For guests who have clearly stated that they have high requirements for sleep quality, arrange a room that faces away from the road and is relatively indoor.

Understand the customer's distance from you    


Talking with guests can enhance the emotional connection between the hotel and guests, and can also get more information about the needs of the guests. However, when talking with guests, the front desk should remember to understand the customer service distance, so as not to cause suspicions of "personal privacy leakage" of the guests. The following aspects should be remembered:    



① Talking time:The front office employee is not advised to take the initiative to ask too many questions. It can be set to 1 or 2. The conversation time should be controlled within 3 minutes as much as possible. for indifferent or frank guests that they will open the room sooner, it is not appropriate to make non-commercial contacts;    




② Conversation content:Avoid some more private topics, such as: relationships with guests, work of guests, income of the guest, etc.;    



③ Answer Content:After receiving the answer from the guest, each question asked by the service staff must have corresponding services and words in line with the answer of the guest. For example, if a guest is asked if they are coming on a flight, the guest says yes, and the front desk clerk should be able to recommend it. For some play suggestions, don't just answer with "um" and "oh" to confuse the guests.

② For business clients:Office supplies such as paper, pens, staplers, document bags, etc.;    


③ For sick or injured guests:bandages, gauze, body heat needles, antiseptic, etc .;    


④ For seasons and weather conditions:toilet water, cold oil, etc. in summer, masks, warm children, etc. in autumn and winter; prepare disposable raincoats, shoe covers and other items for rainy and snowy weather;    


⑤ Other daily necessities:scissors, sewing boxes, clear glue, plastic ropes, plastic bags, etc.;

Don't promise lightly    


For the content that cannot be fulfilled for the guests or does not belong to the scope of the hotel's responsibilities, the front office staff should not make direct promises to the guests, so as not to leave words and evidence, which will lead to confusion later.    


Don't say "I will help you", say "We will do our best to help you and cooperate with you".

free gift    


Telling the guests that it is a gift or free, you will feel that the hotel prepared it itself, you may not cherish it, but if it can be specially prepared for the guests, the gratitude of the guests will be much stronger.    



For example, a hotel reception wants to give a doll to young guests. If they say: "Our hotel has prepared a game for every child." But if the front desk says, "Baby is very cute, we have prepared a small gift for him, I hope he will like it." Guests will also pay more attention to the meaning of such a small gift.

quick answer    


The hotel appropriately enables the front-line staff at the front desk, so that they can actively discover the needs of the guests to work, can quickly provide solutions to the guests, and flexibly adapt according to the actual situation of the guests.    



If the guest complains that there is a problem with the equipment and facilities of the room and cannot be resolved quickly, the front desk can quickly change the room for the guest to get rid of the guest's dissatisfaction when the room is in sufficient condition in the day, rather than waiting for the manager to change the guest, which will cause a bigger problem. Not satisfied.

memory creation    


After the guests leave the hotel, the impression of the hotel will gradually fade. In order to allow guests to remember the hotel and remind the hotel of the hotel when they come to town next time, the front office staff should create some memory points.    



For example, when the front desk deals with business for a guest, and sees that the ID card given by the guest does not have a protective cover, it takes the initiative to put a nice protective cover on the guest with hotel information. The cost is not high, but it can be taken by many guests. This way, even if the guests leave the hotel, when they take their ID cards, they will naturally think of the hotel.   

 


Another example is when presenting a souvenir to a guest, a special local decoration and gift that is appropriate for the season, which will also allow guests to feel the service of the hotel after leaving the hotel.

hello farewell    


Front desk work cannot be ignored as the last part of receiving guests, good check-out service can improve the whole service and enhance the impression of the guests. In this step, the front desk can do two things:    



① Ask about your feelings:Understand the customer's experience in the store.If the customer is satisfied, you can direct praise more; If the customer is not satisfied, ask the reason for the dissatisfaction, actively coordinate, remove the customer's dissatisfaction, and thank the customer for their feedback.    



②Send blessings:After work is over for guests, the front desk can send warm blessings, which equates to a perfect end to the whole service. Some hotels send a bottle of mineral water when guests leave the hotel, so that guests can drink on the road, which also greatly enhances the service experience.
