Mentorship Program

Overview

​

Nate’s mentorship program will give you all of the tools to start successfully buying/selling/trading/investing in luxury watches. With the luxury watch market exceeding $200B, many individuals are “trying” to become part-time dealers. As you may have noticed, watch dealers are often extremely private about where they buy watches, how they secure new clients, and everything in-between.


It took me 2-3 years to learn these industry “secrets”, such as how to get into wholesale groups, how to ship watches for a fraction of the cost, and how to gain new retail clients. This program will give you every single tool/strategy/piece of information that I have ever learned in the industry. We will go through the ins and outs of what has worked for me and what has not.
 

Learn from my mistakes. During my first year of full-time dealing I was able to exceed $1M in sales and over $3M my second year. While I don’t recommend dealing full-time (trust me, we’ll get to this later), part-time dealing is fun and can be extremely lucrative. Getting into the watch industry was the best choice of my life.

Please Note: there is currently a waitlist for the program. Each time the waitlist reaches 6 months there is an increase in the price of the program. After reviewing the information below, please contact Nate directly at (206) 688-6734 for availability and to see if you qualify for the program (there are several requirements)

Testimonials

Santiago (Miami, FL)

“A few months ago, I expressed interest in learning about Nate’s mentorship program and I couldn’t be happier that I did.

​

Nate offers a very comprehensive mentorship program which stands out from the rest because of his hands-on approach to teaching tailored to each mentee’s situation. Whether you are just starting out or you are experienced in the watch business, this program is remarkable. For me, one of the best things about the program was being able to have live conversations with Nate. There are no pre-recorded lessons, so you get the attention you need, the proper guidance and help necessary to reach your goals.

​

Nate is organized, proactive, resourceful and communicative. He takes time from his busy schedule to show you how to source & buy watches, how to ship them, how to take payment, etc. He was very respectful and never hesitated to answer any of my questions.

​

I felt as though he showed me everything I had to know to succeed. The amount of value I got for the price of the program is priceless. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.”
