Flashback Friday: How Your Guest Service Team Can Shine (Even When The Sun Doesn’t)
Every Friday I dig into the archives and dust off an old post. As I type, the eastern seaboard is preparing for Hurricane Matthew. Even if certain regions escape wind and flood damage, it’s almost certain that most of us are in for a rainy weekend.
