WHY TRAIN?"9% of customers will leave because they are lured away by the competition, 14% will leave because of dissatisfaction with the product, and 67% will leave because of the attitude of one person in your organization." - American Quality Association |

Once all guest service contact employees pass the Certified Guest Service Professional (CGSP) exam, your property or organization can apply to be recognized as a Certified Guest Service Property. Successful properties and/or organizations may receive a CGSP property certification plaque to display prominently for guest to recognize their commitment to providing exceptional guest service.

WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS SAYING:"As an owner and a chef, I can tell you that usually we say we are too busy to train or it is too expensive but this training will pay for itself. The feedback from the team was off the charts and everyone found it to be time well spent. Thanks again for providing us such a valuable experience!"- Brian Williams, Big Wave Cafe (Certified Guest Service Gold Property) |
