Working in the cleaning industry involves communicating with clients and other staff members on a regular basis. Every housekeeper, must communicate with clients in a polite and helpful manner for the following reasons;

  • It is part of our job in the hospitality industry to make sure that we do everything we can to make the guest’s stay a happy one.
  • It is not enough to have OK service; the service must be excellent so that the guest will keep coming back.

Below are techniques when communicating with clients;

Show respect
  • Pick up signals that guests may need assistance.
  • Stop doing whatever you are doing while the guest is speaking to you.
  • Respect the guests’ right to make unusual requests.
  • Respect cultural differences.
  • Be sensitive to people with a poor grasp of the language.
  • If a guest talks to you – listen carefully to what he says, look him in the eye, smile and answer him.
Be Responsive
  • Give quick responses.
  • Acknowledge guests’ presence.
  • Take responsibility.
  • Always try your best to keep the guest happy and comfortable.
Be Courteous
  • Greet guests – say “Good morning / afternoon / evening, Sir / Madam”.
  • Use guest name if you know it.
  • Always be polite.
  • If you do not understand what the guest is saying, say “Pardon”. Do not look blank and say “Huh”.
Have Positive Body Language
  • Maintain appropriate distance.
  • Make eye contact.
  • Don’t be distracted.
  • Be attentive.
  • Show interest and smile.
Be professional
  • Have pride in yourself.
  • Have pride in your establishment.
  • Be confident.
  • Know about your establishment and the local attractions.
  • If the guests asks you to do something for him, say “Certainly, Sir” and do it straight away.
  • If the guests asks you for something you can’t help him with, refer him to someone who can e.g. “Sorry I can’t help you Madam, but I can call my supervisor to assist you”.
