Welcome to INNsider Tips.
In today’s INNsider Tip, I will talk about How to Overcome Objections When Upselling.
Before I let you go, I wanted to tell you we’ll be taking a short hiatus and this will be our last episode until mid-September.
No. we are not taking a tour of Europe or running away to a secluded tropical island.
We’ve been listening and are going to be revamping Keystone Hospitality Property Development.
While you are hopefully enjoying your summer or for those of you in the southern hemisphere, winter, we’ll be working to make Keystone HPD even better for you.
I’ll send the occasional notes to let you know how things are going and about the relaunching plans. And before you know it, we’ll be back.
Bigger and better than ever.
Thank you for all your past support, and we look forward to being even a more valuable resource for you in the future.
See you soon.

Operating a successful hospitality property just got easier.
You’re a heartbeat away from the crucial training, advice & support you need to plan, create & grow a prosperous and rewarding, hotel, resort, inn or bed & breakfast.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You have a great idea for a hospitality property, but don't know where to start or how to turn it into a real plan…
You've spent countless hours working your business, but your organizational structure is lacking, and you’re tired of having to do everything yourself…
Your employees are not living up to your standards and the good ones leave…
Your marketing is not working as it should, and you’re not reaching your target audience…

Giving Your Employees the Freedom to Make Decisions at Work
Welcome to INNsider Tips.
In today’s INNsider Tip, I will talk about giving your employees the freedom to make decisions at work.
When a rule exists that absolutely has to be followed, give the reason why so it is clear to your employees, for example, safety regulations or specific laws, otherwise encourage them to think outside the box, especially when it comes to customer service.

In today’s INNsider Tip, I will talk about how to schedule a training program.
Acquiring the knowledge to do one task at a time will help your employees gain confidence, and as their confidence grows, so does their desire to master the next segment.
Avoid the temptation to over-talk and micromanage.
Both of these tactics signal that you lack confidence in your employee's abilities. Quite often these tactics are enough to have good potential employees quit.
We recommend these guidelines when training new employees, but this is just the beginning.
Continue watching, reading or listening and I'll share some specifics that should be covered in the initial training...

In today’s INNsider Tip, I will talk about growing your employees.
When a hospitality property is small or independent, what is the best way to train new staff and keep them passionate about their work?
This is a good question to ask yourself.
There is always something new to learn. The day you stop learning is the day you stop living. We should all pick up new skills, ideas, viewpoints and ways of working every day. This is not a rule for your work but a rule for life.

I have seen hospitality property owners go from one extreme to another when it comes to their hiring process.
One property owner might take the time to study the candidate and ask thoughtful questions while another might look at a new person and say "do know how to use a computer? Okay, you are hired."
For it to work, the interview process has to be consistent. It has to be scripted the same way every time.
As in all other tasks in your hospitality property, your hiring process should be documented in your operations manual.

Welcome to INNsider Tips.
I have mentioned in the past that you have to think of your property as a franchise and that your operations manual is your first property model.
Today's tip is how to start thinking of your property model as a systems-dependent business, not a people-dependent business.
Your system, your operations, has to work flawlessly, even without you.
Every possible detail of your business system will be first tested and scrutinized intensively in your property model.
"There will be no detail too trivial, you will have to pay attention to all the little things."
And then what you should soon begin to realize, is that you are now working on your business and not on it.
"Your life and business are two totally separate things."
Continue watching, reading or listening and I'll explain what considerations will you have to take and factor when working with a first property model.

How to Create An Operations Manual
Now, I understand every hospitality property, independent hotel, resort, inn or bed and breakfast could be a little different but I am going to share an operations manual model that works.
Don't plan on racing through this exercise, it's going to take time.
I recommend that you take some quiet time, away from all the action, a pen and notebook, and write down all the responsibilities required to run your property.
When you feel this is complete, assigned headings to the responsibilities. I don't mean individual names but instead titles. When doing this exercise you have to think of yourself as a corporation, not an owner of a business.
"Think big picture"

Welcome to the INNsider Tips.
Today, I will continue talking about being self-aware and setting up your organizational strategy.
A central belief of most personal development philosophies is that to have a wonderful life one must take complete responsibility for it and everything that happens in it.
As the owner of an independent hotel, resort, inn or bed & breakfasts, you and you alone have manifested any problems or uncomfortable situations that have occurred.
Passing blame to or not being supportive of your employees can develop a disease that can destroy your business and negatively influence your life.
Your problems don't go away until you take responsibility for them.
Alright, you might be thinking "What does all this have to do with setting up an organizational strategy?"

The last couple of tips were about opening your hospitality property.
Today’s tip is before you start building or renovating, walk around and visualize everything.
You want to draw out every aspect of your property and an even better option would be to have a three-dimensional model built. You want to understand how all aspects of your property will work together before the first nail is hammered or concrete is poured.
I had mentioned you need to have a budget and stick to it but it's also important to be flexible when necessary.
