My favorite part of this episode is you schooling the youngsters on finance and managing money. Roman is an OG who truly cares and sees his employees as family, not just employees. He’s taking time out of work to help them with their lives.
I totally agree. Very few managers, much less owners, will take the time to make sure their employees are successful inside and outside the company. Good for Roman
This is also my favorite part of this episode. The kind of care and genuine concern Roman shows for the success of his team is in one word....Remarkable. Beyond impressive it is a classy characteristic that is lost on most that haven't had to struggle. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. This kind of thing just doesn't happen in large corporations. The best reason to work for a small private company and an even better reason to work for Roman Sharf. No bull....that is about as real as it gets. Roman looks out for his people like family. The bond doesn't get and stronger than that. It's also the best way to get the absolute dedicated best from every one of your employees. Big love Roman....Big love
BIG plus on Roman here.. fan for life 100% because of this single part. Talking money with younglings is difficult especially in the financial investing/saving department when they aren't ready. I do it with my employees and I always try to keep on them when possible and give advice where it is needed but it's always is a challenge, because when I give them my personal examples it feels like I'm bragging but I'm just trying to teach them they need to start ASAP.
Roman I have to give you a standing ovation. You are living proof that not all business owners have employees to make bigger profits for them. You genuinely care about your people. I’ve never seen or heard of a boss sitting down with their employee and talking to them about financial literacy. It looks like you really want your people to make their lives better. Unfortunately most people in this world have not been taught about the reality of money. Roman you are a great man and when I am capable of becoming your customer I will. Thank you for the insight into the watch world and keep up the great work.
@@Watchlover371 that’s amazing. I didn’t think he was an anomaly but I was just saying I have not seen it around me. You deserve a standing ovation as well!
@@TJJJJJJJJJJJ I agree, that we see them through a lens, but we also need to take a look around the office. Though it’s information that he gives us, most of the crew has been around for a while and is still there. Once again we do only see them through a lens but my accumulated information from my eyes points in the direction of him being a good boss.
@@jonoleech7832 schools don’t teach, 401k, investing, taxes, etc when it comes to finances. They just teach you how to get a “good job” and why the bubonic plague happened and shit like that.
The schooling of Alex and finances is something he will never forget. That will be the foundation for his future! I wish I was taught that a his age. Even telling him early on in his sales role not to buy a watch until he could afford it. Luxury Bazaar truly is a family business, hats of to you guys for leading a good example! Look forward to the next episode.
Teaching Alex financial advise and actually having him show you the numbers vs just telling him to do it….Roman gave priceless advice and is a true leader!
Dude…. That chat with Alex was next level! Roman is basically a proud father at this point with him, setting him up to succeed and making sure he doesn’t lose his head. Great boss, fair play
The fact that Roman spent time to educate the young guy about savings is absolutely amazing. I really hope he’s actually a great guy and it’s not for e cameras
Welcome Tirsten! Roman impersonating Alex 21:43 had me dead, it was spot on. But wow Roman a real one taking the time to look out for Alex. Alex well deserved success! You grinding!
Denis Situation: Since the beginning, I thought his purpose was always a question mark. He came to help the process which Roman has set up, yet there is nothing necessarily to fix. (Roman should have known this part) Obviously he was hired to help the CS side but what does that mean and why did it fail? CS is customer service which means answering general inquries (dms, phone calls etc) I think thats a great position to have someone in but how did he not succeed in that aspect? Just a lot of question about what he wants to gain from the business.
More bosses need to have this mindset. Not just worried about company growth but employee growth and development. To quote Nico you’re God Tier. Making it a personal goal of mine to buy a watch from you guys. Love the show and the way you do business.
Roman as a wealth advisor I really appreciate you sitting Alex down and teaching him and really telling him he has to put money away early. You are a great boss, I wish more employers would be like you.

If Alex is selling 1mil/month and ya'll are netting 10-12% then his commission must be atleast 1%/month which is around 10k/month income gross which is really really good for a 22 year old just starting his sales career.
@@patrickhouse9005 No way man, you dont think starting is 1% when you can make 10k/month if you do 1mil in sales/month? If they start their sales guys at 5% thats fuckin generous.
It’s 100% staged for drama. They can’t even decide if he has done a great job or has shit work ethic. If you’re gonna script it at least keep continuity in mind
I love the direction the show is headed. Even from the time when you were doing what's on my desk video reviews RU-vid videos I can't wait to see what's in the future.
Fantastic episode, love sitting down with Alex, too many youngsters don't get that financial advice! With Denis I found it inspiring, again great to show. You can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink.
Roman is a leader like no other. Anyone, that has been involved in any industry know's what value it would be to them as an employee, to work under Roman. He doesn't solely rely on transactional leadership to motivate his employees. Which shows Roman's true character, work ethic, and what it takes to retain great employees.
I love how someone calls in sick and it's a problem. Looks like someone in the office should've called in sick to begin with so everyone didn't get sick.
I respect how honest and real roman and his team are... If had to choose who to give my business to,it would grey market Everytime immigrants with a real rags to riches story beautiful man! I am 1st generation here in the states and I real admire these guys may God continue to bless you all..
I love watching your channel not only for the beautiful watches but how you run the business.. next year i open my own sales business and its something I can really respect the way you work. - Dean
Want to thank everybody at Luxury Bazaar. Had a 10k wager on how long the pothead would last. Buddy of mine said December, I stuck to a hard November exit and now its done. Thank you so much for the coin.
Great meeting you in NewYork. Just bought an AP from Ana. Great person to do business with and this is the my first of hopefully many purchases in the future. I had the AP Ghost with the titanium bracelet
Huge respect to Roman and team.. the way Roman steps up and supports the young ones setting up there lives is unbelievable 🙏. I wish I had someone in my life that did the same..... can't wait for the next episode.. 🇦🇺
Roman, I’m really impressed with how you sat Alex down and offered to give him financial advice and a savings plan for his future. You’re a class-act to both support and guide your staff the way you do. Kudos, sir. 👍
I don't blame Denis. I would ask what what the purpose for his role and if everything was already oiled then why bring him in. Everything he wanted to mention or comment on felt like they would shut him down.
@@ericsantiago9187 he was bought in to oversee customer service and as Roman pointed out the numbers had got worse since he started, because he’s too busy trying to redesign instead of managing what works already.
@@ricksmis customer service responds to the service provided by the seller. If they are having bad feedback. That doesn't fall on CS That falls on the seller communicating to the buyer on whatever the issue is. CS is just the middle man. Looks like he was brought on to take over CS not to sell with the potential of selling. Just hope it works out for both sides regardless
Yeah it's not fair to compare him to Alex's 75 hour work weeks, whi h will only burn him out. This kid is smart and juat needs to find his own calling. He seems like he has promise, just needs to be his own man.
@@SurfSarge working hard is what capitalists want you to do to maintain their wealth. 75 hours a week nothing to be proud of. no surprise USA ranks so low in happiness, people just work to death there. a happy life is something very different from that.
He has missed an opportunity to make a lot money, but money isn't everything and if his heart wasn't in it and he didn't feel it was going to make him happy, he did the right thing leaving. Fair play for giving him the opportunity to make the decision himself, rather than just firing him!
Denis seems like a nice guy but without the hunger to go the extra mile. No disrespect, but I believe that he will regret this decision down the road, but I wish him and all the best in his future endeavours!
Americans have too much hunger and are willing to put in 14 hours of work a day. that's not a healthy life, no matter how much money that is. maybe this guy want to have just a job and a nice happy life instead of killing himself to earn more
Like Roman said the environment is full of immigrants that came from nothing. I think that level of motivation they expect is on an entirely different level. Hats off to Alex killing it. Roman’s family is an inspiration for me to work harder
Roman I give you much respect 4 giving that guy chance after chance. Onion restaurant and Hospitality management and I've had my fair share of people come in saying I know this I can get this and when I get them hired in and trained up there still asking questions or they want to go home early and questions and all that's fine but when you're trying to find every excuse to not be at work when I really need you we're complaining about the work I do give you. With me I was brought up under an Italian executive chef and I had the proof that I wanted to be his number two guy I had to prove how much I wanted to be there how much I wanted to gain the experience that he could pass down to me. Somebody in his position has all the knowledge he has all the answers and he's not going to give them to just anybody. I see similarities between you and my childhood mentor you guys have the same kind of character the same kind of tough love but then again you won't to be there to make sure that when we do succeed with opportunities you don't want us to squander that opportunity if we put all that work in. And I have so much respect for you what you did for Alex I never had anybody tell me about what I need to do with my financial future and learn all that on my own. Your stand-up guy Roman and I hope I get to meet you someday. Till then keep up the great content and I'll see you on the next episode of The Grey Market. LOL
Roman, u r truly one of the modern CEO that I came across, constantly inspiring your team, taking great care of team, leading them to great heights, solving issues with them. Just awesome. Cheers bro frm Singapore.
You have to find someone passionate about watches period and he clearly has no ambition for this industry and it showed. Ca and west coast are very different from the old school north. You did him a favor as he will find something he likes.
Don't think you know how much these videos help. I've watched every episode but just lurked. I'm grateful and appreciate the content more than you can know.
It is absolutely incredible to see you mentor a team member on managing their money - I watch your videos mostly to admire how you hold your team accountable - how you lead - but this is just over the top and I really appreciate you sharing this
Congratulations Alex on the impressive sale numbers! Roman, Alex not real if you all hand out awards of any type but Alex has to be the "Salesmen's of the Year". Love the content and love all the drip everyone has on!
Wtf, that arrogant clowns attitude “I’ll let you know etc” I’d have been on the phone to let him know he was done, finished, the clown missed out on a licence to print money in sales, Dik Ed lol
I really really like the fact that Roman pulled Alex aside and giving business advice and not being challenged by someone under him making big sales and moves. Very honorable
How good is the dental plan in Luxury Bazaar's insurance benefits? Nick and Alex, you are in the big leagues now online, time to get the teeth fixed and whitened if you plan to have a lot of air time and it compliments the presentation to clients which shows you are not a slob...
Never really got that good vibe from Dennis. I think he made a hasty decision and got homesick. He looked like a guy that just broke up with his girlfriend. Adios
Teaching Alex and guiding him in his future was very impressive and something every boss should do with their employees. I wish I had that same when I was younger. You’re are a good person Roman…
Great episode. Time to get rid of handsome Dan i'm afraid - he's a bluffer. Kids gonna really regret not grasping that opportunity to work with you guys. And very generous of Roman to recognise and offer that financial advice. As Nico would say "keep her lit!" (keep doing what you're doing). Love the content.
You just can't hire those liberal progressive Californian people to work in a hard working capitalist work environment. They're about the fluff, not the bottom line. Common sense work driven passion is out the window. Let's go BRANDON!
Precisely. From the beginning it seemed like Denis wanted everything to be handed to him. Meanwhile Alex started in that same role earlier this year and can now wipe his ass with Benjamins because hard work always precedes success. Anyone reading this, be like Alex, not Denis.
Really liked the part where Roman gave Alex a financial literacy talk. 1st time I saw a CEO do this for their staff. I am disappointed that Dennis wasted his time n everyone's time, all the best to him though.
My personal opinion, the serie is becoming a master class in business management, I'd like to see more watches, personally I miss WOMD and Watches and Whisky.
Roman seems like such a great boss, I love the way he approached Alex and shared his wisdom and experience. Talk about investing in people. Kudos to you!
Great video. Love the way you help your crew. Fatherly advise without being to forceful and demanding. Exactly what the younger crowd needs help with because they don’t teach it in school.
Roman helping his workers get the most out of their paycheck is so damn awesome 😎 Please excuse the language. I think it just goes to show how much he really care’s about the people around him.Respect brother 🤙🏽
I've said this before on another video; I'd "kill" to have an opportunity to work with this crew in this market. I live in a third world country (engligh-speaking) on the other side of the world, so perhaps I have a different perspective to the young guys they're hiring over there, but I get so frustrated just looking at all the amazing opportunities they throw away. If I had half the opportunities they have in that sales team....I'd work my damn ass off with a smile on my face. And a shout out to Alex; he's clearly learning and doing well. Keep it up bro. Look over your shoulder sometime...there's a thousand guys out there who'll gladly do what you do (so dont f it up!)
We have one of these chips in our office waiting for my uncle/boss man his handy man for everything to do it😂😂 Love the show I don’t miss an episode!!! It’s my go to every night to go to sleep to💯💯💯
So awesome to see my man Chris getting a job there, thanks Roman and Co. He's a solid dude. Also your guy who isn't sure what he wants to do, I can't fault him, I think we've all been there.
