Hoteliers

Would you like more business from France, Spain and Italy? Why not welcome your guests in their own language. Your staff knowing the basics can make a significant difference to how your guests feel about your hotel. The first impressions they receive from the way they are welcomed and directed to their rooms from your reception staff can influence who they recommend and the online review they leave. That is why successful companies such as British Airways ensure their cabin crew know the basics in several languages. Even if your staff are not fluent in a foreign language, just being able to give directions to the room on the third floor, tell them the time that Breakfast is served and wishing them a pleasant stay in a guest’s own language can really give you the edge on your competitors.
Retailers
Would you like your employees to be able to upsell to your international clients? With 2.42 million French, Spanish and Italian speakers visiting the North West in just January to March this year (source Visit England) this could be a great source of untapped revenue to your business. It is a common myth that all Europeans speak English and many over forties with disposable income from Italy and Spain speak a lot less English (if any) than their younger compatriots. Visitors from these countries expect a high standard of service, they expect to be shown garments in a variety of colours before they make a purchase. We can help your staff to understand cultural differences, expectations and importantly learn the vocabulary necessary to gain the extra business that is waiting for you.
