Saks Global to debut program to incentivize its top sellers
Saks Global is rolling out a program to incentivize and improve the skills of Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus selling associates as it looks to generate higher sales volumes.
The luxury retailer said its new Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus Seller Success Track Program takes a reimagined approach designed to further empower its most impactful selling associates and elevate the customer experience across both brands. The initiative will be introduced in November with a full roll-out in 2026.
“The Seller Success Track Program was developed to incentivize and empower selling associates to unlock their full potential and achieve greater success while supporting their interests and growth trajectory,” the company stated in a press release. “The program supports each seller's individual business, recognizing that their success directly fuels the growth and performance of the company as a whole.”
The program focuses on two types of selling associates: "stylists" that wardrobe customers from head to toe, and "sellers" who are experts in a specific merchandise area. The program kicks in once an individual hits $1 million in annual sales — what the company is calling an "emerging stylist" or "emerging seller" — and continues to grow through various levels until the associate reaches “master stylist or "master seller" levels with $7-plus million in annual sales.
Program participants will be on a continuous growth journey unlocking new opportunities with each program level achieved that result in additional incentives, according to Saks Global. This includes new customer acquisition support, an assistant to support their individual business, budget to travel with their clients and more.
As part of this program, the luxury retailer has also introduced a new type of stylist called "global stylists." These individuals are defined as elite personal stylists who expand beyond traditional store boundaries to serve their clients across all of Saks Global's luxury retail brands and physical locations, delivering a consistent, elevated experience wherever and however customers choose to shop.
"Our sellers are the heart of our customer relationships and the foundation on which our business is built," said Emily Essner, president and chief commercial officer, Saks Global. "By creating a program that fosters their growth through a personalized development journey, we're investing in their individual success. Through this program, we have created a distinctive offering that sets a new standard in luxury selling and reinforces Saks Global's leadership position in the industry."
Saks Global is the largest multi-brand luxury retailer in the world, comprising Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Off 5th, Last Call and Horchow.
