Rule No-1 Guest is always right
Rule No-2 If guest is wrong than follow rule no-1
this means the priority of guest is not to be taken only by caring and nodding for everything he ask for but to be a good listener and fulfill his requirement by considering him as a family member which will be reflected on your body language to make him feel at home..
The main focus is to acknowledge that the customer is the reason why the hotel is open. And being more available when needed from the point of arrival to departure.
If I have an unsatisfied costumer,first of all I have to listen carefully his point f view.
after that I costumize my position so I could find they way to resolve it imidiatly.My way to do things is this 1)listen 2)treat you costumer as you will do it for yourself,this mean that I would love to see someone to be attended when I'm speaking,to be attended to resolve my problem and give me something to relax form my problem.
example is that the room that they booked it's not the one that they like to have.
so first of all I hear,I try to communicate with reservation apartments to see availability,if there's no availability I will try to calm them down with an offer of bottle of wine n their room,I will still try to find them a replace of the room even if it has to be an upgrade.The hotel will not lose from that upgrade as they will have a costumers sitified and the costumers voice will bring me more costumers knowing that any problem that they have was immediately resolve by the staff of the hotel.
costumer satisfying = more costumers
