I call this the X Factor," says Martin R. Baird, chief executive officer of Annapolis, Md.-based Robinson & Associates, Inc., a global customer service consulting firm for the gaming industry. Theres no common name for this. Its just a matter of doing something that makes a casino stand out in the eyes of its customers. The important thing is that guests appreciate it and remember it."
Bairds new book, Gaming Guest Service from A to Z" uses the alphabet to explore important words to help gaming executives, managers and employees understand how critically important outstanding customer service is and how to provide it. The book has all the letters of the alphabet and each letter has a series of words that give insight on how to provide great customer service.
The following are helpful tips excerpted from the books section on the letter X.
X Factor. The X Factor is that variable, that thing you do at your property to make it stand out. Its the something thats a little better or a little different. Its the way you do things that creates a memorable experience for your guests. It may be something small like the way you fold towels or something much bigger like free entertainment. Whatever it is, the X Factor makes a huge impression on your guests. Sure, theyll remember if they won and if they had a good time, but theyll also remember those little things that add up to something special. Thats the X Factor.
Excellent. Guests are always on the lookout for anything thats excellent. They want to feel excellent, they want the property to be excellent and they want their service to be excellent.
Exceptional. Every guest wants an exceptional experience. When theyre treated like theyre the only person on the property, they feel exceptional.
