So you actually work with a number of the most lovely manufacturers in hospitality and luxurious general. So it’s actually enjoyable to have the ability to speak to you at the moment.
JC Thompson – 00:01:31: Yeah, thanks. The locations are dangerous. And I used to be so bummed I didn’t get to go to Navigate. I’ve been listening to the podcast and I wished to do a reside one-on-one interview. So possibly subsequent yr.
Karen Stephens – 00:01:41: That’s proper. Nicely, we hope to have you ever there as a result of like I mentioned, we now have quite a lot of the identical clients and it truly is the most effective model of the enterprise that exhibits as much as our convention. So we’d like to have you ever.
JC Thompson – 00:01:51: Yeah, thanks. This type of feels full circle. It’s just a little bit bizarre for me as a result of like I’ve shared in a few of our pre-interview stuff, the final on-site work that I did in a hospitality sense was for a luxurious resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. And this was in, I feel, 2008 or early 2009. And truly, Mark and a pair different individuals from the Revinate group got here and pitched that unique dashboard. And I used to be the standard director on the time. So you may think about it was like having a horse and seeing a automobile, proper? So I used to be like, I can’t consider what I’m going to have the ability to do with this knowledge. And so it’s been form of enjoyable in parallel to, sure, have quite a lot of my clients additionally use a few of your platforms, but in addition simply form of watch the corporate develop up. So it’s been enjoyable.
Karen Stephens – 00:02:35: Evolve over time. Nicely, that’s proper. It’s humorous to do not forget that in 2008, it was so revolutionary to have your entire on-line evaluations consolidated in a single place. That was actually thoughts blowing as a result of that was an actual downside for motels.
JC Thompson – 00:02:49: Yeah, 100%.
Karen Stephens – 00:02:49: Okay, nice. So inform us just a little bit about Pursuant. So I do know this can be a firm that you just based, it feels like initially of this yr. Clearly, you’ve had a protracted background in teaching and doing different issues, however inform us on the core, what’s Pursuance?
JC Thompson – 00:03:02: Yeah, completely. So I actually based Pursuance with the purpose of in-depth, deep dive participating with a really particular subset of shoppers. I used to be a marketing consultant for 10 to 12 years within the area working, such as you mentioned, with luxurious hospitality, but in addition quite a lot of boutique and aspirational hospitality manufacturers. And I really feel like quite a lot of corporations which can be on the market within the area, they satisfaction themselves on switching up who engages with the shopper. And I actually wished to do the alternative of that. I wished to generate private relationships with these clients, embed myself within the operation, and actually assist them drive outcomes, notably with working individually with the leaders. And in order that’s what I dedicated to do. I mentioned, hey, I’m solely going to work with 26 shoppers a yr. That’s what our agency focuses on. And we’re going to essentially deep dive and drive enormous outcomes for them.
Karen Stephens – 00:03:50: Wow. In order that’s actually fascinating to me. So let’s form of unpack that just a little bit. So that you’re coming in, let’s say you begin with a luxurious model. So that you are available in and also you’re serving to them not solely enhance operational effectivity, however then you definately’re additionally together with that teaching a few of their management group as effectively. Is that the way it works? Like simply take me by simply so I can get a greater understanding.
JC Thompson – 00:04:10: Yeah, that’s precisely proper. So I’ll use a really particular instance when it comes to scope. Plenty of the work that I’ve executed over my profession has been within the income technology area, which once more has tied instantly again to income. So taking visitor suggestions or taking gross sales knowledge, principally, and serving to drive agent efficiency by that. Nicely, this provides me the chance to not solely work one-on-one with the agent, however form of shift the paradigm. So quite a lot of corporations on the market are doing gross sales coaching and a few are doing it very well. And a few are form of doing the identical factor in every single place they go. However regardless, quite a lot of the measurement of that gross sales coaching success is in QA, is in secret outlets of the brokers. And one of many issues I did earlier than I began this firm was speak to the top consumer, the top buyer, but in addition the workers or brokers which can be truly delivering this telephone name or standing in a entrance desk, checking individuals in. And what I discovered from speaking to them was the factors drives them loopy. They hate it. And it actually creates human robots. And what we would like is human emotional connection. And that’s actually what the shopper desires too. And all of the analysis I did earlier than I began this firm mentioned, the shopper desires a human connection. That’s why they’re calling. That’s why they’re coming there. So actually, if we are able to strip again the factors, if we might strip again the Q&A, nonetheless measure progress, nonetheless measure towards metrics, however actually spend our time participating with leaders, participating with brokers one-on-one, that’s what drives success. That’s what drives income. In order that’s what my firm does. So as an alternative of doing QA, as an alternative of doing secret store calls on a reservations group, let’s say at a luxurious lodge, we spend six months after every program, govt teaching and dealing one-on-one with the leaders on the best way to take the income knowledge and provides individuals suggestions, the best way to maintain individuals accountable, the best way to arrange a drip marketing campaign of content material that we’re working with brokers on. In order that’s form of what we do otherwise than anybody else in area at the moment.
Karen Stephens – 00:06:05: Proper. I really like that. So I feel one of many buzzwords proper now in every single place is clearly AI, synthetic intelligence. And I feel you hit on one thing fairly particular there, although. I feel that I’d like to get your suggestions on this. The extra that AI is available in, there’s definitely a spot. I feel, Revinate, we take into consideration, we wish to use AI to populate the appropriate items of information on the proper time, whether or not that’s in entrance of a res agent or any individual checking any individual in. However on the finish of the day, it’s the human connection. That’s why persons are calling the telephone quantity. They don’t wish to speak to a bot. They’re not bugging on-line. So are you able to speak just a little bit about the way you assist groups? There’s quite a lot of knowledge on the market, however how do you be sure that it’s private in order that the top of the day, that visitor expertise is the most effective it may be?
JC Thompson – 00:06:47: Yeah. So initially, I 100% agree. We’re going to wish each issues. We’re going to wish HI and AI. I would like human intelligence, however I additionally need synthetic intelligence. And we all know from our analysis that 80% of the individuals which can be calling, all they need is affirmation that they’ve made the appropriate alternative. Did I get the most effective worth? Is that this the appropriate place? Is that this the appropriate worth? So actually educating these brokers or whoever is taking these calls that’s a human being to be that comforting voice to say, that is the most effective deal. That is the appropriate place. That is precisely what you wished. The client’s already executed the analysis. And I do know from going out and interesting face-to-face with quite a lot of these groups, whether or not it’s at an enormous international contact middle or whether or not it’s onsite at a boutique lodge that has 50 rooms, is persons are calling going, I’m your web site and seeing X. Is that this proper? So quite a lot of it’s simply affirming the alternatives that the shopper’s already made. And I simply don’t see AI doing that, a minimum of within the subsequent three years.
Karen Stephens – 00:07:43: I feel you’re precisely proper. I feel the extra it rolls out, the extra persons are going to need that human connection. And for those who’re doing it proper, you know the way to leverage the info on the proper time to get the appropriate visitor on the proper bundle with the appropriate provide, all of it on the similar time. In order that’s actually fascinating to me.
JC Thompson – 00:07:59: And I feel that after I take a look at it, I form of take a look at it at a 50-50. You may have nice knowledge about who the shopper is, what they’re buying, what conversion is. You may have all that stuff. However on the opposite aspect of it, in case your leaders don’t know the best way to present suggestions to shift the habits of the agent, it doesn’t actually matter. After which conversely, what I see extra usually, and that is, I feel, how the connection that I’ve had with Revenate has advanced through the years, is extra actually because I’m going into a few of these extra boutique or extra unbiased lodge areas, they don’t have any knowledge. Which is terrifying to me. I’m like, what do you imply you don’t understand how many individuals referred to as? So I feel plugging that in and turning on that mild bulb for them after which including to it, and right here’s what to do with that knowledge. Right here’s the best way to present suggestions to individuals is basically vital. It’s actually form of truthfully unhappy to me how many individuals are ready of management on the market that don’t know the best way to give individuals suggestions, the best way to maintain individuals accountable. And that’s actually form of the present we like to provide again to our clients is, right here’s the best way to have that dialog and hold retention and decrease turnover. And let’s not have individuals depart. We all know in 5 years in hospitality on common, near 100% of those workers are going to show over. And I feel that’s been the consulting enterprise mannequin is depend on individuals leaving. So you need to return and do extra work. Nicely, we’re doing the alternative of that. We’re attempting to get as few individuals as attainable to depart. And to do this, we’ve acquired to A, spend money on these individuals, see them as future leaders, but in addition give them the instruments to make use of the info, to shift human habits.
Karen Stephens – 00:09:30: I might like to click on down just a little bit extra in your teaching with management and suggestions, as a result of I do suppose hopefully individuals can recognize if you’re a res gross sales agent and you’re taking a telephone name, particularly if you’re in a central res middle, you’re representing a number of properties. There’s quite a lot of stuff you’ve acquired occurring. You’ve acquired to principally make a reserving. You must perceive what’s occurring with every of the motels, the best way to communicate to the particular providers. All of this stuff are taking place. You’re being recorded. You may be secret shopped by Forbes or another person. So these brokers are below an incredible quantity of strain. How do you coach management to provide nice suggestions that retains these brokers engaged and feeling good about themselves within the midst of the entire a number of issues which can be occurring concurrently?
JC Thompson – 00:10:14: I feel it’s a few issues. One, within the 30 days following the onsite work that we do, I’m solely on the lookout for optimistic issues. Order two to a few issues in each single name that went effectively. And generally it’s so simple as, hey, you answered the telephone. Nice job, proper? As a result of that might be it. That might be the one good factor. I’ll inform you although, from offering suggestions to lots of people, sometimes persons are tougher on themselves than you’re going to be on them anyway. So I’m sitting down with an agent to say, hey, what do you suppose went effectively on that decision? They usually’re saying nothing. It was horrible. So that you’re saying, effectively, come on. There have been some issues that had been good there. So I feel it’s discovering what’s good. And I feel that’s what a coach is at all times doing is on the lookout for what’s good in a state of affairs. In order that’s factor one. After which I feel the error leaders make is attempting to do an excessive amount of is saying, effectively, right here’s the ten issues I feel you may do. Proper? And so I actually attempt to concentrate on one factor, possibly two issues which can be actually key initiatives that might actually, A, enhance the conversion, however B, make the agent really feel extra snug and assured that they’re doing it effectively. And that goes again to that standards, proper? Plenty of the suppliers within the area, and I’m not talking about high quality assurance. I wish to discuss Forbes and LQA too, as a result of I feel there’s a simple solution to resolve that downside that the majority motels have is how do I nail the Forbes store, but in addition not create robots? And there’s a joyful medium there, it’s attainable. However quite a lot of the factors that’s within the area at the moment is it’s 40, 50 level standards. And I feel that’s a part of the mannequin is for a gross sales coaching individual to return in yr after yr, they should overcomplicate the factors as a result of they’ve to show you the best way to navigate it. However actually we’ve been capable of put a 5 level standards in place, a quite simple standards, bake Forbes and LQA into the cake in order that for those who’re following the method, you’re already utilizing the visitor title. You’re already welcoming them. You’re already doing all of the issues that they’re going to search for. You’ll nail the Forbes half. I wish to make that the minimal expectation and get to the enjoyable half, which is creating human connection, making this individual excited that they’re going to return to this place. And that’s the joyful medium between these two issues that I feel you are able to do. However I might problem any chief to return and take a look at the factors that’s in place and go, is that this killing the morale, positivity, pleasure on my group? As a result of we’re so targeted on checking off these 300 packing containers. And in the meantime, the shopper could be very sad. The opposite factor I might say, I feel it’s form of enjoyable with that, enjoyable in a sarcastic form of manner, is the primary factor I hear from reservations leaders, income leaders is frustration that their worst worker, probably the most poisonous individual on the group, will get 100% on the outlets. In the event that they’ve realized to sport the system and that ought to inform you my standards is horrible as a result of yeah, the shopper may need bought, however take heed to this name, you recognize, you wish to pull your hair out. And I hear that on a regular basis is, okay, what do I do? My worst worker, is my highest income producer. That’s the primary factor I hear.
Karen Stephens – 00:13:01: Proper. Completely. They usually’re utterly lacking the emotional connection, which is why we’re all on this biz. I really feel like for those who’re in hospitality and also you’re tried and true and also you adore it, you’re there since you sincerely wish to ship the most effective trip of a lifetime, the most effective expertise of a lifetime to whoever’s on the telephone or standing in entrance of you as you verify in on the lodge. So I feel what you mentioned there may be actually vital. And I really like the thought of narrowing it down to 5 issues. You understand, take a look at all that.
JC Thompson – 00:13:29: Let’s incentivize, let’s compensate individuals on emotional connection, not on, did you say the title thrice? One thing’s been misplaced there that we now have to get again to. I feel for those who and I had this dialog seven years in the past, I feel we’d possibly have been speaking about, is the voice aspect, is somebody calling a lodge or a vacation spot going to go away altogether? Nicely, I feel that’s been confirmed that’s not true. There are a excessive proportion of individuals which can be prepared to make these buy choices with out speaking to anyone. However I feel that lots of people need that. They wish to reaffirm, am I making the appropriate alternative? Is that this an excellent use of my cash? And I don’t suppose that essentially correlates with age. For some time, we’re like, oh, effectively, anybody below 30, they’re simply going to guide it on-line. Nicely, that’s proving to be unfaithful.
Karen Stephens – 00:14:13: It truly is. And I imply, I would be the first one to place my palms up. When Revinate acquired NavVis, I assumed, voice channel, what are we doing? Just like the voice channel. It’s going away. After which, in fact, now, wow, I imply, we’ve had NavVis for 3 years now or OneRevinate. It’s wonderful the way it matches into the platform. However you actually begin to perceive what a crucial channel that’s. And the individuals which can be calling in on that channel, it’s actually ensuring that they’re, as you mentioned, you’re affirming that this buy that I’m going to make that’s my vacation for the yr or the household reunion or no matter it may be, is the most effective it may be. And that voice on the opposite aspect of the road is giving me the entire issues to fill within the gaps. In order that, I feel, is basically crucial. It’s not going to go away. My query for you’d be, how are you beginning to see the digital transformation affect that voice channel? And the way are these complementary so that individuals begin to perceive how they get the web expertise after which the ultimate piece with the voice?
JC Thompson – 00:15:11: Yeah, so I’ve labored with quite a lot of shoppers to utterly rebuild verbiage on their web site. In order that. It speaks to the voice expertise. It’s delivered in the very same format and spirit that one of many brokers would. As a result of if that’s, in impact, the start of the connection, virtually throughout the board, if the primary interplay they’re going to have on the lodge is thru the verbiage that’s on that web site, effectively, let’s construct that web site to talk to it precisely just like the agent’s going to once they, regardless, are going to name anyway. So actually fascinated by the visitor journey as beginning sooner than we did earlier than. So earlier than, we’d have mentioned the visitor journey begins in any human-to-human contact, and outline all these contact factors. Nicely, now we’re shifting out additional forward and saying, effectively, yeah, this e mail is the start of that. This interplay by the online portal or by cell is the primary interplay. So how are we trying on the content material and never simply the phrases which can be there, whether or not it’s written by a human being or AI, and the way it’s structured, how the sentences are even structured in order that they match precisely the form of expertise that I wish to have voice-to-voice? I do know it’s rather more efficient primarily based on our analysis, to have a voice of connection. So get that individual to spend extra and in addition to make the acquisition. However that doesn’t imply we are able to’t make some small tweaks within the written and visible expertise, too, in order that it feels extra cohesive. It seems like a part of the identical story. I feel that’s the place these items are coming collectively.
Karen Stephens – 00:16:36: It’s just like the definition of omni-channel. It’s like regardless of how the visitor, as a result of I do suppose that individuals do have a number of contact factors earlier than they make that reserving. And so I really like the concept that you positively should be constant in your positioning the entire time, in order that’s crucial.
JC Thompson – 00:16:51: And what I speak to digital entrepreneurs or PR or social individuals about is you’re establishing a gotcha. As a result of when individuals name in that voice channel, they virtually have this of their pocket. In order that they’re going to take heed to what you current when it comes to choices. They’re going to take heed to you current the lodge, the resort, no matter. After which a proportion of them are going to go, huh? Nicely, I noticed one thing completely different on-line. It’s like, it’s so vital that that story is cohesive since you’re principally establishing a neighborhood grievance division.
Karen Stephens – 00:17:21: Which isn’t what you wish to do.
JC Thompson – 00:17:23: Not what you wish to do. Not the way you get individuals to remain at work.
Karen Stephens – 00:17:26: Superior. So given your intensive expertise in model repositioning inside hospitality, how does your organization combine the lodge tech stack and its methods to assist shoppers differentiate themselves? So are you additionally advising on, do you go in and also you’re like, okay, you talked about a few of your shoppers, they don’t even have any knowledge. So what’s your strategy? As a result of as a know-how vendor, I feel the worst case state of affairs you may have is simply caught on prime of one another that’s not interacting. So is that a part of what you do with motels as effectively is advise them on the best way to strategy that?
JC Thompson – 00:17:58: Yeah, effectively, I feel as a part of the preliminary discovery in these greater model tasks, that’s a part of the primary dialog is, okay, let’s outline the KPIs. That’s the place we, within the discovery, discover out there isn’t a knowledge or there’s very unclean knowledge. So sometimes that’s the place that introduction takes place. I don’t suppose it will shock anybody to say these Forbes, Michelin, these suppliers are who most individuals reference to say, we wish to be a clean star or a key or decide a measurement. However I feel on the again finish of that, a part of our job because the consultants is to tell them, effectively, right here’s the info you actually care about. And right here’s the metrics. If I used to be working this lodge, I’d be . And that’s sometimes the place a platform like yours comes into play the place we’re saying, yeah, these aren’t knowledge factors. That is what you’re truly on the lookout for. And educating them not solely the best way to use the device, which I do know you all do very effectively, however educating them once more, the best way to take the info and supply suggestions in a standup assembly on that knowledge. That motivates individuals as an alternative of decimating them.
Karen Stephens – 00:18:58: Yeah. Actionable outcomes. Yeah. I adore it. Take it a optimistic strategy. And that simply is sensible. Individuals need to be ok with what they’re doing and get suggestions in a manner that they will motion and really feel higher about.
JC Thompson – 00:19:09: Completely. However for those who don’t have entry to the info, whether or not it’s good or dangerous, you’re driving blind.
Karen Stephens – 00:19:14: That is sensible. Now, I wish to go manner again as a result of I simply suppose that is so fascinating, your trajectory of how you bought from the place you began inside the lodge. If I’m on the market, I’m listening to you and I’m somebody who desires to get into this line of labor. Are you able to simply give us an thought of how you bought right here?
JC Thompson – 00:19:30: Positive. So I went to high school for hospitality at Arizona State, go Devils. And my first job was driving an airport shuttle for a Marriott lodge. And I’ll inform you what I realized from that job was that you just deal with each buyer the identical as a result of I might have a household of 5 with 40 baggage and tip me nothing. After which I’d have a enterprise traveler who carried his personal briefcase, provide you with 100 greenback invoice. So that you by no means know. In order that’s how I began my profession. After which I grew to become a concierge and labored in quite a lot of roles for 4 seasons, entrance workplace primarily. However I ended up in residential gross sales there, which was form of cool. And that side of hospitality, I feel lots of people don’t get to expertise. It was fractional possession of places in Punta Mesa, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jackson Gap, and Scottsdale. So it was cool assembly a buyer that’s so obsessive about the model, they’re prepared to really buy actual property at it. I feel lots about that and the way that formed my trajectory after that, as a result of it’s actually the shopper that by no means leaves. Consider your worst buyer. Nicely, this one comes again each single day. So it’s like, how do you arrange a relationship, a long-term relationship with that individual? And that’s the place a few of these private relationships and possibly quite a lot of the muse of how I structured my firm got here from is like, I wish to actually know individuals. I don’t wish to simply have them come for 3 days. I wish to get to know these individuals and know their household and know their habits and their… Likes and issues like that. However alongside the way in which, I had administrators of gross sales and advertising and marketing, notably, that noticed one thing in me and introduced me alongside to the subsequent section. That undertaking in Scottsdale, changing into a high quality director, that place didn’t exist at motels at the moment, within the early aughts. Plenty of roles and alternatives that I noticed a necessity, and I went to a GM and I pitched it. And that’s what I might say to anybody that’s on the market that has aspirations, however they go, I don’t match into the field that everybody mentioned. I keep in mind vividly being in a administration and coaching program, which lots of people out and in there proper now, going by housekeeping, going by rooms, understanding all of the points of the operation. And everybody in that group was like, I wish to be a GM sometime. And my response was, that feels like a nightmare. I didn’t have that aspiration. And all these individuals, they achieved no matter they got down to do. Some it took 5 years, some it took 20. However I at all times mentioned, gosh, I do know there’s this want within the area. And I might go to the GM, to my asset supervisor, to any of these individuals and pitch it. You want me on this position, and right here’s why. And so I might inform anyone on the market, in case you have aspirations like that, if you wish to work for your self and be a marketing consultant, or if you wish to be a director of X that doesn’t exist but on the lodge, go pitch it. Since you’d be stunned how many individuals on the market in our area, which isn’t precisely identified for innovation, let’s be actual, would take it on and go, okay, let’s pilot it for 12 months and see. And that’s how the entire journey began for me, goes to an asset supervisor or GM and saying, you want a high quality director. It is a mess. You could have all this income knowledge. You don’t know what to do with it. Put me in, coach. In order that’s actually the excessive degree of the way you go from driving an airport shuttle to consulting with a number of the finest motels on the earth.
Karen Stephens – 00:22:36: I adore it. And you’ve got labored with some lovely manufacturers. I imply, completely wonderful. So I really like that. So, I imply, principally, on the finish of the day, you’d say, take a threat, suppose outdoors the field. And I imply, you recognize, you suppose, too, what’s the worst case state of affairs? You get to know.
JC Thompson – 00:22:51: You continue to have a job, and it’s identical to, hey, go pitch it. That’s so cool.
Karen Stephens – 00:22:55: Okay, so the final query for you, how has your strategy to teaching individuals modified through the years? As you’ve advanced, what’s one factor that you’d give any recommendation on the market for somebody who’s within the teaching trade? How has it advanced over time?
JC Thompson – 00:23:07: Yeah, positive. Nicely, I suppose that’s the paradox. One of many issues I realized is the coach doesn’t give recommendation, which is basically laborious to do. The coach principally says, hey, after I was within the state of affairs, right here’s what I did. They inform a narrative and you are taking from that story what you would like. You are taking the course. So the coach form of makes use of a softer hand in that manner, which I feel has been an evolution, notably for, effectively, myself, however anybody in that area that you just’re so used to a pal calling you up and saying, inform me what to do, proper? And so the coach as an alternative says. Nicely, right here’s a state of affairs I used to be in like that and what I did in hopes that the individual will gleam what’s vital for themselves. So I feel that’s factor one. After which the opposite factor I feel has modified over time, however I feel has been drastically helpful each to me and the people who I work with is accountability. I’ve individuals undergo me what they wish to discuss upfront. I take time to organize as a result of it exhibits them that they’re vital. And I took focus and energy. I carry my tales that I wish to inform, however I by no means stroll in going, hey, what do you wish to discuss at the moment? So I’m at all times ready upfront. They’re getting the utmost output out of our one hour and 90 minutes, no matter that timing may be. However that makes it about them and never about me as a result of I would like them to get most profit. I would like them to depart the dialog going. That was wonderful. I might by no means have executed that by myself, but it surely’s not about me. I’m simply the mirror.
Karen Stephens – 00:24:28: I feel that’s nice recommendation for leaders as effectively. Whether or not you’re a coach otherwise you’re a pacesetter, I feel accountability for your self as effectively and making ready that area for the worker. I feel that’s incredible recommendation all the way in which round.
JC Thompson – 00:24:40: Yeah, and I might say to a pacesetter, for those who don’t have the assets, the cash essential to have a coach, or you’ve workers coming to you consistently asking questions that you recognize they know the reply to, my recommendation to you’d be create an setting that they will share these. Create a framework. I’m going to provide you one hour each week. You carry me no matter you wish to discuss. You carry me your record. And I feel you will discover that individuals which can be consistently interrupting you, consistently bringing you questions that you really want them to reply, for those who construction it, for those who put a framework round it, you will discover the questions will get much less and fewer. As soon as they know the area to suppose with you is there, that’s when the schizophrenic nature stops and folks calm they usually focus. So I might warning any chief on the market, for those who’re feeling chaos, for those who’re feeling these fixed uncertainties and questions out of your group to mirror, are you giving individuals sufficient area?
