Uh, i have to tell you…

St Patrick's Social Hall
Yesterday morning waiting for the teen to get a donut.

 

“Uh, i have to tell you”, he said as we passed each other. He turned around and took a few steps to come to me.

“I wish you did all the readings. You’re the best reader.”

Humbled, obviously, all i could mutter was, “It’s God’s Holy Spirit”.

i am but God’s vessel.

A vessel that prepares disproportionately compared to the actual length of the one-minute reading.

Disney Customer Service summary

Disney Customer Service summary:

 

Customer Service:

 

If you convince your customers they are loved, they will return. The harsh reality of most customer service programs, however, is that they focus on customer satisfaction, which is actually detrimental to your reputation.

Program Overview:

The Bullseye | 360 Analysis | Unifying Goal | Decision Tree

There’s a goal, a bullseye, a sweet spot when it comes to customers, and most companies assume their staff understands this goal. But if you ask, you’ll get a different answer from every employee because the vision and culture is unclear; it was never explained well during training. Customer satisfaction, most would say, is the goal. And that’s where most businesses fail. Customers want to be delighted and surprised, and the way to make that happen, every time, is to be sure your entire team understands one unifying, common goal. Can you imagine your entire staff doing “extra” even though they aren’t getting paid for it? It can happen with a system of decision-making techniques that are passed down to your staff, and Jeff walks you through step-by-step. One goal + decision-making matrix = customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

5 Customer Service questions

5 Customer Service questions:

  1. Does every single employee know the bullseye for customer service?
  2. Does every employee know how to evaluate every Guest holistically (360 view)?
  3. Does every employee know our unifying goal?
  4. Does every employee know our prioritized decision-making matrix?
  5. Does every employee know our seven service behavioral guidelines?

The transformative difference between training and development

Disney Institute Team in Detroit 2011
Stumbled upon this 2011 photo from a Disney Institute engagement in Detroit. Development can be as simple as encouraging others to have fun while they work.

 

The transformative difference between training and development.

Huh?

If you’ve never worked inside a world class organization like Disney where the difference is called out and leveraged, you most likely have no idea the difference exists.

You may think training and development is the same thing.

Rookie mistake as it were.

Here’s the simple difference:

  • Train for compliance (meeting high expectations).
  • Develop for commitment (exceeding high expectations).

Clearer now?

Is it a Disney Dream come true?

Sunrise from DCL ship
The first sunrise on the very first (besides the trans-Atlantic journey) cruise out of Port Canaveral. The Disney Dream was only 50% occupied to give the staff some breathing room.

 

i can tell that it’s going to be challenging to adjust the way i write every morning.

With the impossible insanely ambitious goal of writing a “Disney” business book every 30 days for the next seven months, i could really use the two hours every morning to write books instead of blogs.

But i’ve invested a minimum of two hours every single day writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts for seven consecutive years.

That’s going to be a tough habit to break.
