What in the world can customer focused ...businesses possibly learn from the “Happiest Place on Earth®?” More than you can imagine.
In “Behind The Castle Walls,” self-professed “Disney Geek,” Ron Ruth (https://RonRuth.com) will take you on an inspiring journey into the creative and business genius of Walt Disney through a virtual fieldtrip of Walt’s boyhood home of Marceline, MO.
During your short time in Marceline, you’ll visit the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, the Disney family farm, the original Mainstreet USA and Ripley Park. You’ll also learn the impact Marceline had on Walt’s physical and guest centric design of Disneyland.
Ron also shares his observations and extensive research as a frequent visitor to Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Business owners and entrepreneurs will discover the essential elements of the world renown Disney Guest Service Delivery Process that not only attracts millions of annual visitors to the Disney Theme Parks, but it also transforms them into loyal, raving fans.
Disney’s Guest Service Delivery Process is broken down into 4 key elements to which every Cast Member must abide…Safety, Courtesy, Show, Efficiency.
These elements also serve as a compass for creating happiness and serving others. More than six decades later, these Guest Service Elements are the foundation for everything Disney does.
Any organization would be envious to have their key standards stand the same test of time. The best news is that you can use these same service elements as a transformative tool for your organization with similar results.
