Guest Experience Strategy Partnership

Remarkable experiences don’t happen by chance, and creating a lifetime of memories isn’t just a warm, fuzzy, saying… it’s the business model.

Your Guest Experience Strategy blends the art of service, recovery, and guest communications with the data-driven science of feedback collection, per capita spending, and driving guest loyalty. This partnership explores each of these tenets both holistically and by addressing the granular details that go into making them thrive.

  • "Josh's influence can transform your operational mindset and place you at the pinnacle of customer satisfaction within your industry."

    — Luke Schueler, CO-Founder/Owner & COO, Flying Squirrel Sports

Online Course: Service Recovery Hero

Guest complaints are a natural part of the business. Regardless of how proactive you are at creating a remarkable experience, there will always be guests who say that their experience fell below their expectation. Rather than striving for zero complaints, it’s better to embrace your most dissatisfied guests and turn them into your most loyal advocates.

Service failures are part of standard operations. Service recovery should be part of standard operating procedures.

This self-paced online course is designed to help attractions of all scopes and sizes - from theme parks to trampoline parks, zoos, museums, aquariums, and family entertainment centers - create and implement a service recovery strategy that doesn’t just solve problems… it grows the business.

Stop struggling with service recovery. Be the hero your guests deserve.

  • “Josh delivers hospitality training that is both relatable (he’s certainly been there and done that!) and insightful. His practical experience is backed by serious research into guest behavior and the benefits of service recovery."

    — Mark Berlin, Director of Operations, USS Midway Museum

Create raving fans through your guest experience.

Your guests don’t need you, and their alternative options are limitless. You know this, but how often do you think about it? Does every member of your team recognize it?

By embracing The Hospitality Mentality, you show your guests that you recognize the effort it takes to simply be your guest. You develop a full understanding of what your guests expect, the importance of meeting the expectation, and how to exceed every guest’s expectation, every time, and channel their satisfaction into lifelong loyalty.

The Hospitality Mentality

  • "For years I’ve said that any business, in any industry, can have a hospitality mentality. It’s not just for hotels, restaurants and tourism. This is Liebman’s first book, and it deserves your attention as he provides a simple-to-understand guide on how to treat your customers as if they are guests."
