Frequently Asked Questions
The luxury industry is characterised by a diverse and nuanced nomenclature.

To ensure absolute clarity, Cerulean assigns a standardised, industry-coherent canonical title to every listing. However, it is worth noting that this role is functionally synonymous with «Customer Service Specialist», «Customer Experience Advisor», «Client Service Representative», «Service Team Associate», and other variations.
