So what are ‘needs’ and
‘expectations’?

A discovery...
A survey shows 97 out of 100 customers
who have experienced poor service from
an organization do not complain…...
…..they just change the supplier.
Sometimes they don’t give you a
97%

Why people don’t
complain?
The Reasons…..
I don’t suppose
anyone will listen to
me
Whenever I
complain, I’m treated
with suspicion and
doubt
I have tried complaining
but nothing has happened
I don’t know who to
complain to
They are rude to me
when I make a
complaint
Complaining is more
trouble than finding a
new supplier
Guests MUST feel that their
Complaints are very
WELCOME
Guests must feel comfortable
complaining with any
Team Member
YOU
How to Encourage a Guest to
Express Complaints
Can we avoid complaints?
The answer is NO!
But we can definitely
reduce them...
Why do we need to
empathize with the guest?
• Meeting and exceeding expectations is a
critical part of guest satisfaction
• If we do not know what the guest
expects, then how will we know how to
satisfy those expectations?
“Business Goes
Where It Chooses To
and Stays Where It Is
Well Treated.”
What happens when...
• Guests leave the hotel after an
unpleasant experience?
• Guests leave the hotel after a
pleasant experience?
• Complaints are not handled
well?
• Complaints are handled well?
They Talk About It…….
Which is the best type of publicity in the World?
Television & Film
Specialist
Magazines
Radio Ads Word of Mouth
Which is the best ? Which is the worst ?
Which is the most expensive? Which is the
cheapest?
Newspapers
Word Of
Mouth
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT HUMAN NATURE…………..
WHEN WE HAVE
SOMETHING GOOD TO
TALK ABOUT -
DO WE?
YET WHEN WE HAVE
SOMETHING BAD
WE LIKE TO TELL
EVERYONE…...
DISSATISFACTION
IS A MORE POPULAR
