       About your Career, your business, even your life…..

A very popular term used today regarding one’s products or services whether in the workplace, a local church and even in politics is the term ‘Customer Experience’.

Customer Experience is defined as the product of an interaction between an organization and a customer over the duration of their relationship. This interaction includes a customer’s attraction, awareness, discovery, cultivation, advocacy and purchase and use of a service..

Every employee was so focused on serving the needs of the guests due to their understanding that their specific role within ‘customer experience’ was critical for success, they took ownership. It was their hotel.
