This is the start of the Chinese New Year of the Metal Tiger, so let’s get at it – Fast, Strong & Resolute!
In pursuit of “Keep It Simple & Specific”, I like to use the following in navigating through a challenge towards a goal, it may help you too:-
Firstly, use the Chris Brogan model, where “Customer Service” has become “Guest Experience”!
DETERMINE OBJECTIVE
· More Regulars
· More Visitors
· More Warmth
· More Business!
DO WHAT IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE…..
· Connect & converse
· Be where your guests (existing AND future) are
· The magic is in the mix – DON’T put all your efforts in one direction only
· Get feedback, anywhere, anyway you can
· Chat! All sorts of things come to light!!
…..DESIRED OUTCOME
· Closer connections, both with AND between customers/clients is VERY social!
· Understanding the “guest experience” better helps you deliver better
· Be open to new ideas, especially if they arrive out of feedback
· Involve guests in new developments
· Become the hub of your community, physical or virtual
You may need to realign thoughts a little, but could that work for you?
