We're exploring maximizing hashtaghotel Customer Journey opportunity!!!!

To kick off this 6-part Customer Journey series, I wanted to start at the top: why this matters now and how leadership turns better service into an actual company-wide plan. We'll be focusing on how CoralTree Hospitality is leveraging tech to connect with customers.

In Chapter 1, I talk with Tom Luersen, President of CoralTree Hospitality, about why CoralTree spent a year building this strategy and how they are thinking about customized guest experiences at scale.

Here is what we cover:
·       Why CoralTree made the guest journey a priority now
·       Why they spent a full year building buy-in instead of rushing rollout
·       How they built a real plan (not a one-time initiative)
·       Standards of Care vs. standard procedures
·       How they balance technology with high-touch service
·       Why continuous improvement matters as guest behavior changes

Next week: we get into the operational backbone - empowerment, trust, and team culture.
