Praise forChocolates on the Pillow Aren′t Enough"Jonathan recognizes that in today′s Internet–fed, savvy–consumer world, it is the people–to–people connections, regardless of price point, that differentiate a customer′s experience. Gimmicks come and go, but without sincere and caring people delivering the overall experience, from start to finish, well, it′s true––chocolates on the pillow are not enough. A great read!"
—David Neeleman, founder and CEO, JetBlue Airways Corporation"If you don′t work for your customer, you′re not doing your job. Who better to turn to for lessons in great customer experiences than Jonathan Tisch? He has long been one of the most respected leaders in travel and hospitality, and when it comes to treating all customers like guests, to put it simply, he gets it. And then some."
—Millard S. Drexler, Chairman and CEO, J. Crew Group"What brings customers back to my restaurants? Why do viewers watch my TV show? It′s more than Bam! It′s delivering a kicked–up customer experience. Tisch is the guy who knows how to do this best. His book gives the inside scoop on how to excite your customers and bring ′em back for more."
—Emeril Lagasse"Attention to detail, passion, and dedication are a few of the things that made me successful as an athlete. Jonathan knows that by doing the same in business, you maximize the customer′s experience and outscore the competition."
—Tiki Barber编辑推荐From Publishers Weekly
According to Tisch, ever-increasing consumer expectations mean that service-based industries have to go beyond the realm of good service to provide an experience that's truly exceptional-and thus, truly memorable. It's a simple premise that needs a rigorous treatment; unfortunately, this effort from Loews Hotels chairman and CEO Tisch (along with business writer Weber) suffers from a lack of ideas and analytical muscle. Tisch (The Power of We) makes some obvious statements, largely pertaining to people's desire for comfort, choice and individualization in their consumer experiences, and then sets about repeating them. The idea that "people want to know that patronizing your business ... won't add to their stress and anxiety....and can offer some respite" gets hammered home early and often. Practical examples of his techniques come by way of a number of businesses, including Loews hotels; as such, anecdotes can read like press releases (on disregarding the rules: in "Loews Hotels ... every housekeeper, bellman, engineer, and desk clerk knows that he or she is permitted-no, expected-to go outside the standard procedures when necessary...to provide that guest with a moment of unexpected satisfaction and delight"). Tisch's latest has a solid subject and some genuinely useful techniques that get lost in a bloated, redundant text.
