John Quintoni of The Ritz-Carlton billed his company as the leading hospitality company in the world. Surprisingly, this company with its exalted, traditional customer service values is only 34 years old.<\/p>\n

He bragged that they are the only brand who’s not afraid to say “We love our guests!” The company’s goal is to make raving fans, even if at head-spinning room rates.<\/p>\n

Great service starts with their definition \u2013 as a Hospitality business, not a hotel. That would be like builders saying “We’re not in the homebuilding business, we’re in providing “good living.”<\/p>\n

Experience is their product. They want customers to walk away thinking “I will not forget how you made me feel.” They strive for guests to FEEL VALUED. Where does this start?<\/p>\n

Quintoni said high-gear employee engagement begets extraordinary customer service. Each Ritz-Carlton holds daily kickoff meetings each shift to discuss guest needs\/issues from shift to shift, review the why behind the what, etc. This focuses employees on their Purpose, not just Functions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
