Butler is someone who provides services. The fact that butlers used to serve their guests the
butler’s whole life- put them in an unparalleled position

Modern Hotel Butler does not wait for the guest to make a request, but generates the guest’s
requests through suggestions, comments and a high capacity for implementation. The Hotel butler
oversees preparing a profile so that in-depth knowledge of the guest can be achieved.

The Hotel Butler makes all the difference:

Even though some hotels have not set up a Butler Department, they however offer certain
services that are typical of such position, performed by a different kind of employee under a
different name, e.g.: valet, runner, assistant, bellboy, and so on.
The Basic Services Offered by a Hotel Butler are:

Laundry and ironing.


Shoeshine.
Packing and unpacking of guest luggage.

Today female butlers are sometimes preferred especially for work within middle and Far
eastern families where it may be culture and problematic for males to work closely w/
females in a household.

decision to have a butler and in 2004 Buckingham a lace announced it was actively
recruiting females for the positions.

BUILDING GUEST RAPPORT THROUGH ORAL
AND WRITTEN C OMMUNICATION

.
Rapport - is 'a feeling of sympathetic understanding', where two people feel a bond between
one another, such that they will more easily trust one another.

Building rapport is important in industries that involve social interaction. Using certain
techniques can help you build rapport quickly and effectively. This skill doesn't only give you a
friendly and confident vibe, but it also gives you the means to connect to people and negotiate
your way to achieve your goal. As a matter of fact, building rapport is the foundation of social
persuasion.

People who put their trust in you will agree with everything you say without any hesitation.
Those who you have good connections with can easily fall under your charms. There are a lot of
scenarios out there where these rapport building techniques are useful. If you like to begin
learning these techniques, then you should keep on reading.

The first technique is finding something in common. There is a saying that birds with the
same feather tend to flock together. This statement is true for most social scenarios. People who
want the same type of art can feel more comfortable with each other compared to others who
prefer different types of art.

If you get yourself in a scenario where you must build rapport right away, try to look for
something in common with the person you are talking to and take it from there. However, you
should remember that lying will not get you anywhere. Once you get yourself caught, that
person will not trust you anymore. Be comfortable with telling the truth about yourself.

The next technique is to give compliments. People like to hear something good about their
character. So, whenever you can, find something good about the person you are talking to. It
does not have to be outrageous. It can be something as casual as "Hey! Nice dress".

BUILDING GUEST RAPPORT THROUGH


ORAL COMMUNICATION

Research shows that good communication can improve relationships, increase trust,
intimacy, and support. The opposite can also be true; poor communication can weaken
relationships and create mistrust. Relationships fail every day because of a lack of communication
skills. We either don't know how to communicate or we simply aren't interested in learning. All
relationships, at one time or another, experience stress. When this happens, it is vital that we have
the tools and skills necessary to deal with these issues in a positive and productive way. Many
people don't realize that they are being unreceptive in their communication skills and eventually
their negative communication leads to increased stress.

Talk to your guests


Face-to- Face
Be observant Being visible
Builds rapport and trust.
Training to ask for feedback
Bear in mind your guests will tell you things that won’t give feedback to your staff, and vice
versa. So, ask your staff what feedback they have received, and listen to their ideas on how to
make improvements and how to capitalize on positive feedback and your strengths.
HERE ARE SOME WAYS ON HOW TO BUILD RAPPORT

As we are looking for ways to improve our rapport with guests, customers, clients and
prospects let's cast our gaze to improve. It might surprise you to learn that even in something as
spontaneous as Improvisation there are rules to play.
Active Care: Don’t wait to be asked

3
Co-location: Just be nearby
Encouraging: Getting them to speak

You do not need to say anything to encourage people to keep talking. Here are a few things
you can do to keep them talking, as well as using other body language, such as:

Silence- Nature abhors a vacuum and so do people. Stay quiet and they will fill
the gap.
Raised eyebrows: Raise one or both (if you can't do one) eyebrows expectantly.
Tilted head: Tilt your head sideways, perhaps in combination with the eyebrow-
raise.
Nodding shows agreement and interest.
Noises: Make encouraging noises, such as 'uh-huh', 'mm', etc.
Holding Gaze: Eye to eye attraction
1. Encourage them to talk, then pay close attention, gazing directly at them. Look at their
face and into their eyes as if you cannot drag your eyes away.
2. Match their emotions in this. If they are describing achievements, look pleased. If they
are describing a hurt, look sympathetic.
3. Be careful with this. Do not stare -- use a soft and flattering gaze that says, 'you are
wonderful'. If they start to look at all uncomfortable, pull your eyes reluctantly away
with an apologetic brief smile. Glance back frequently as if you are dying to gaze at
them again.
4. An important note: Your eyes and the muscles around them signal much your emotions.
So, when you are interested or sympathetic, you must be interested or sympathetic.
