Map your guest experience
Using the Guest Experience Map® we’ll create a storyboard of how your experience comes together.
You’ll get feedback and collaborate with colleagues to identify new strategic opportunities to create breakthrough results in your business.
By applying the 10 Profit Activators to your experience you’ll be able to design, deliver and capture value, well before a guest arrives and well after they’ve left.
The 10 Profit Activators creates clarity and perspective on:
- How we predictably attract our ideal guests
- How we educate and motivate
- How we create irresistible offerings
- How we communicate to guests pre-arrival
- How we create a great first impression
- How we create a ‘world-class’ in-residence experience
- How we say goodbye
- How we communicate post-departure
- How we make our guests part of our family
- How we orchestrate referrals
Create Moments Your Guests Love
By mastering the GEM cards you’ll master a practical toolkit to invite collaboration amongst your teams to explore a range of possibilities to design memorable and meaningful moments in your guests’ experience. We’ll look at leading examples of great experience moments from around the world and reverse engineer them to learn what makes them great and how we can design our own.
Test and validate your ideas
You’ll learn how to fast track your ideas and reduce risk by testing and prototyping your ideas before you commit costly resources. By using a testing framework you’ll be able to narrow down to find the most desirable, feasible and viable option to move forward with.
