Set HIGH Expectations for Your Guests This Weekend

by: Scott McKain

A Note from the VisionRoom Curator: My friend Scott McKain is an internationally known authority who helps organizations create distinction in every phase of business and teaches the “Ultimate Customer Experience.” During our special August emphasis on Guest Experiences, Scott graciously agreed to let us use a blog post on customer experience. But don’t worry – when you hear “customer” just insert the word “Guest” and you will come away with a powerful lesson to share with your Guest Experience teams.

What are the FIRST WORDS that a Guest hears when they make contact with you or your organization?

If you haven’t planned it — or, if you’re satisfied with a generic, “Can I help you?” — then those professionals who deliver an enthusiastic welcome…and set a high expectation for the Guest of what’s about to happen…will leave you behind!

This 1 1/2 minute video suggests the importance of setting HIGH Guest expectations — and why it is so important. Click on the image to launch the video.

comment_post_ID); ?> Thank you Ed for sharing your insights into the Church Growth Movement. I have my reservations with Church Growth models because it has done more damage than good in the Body of Christ. Over the years, western churches are more focused on results, formulas and processes with little or no emphasis on membership and church discipline. Pastors and vocational leaders are burnt out because they're overworked. I do believe that the Church Growth model is a catalyst to two destructive groups: The New Apostolic Reformation and the Emerging Church. Both groups overlap and have a very loose definition. They're both focus on contemporary worship, expansion of church brand (franchising), and mobilizing volunteering members as 'leaders' to grow their ministry. Little focus on biblical study, apologetics and genuine missional work with no agenda besides preaching of the gospel.
