopping
Centre. With the unique setup in Thailand, LV positioned itself in the market with
innovative retail concepts that attracted local and foreign consumers where 11
million tourists visited Thailand according to the 2022 report.
I found an advertisement job on LinkedIn for a client advisor at Louis Vuitton Phuket.
It was posted on 19th August. I find my interest in applying for this position as a
client advisor plus it is a dream for developing my career through Louis Vuitton. The
position fits me along with my interpersonal skills and proven experience in customer
sales growth to apply in LV.
Introduction
Accountability not only reflects a good personality but also builds trust with
stakeholders. Due to my past issues occurring in Nike, my past issues in Nike made
me realise the importance of integrity and double checks that if I send out wrong
email, I immediately took responsibility by sending a follow-up email to apologise and
resend the right one again. This results in representing a strong brand reputation that
ensures precise information transmission for an exclusive customer experience.
Employers expect employability skills including hard skills and soft skills in
candidates for the selection of criteria to choose in a modern workplace for a unique
employee. Doing things right for the first time seems like an employee is saving time
and money for the organisation without any errors, delays, and cancellation.
I can communicate with clients via mails and consultation for new limited offers
based on past purchasing history by collaborating with AI for last handbags, evening
wear, outfits and current fashion trends can result in gaining brand advantage. I can
engage the clients through private event invitations like “ready-to–wear week”,
exclusive shopping nights for VIP customers and follow up activities for showcasing
new collections. I believe my values can add to the brand with positive impacts to
approach customer satisfaction as a client advisor.

Task 3
Interview preparation for a client advisor role is required with detailed presentation of
personification and important documentation. Before the interview, I will study Louis
Vuitton brand value and history to understand the company’s growth journey in the
luxurious market, I will keep myself understandable about the unique selling point
and brand's commitment to craftsmanship for leather bags, outfits, and shoes so I
can develop their strategies aligning to my past role in Nike as a marketing assistant.
Secondly, I will practise some potential questions for interviews such as-
● “How will you keep a strong relationship with clients?”
● “How do you ask clients about their feelings on purchased LV products?”
● “What makes you want a job in LV?”
● “What are your critical thinking skills you applied in your past job?”.
Throughout this practice, I can present effectively how to gain customer
relationships, feedback, motivation, and critical thinking skills to satisfy the
interviewers and differentiate in the shortlisting process.
I will study LV’s sustainability goals as the company approaches sustainable and
eco-friendly practices such as 55% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030
(LVMH, 2024). I will examine its organisational culture and ethics for presenting
how I fit for LV as a client advisor role in the interviewing session. I will research
past successful LV employee interviews on social media to predict the interview
session.
Grooming tips are important since LV values strict attire so paying attention to
fashion blogs for presenting myself with classic and timeless pieces reflecting
modern culture is considered.
Task 4
How to integrate into the new role of client advisor and become an effective
contributor within the team
Belbin Role
Belbin suggests an effective contributor in a team must have nine team roles to play
individual roles based on different types of performance and norms. According to the
new CEO and president Michael Burke unique strategic vision, his leadership
strategies take part in the success of fashion houses (Gagliardi, 2024). According to
Belbin, I can gather trendy design sources such as luxury Barbie collections, Women
Spring-Summer 2024 Collections as a resource investigator. I can explore my team-
working by aligning my experience to the company mission” The Art of Crafting
Dreams” (LVMH, 2024). LV’s 300 Client Advisor handles the communication
channels effectively which I will contribute to my implementation role by putting plans
into action (Louis Vuitton, 2024).
My integration journey aligns with the Tuckman Model of team development which
are-
1. Forming
As a new client advisor, it is vital to fit with the brand's model by joining intensive
induction training to familiarise with the company’s history and serve quality
standards to customers. As a result, I can build a strong base under pressure and
maintain LV’s greatest reputation.
2. Storming
3. Norming
Listening to colleagues' feedback reflects respected ethics and norms can lead to
easier access for integration into client advisor roles along with improvement in
personal growth. Building-team movements approach trust and relevant
communication.
4. Performing
As a client advisor in LV, I can create open dialogue and team building tasks to
expand strengths for the company developments. LV client advisors can gain great
performance and deliver seamless experiences by focusing on strategies
development for rising demand on seasonal trends such as Louis Vuitton Cruise.
Using feedback by work colleagues and line managers during the first six
months of work to improve the performance in the workplace as a Client
Advisor
Louis Vuitton’s brand reputation requires sufficient product knowledge and customer
satisfaction which can be gained through two types of feedback which are-
1. Formal Feedback
2. Informal Feedback
Informal feedback allows for immediate response and suggestions towards the
improvement in advising clients such as developing craftsman knowledge for LV may
need training or fixing my communication style.
Steve Jobs once said “We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and everyone
should be excellent. Because this is our life.” I will explore colleagues and clients’
feedback to improve the use of SMART goals. I will evaluate the responses if they
show lack of product knowledge, I can focus on the target on the product lines
specifically such as scarves and belts. As a result, I can offer better suggestions on
personalised fashion and deliver after sales service to my clients as a striving for
excellence.
