CRM IN HOTEL INDUSTRY In the world of servicing guests, there are as many challenges as there are, well... challenging customers, but I think in the current age of "branding" one of the biggest ones is ensuring a consistent consi stent customer service experience. This challenge is threepronged: First, managers must be able to manage consistency in the face of interchanging slow and busy times and seasons. seasons . Second, consistency needs to be ensured across job titles, roles, and pay ranges. Third (or perhaps First, if you'd like), li ke), the marketing message must be in tune with a plan to set guest expectations according to the season and customer tier considerations. The guest servicing standards themselves should focus on not just consistent responses, but also should prevent consecutive consecuti ve negative experiences. In other words, if a guest has experienced a negative event (i.e. complained that the room wasn't clean upon check in), this fact needs to be captured and made available to customerfacing employees so that they can put an extra effort into making sure that tha t the remainder of the hotel stay or restaurant experience is as positive as possible.
A further back-end benefit to capturing the negative event information is that it will enable analysis of customer experience shortcomings. This in turn allows for active methods for f or managing, monitoring, and predicting customer satisfaction, which can then lead to fine-tuning the marketing message, interaction standards, and employee training. Predictive analytics can be used to understand latent pain or dissatisfaction before it percolates and impacts customer loyalty loyalty..
CRM SOLUTION Customer relationship management (CRM) (CRM) is more than the practice of collecting guest-centric data. It¶s the art of using historical, personal, and experiential information to personalize a guest¶s stay while generating incremental revenue opportunities.
