Creating WOW! Experiences That Generate Stories

Creating WOW! Experiences That Generate Stories | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
The little girl was horrified when she realized the implications of what just happened.

She had just lost her tooth by the pool on vacation.
Ricard Lloria's insight:

This post, written by biz story colleague David Lee, shares exactly how the Ritz Carlton creates amazing customer experiences that generate word of mouth stories for them.

 

Lee shares the story of a family and the extra mile the Ritz Carlton staff took to make a little girl's day.

 

It's a great story. When I asked David how the staff became aware of the little girl's situation, he said a staff member overheard how worried the girl was about the Tooth Fairy finding her.

 

What does this mean? It means that Ritz Carlton staff are constantly on the lookout for situations where they can create a WOW! experience that customers will keep telling stories about.

 

You can do this too. Thanks for the example David!

How To Create The Culture You Want With Stories

How To Create The Culture You Want With Stories | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
What stories are told in your organization today? Are you aware of them? Do they reinforce your desired culture or do they inspire undesired actions?
Ricard Lloria's insight:

The author of this article, S. Chris Edmonds, shares a few incredibly important points for leaders sharing stories. The first one is that stories help guide behavior. Tell the wrong stories and you'll be sorry.

 

On the other hand, if a leader knows the right stories to share, the bottom line increases. Gotta love that. Makes you wonder why more CEOs are paying attention this. And if you are a CEO who does -- yay!

 

I will also point out that sharing stories is not enough. Rewards and acknowledgement are critical for success. You'll see what I mean when you read the article.

 

What I also really like in this post are the 2 stories Edmonds shares to make his point. Not only are they good stories, they drive home the advice he brings to the table. Enjoy.
