- The SMART goal setting defines a process for identifying

and achieving long term goals

- The SMART goal setting process ensures that all parties

involved knows exactly what is expected and what to do,

where and how to perform in order to achieve the set

goals.

SMART Goal setting -method

- A specific goal has a much greater chance of being

accomplished than a general goal.

- Who, what, when, where, why

- EXAMPLE: A general goal would be “Get in shape.” But

a specific goal would say, “Join a health club and

workout 3 days a week.”

SMART: Specific

- Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress

toward the attainment of each goal you set.

- How much? How many?

- How will I know when it is accomplished?

SMART: Measurable

- Attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity

to reach goals

- Staff has to be in agreement in order to go

along

SMART: Achievable, Agreed

- Are you willing and able to achieve your goal

SMART: Realistic

- Give a time frame

- Concrete and understandable goal

+ better chance of making it specific and measurable

SMART: Timely, Tangible, Traceable

2. Lead with example

3. Your employees are your greatest asset, so show it to them

4. Recruitment: hire for attitude

5. Empower your employees

+ what is the right thing to do here and now for the customer

+ trainings, guidelines and standards are in the background…but the best

businesses are going further from that towards “as long as you’re engaging, say

whatever words suit you…”

+ find hospitality persons and tell them to use their personality, common sense

etc.

6. Be transparent and authentic

7. Express caring and interest for your customers
