Yes, that's me on the backhoe trying to operate three controls with two hands. Made for great "local entertainment"! (Check out my Alma mater on the jacket. Go Beavs!) My neighbor made it look SO easy. Owning a boutique hotel was, literally, an open door for new experiences. There were people we met and experiences I had that would NOT have happened if it weren't for owning this gorgeous place. That's one of the blessings of working any type of front facing customer service position - there are incredible people to meet and connections to make that would not happen in another job. Being curious about the customer is KEY. Not only did it make my (and my staff's) job more interesting but it enriched our lives. Communicating, teaching, how to be curious results in: * Staff being more engaged * Staff engaging WITH customers * Customers FEELING valued * Customers spending more money and being loyal to the business Would you like to have your team understand how to make customers feel valued? Would you like to have your staff create loyal, repeat customers? Check out the Power of People Academy an on-line, on-demand staff training course. It's your hospitality bootcamp that creates more free time and income for you (owner/leader). Link is in the comments!
Show me team transformation through managing a backhoe. That takes quality coordination. (and it looks so damn fun!)
I love this and agree! There is so much to learn about the people you interact with either through a service or product. Curiosity is such an important trait!
Love it!
