Learn How iPDF Technology Billing Statements Can Improve Your Competitive Advantage

With technology continuing to produce better and easier ways of doing business, every CFO’s focus should be on whether their outgoing documents are producing a positive image of their company.

Sure, you’ve always done business in a certain way so why change it?  Because today, ‘average’ is not ‘good enough.’ In fact, average can actually be a disservice to your company. In today’s competitive environment, your company is measured by the messaging you put out through billing statements, CRM and marketing and every part of that is a reflection on you. So when was the last time your customers told you they were impressed by your billing process?

At the hub of the hospitality industry lie the basic fundamentals of profit and margins. Maintaining good profits and owning a successful business relies on having a loyal customer base and an excellent reputation. Customer experience is paramount if people are to return to your hotel and recommend it to friends and colleagues. Within your business it is the staff that are empowered with the responsibility for whether or a not a customer returns.  The industry of hospitality is a tough one, with competition becoming ever stiffer. It is therefore very important that hospitality management training be included in your staff progression and that staff are made aware of the business goals and ethos.

How Training Programs Work

Today there is access to a wide range of companies that offer hospitality management training, in the form of lectures, programs and various courses. It is generally considered that using an independent company to organise your training is more beneficial than in-house training as it retains its objectivity and never becomes personal. The companies offering such services take great pride in what they provide and by combining a huge amount of knowledge and experience drawn from their staff they produce an excellent product. Time is taken with each client to ensure an individual approach, a personal service and to make sure the business owner is abreast of what training is being given.

The follow-up part of the program is an integral part of the package. It aims to assess the success rates of the training by monitoring staff in the work place post training. If staff is monitored closely, extra training and feedback can be given when necessary and prevent a problem escalating. Using mystery shoppers and mystery callers is an excellent way to establish the results of training programs that have been undertaken. Members of the mystery shopping and mystery calling team will orchestrate scenarios in situ, in order to asses particular aspects of staff behavior and the way they deal with potentially relevant situations. By using this follow-up service you can be confident that training has been beneficial and that the staff are producing the exemplary standards expected.

It doesn’t matter if you are the owner of a small hotel or involved with international hotel chains, companies providing hospitality management training can tailor make a program to suit you. The individual and bespoke element for every customer is confidently designed by people with a vast range of experience and knowledge in the business. Regardless of the size or turnover of your business there are commonalities across the board; striving for success through excellent staff attitude and a top quality customer experience. There is definitely a place for training in the work place to be continuous, and these companies make it their business to help you use this training as a means to improving your business. Companies providing the service often provide extra seminars and workshops run from your hotel and these are another welcome adage to the package provided.
