The other day I was at my hotel waiting for my client to pick me up for a meeting. I wanted a quick breakfast, so I went to the hotel’s coffee shop to pick up some oatmeal. I sat down at an open seat in the hotel lobby and noticed that my oatmeal looked more like soup that oatmeal. They had instant oatmeal in a cup.

In looking over the final contract for our most recent meeting at the hotel, there were a few minor changes from the year prior.

Rao explained what happened and an hour later the driver made his way back to the hotel where he had picked up Mr. Rao earlier that day. He didn’t ask for money even though he had to take time out of his day to return to the hotel. He just wanted to take care of his customer. No, it was his fault.

We talked about the service we received at retail stores, banks, restaurants, hotels and airlines around the world. We each had very different opinions about what constitutes “good service.”. They watch customers carefully and observe how they react. Its customer service culture is subtle, but extremely effective.

I had a similar “I’m sorry” experience when I went to check out at a hotel. Hmm… most hotels I stay at don’t charge for any of these amenities. Even if it is “too bad,” the way you say it can include some empathy and caring that makes the customer know you feel their disappointment. Follow on Twitter: @Hyken.

I notice the same type of behavior happens with airlines and hotels. It’s easy to spot the frequent traveler by the way they are treated by airline and hotel employees. So, it appears that frequency might warrant a better customer experience. The same might go for how much a customer spends. Follow on Twitter: @Hyken.
