The 3 E's of Customer Experience Featuring Michelle Pascoe
Tips for Training Teams with a Hospitality Mentality
Shep Hyken interviews Michelle Pascoe, CEO of Optimum Operating Procedures and Services, also known as OOPS. She talks about the 3 E's of customer experience and the impact of values-based training on creating a lasting impression.
This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:
What does "Hospitality Mentality" mean?
What is the difference between customer service and customer experience?
How can businesses create a memorable last impression for customers?
Why is a values-based education important in shaping employees' customer behaviors and interactions?
How do you equip frontline team members to deliver an exceptional customer experience?
Top Takeaways:
- Customer experience is about creating lasting impressions. Just as the first impression sets the tone, the last impression leaves an impact. Every step in the customer's journey, from the moment they walk in to the moment they leave, is an opportunity to amaze.
- Embracing a hospitality mentality is about delivering exceptional customer experiences. It means going beyond merely meeting expectations and striving to make customers feel truly valued. This creates a positive and memorable interaction that can turn ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences that keep customers coming back.
- Michelle shares the 3 E's of Customer Experience:
Expectation: What does your marketing say about you? What are you creating in your customers' minds?
Experience: What do your customers get when they walk through your doors? Do you at least meet their expectations? How do you exceed their expectations?
Evaluation: What are your customers thinking about your business as they walk out the door?
- When we live out our company's values, it sets the tone for our team. When we connect these values with our business operations, we give our employees a chance to shine and do a great job based on those values. And if something doesn't align with our values, we can call it out with clarity and proper discipline.
- Training is not just about onboarding, it is an ongoing process. It is necessary to equip team members with the skills to uphold service values and exceed customer expectations. The training process should be multifaceted, cater to different learning styles, and be constantly reinforced.
- Nurturing connections is essential, not just with customers but also between leadership and employees. When leaders take the time to understand and connect with their team members, it creates a positive and supportive work environment, leading to a more aligned workforce.
- Plus, Shep and Michelle share their own experiences as customers that left a lasting impression. Tune in!
