How Are You?
September 24th, 2008
Dermot, one of our directors has just got back from New York, which he said was fantastic. They really know how to do service he said; however they are a bit behind on sincerity. After an hour he had got a little tired with being asked, “how he was” when the questioner really didn’t want to know.
Having spent 7 months in the past I had this experience but countered this minor irritation with listing my woes, those of elderly relatives and even some I made up to maximise the effect. Watching the shock on people’s faces was priceless and then to finish it off the killer retort… “ You were asking how I was, weren’t you?”
If this were Ireland you’d be asked the question if the reply was “fine”, “good” or “okay” the question would be repeated, this time though, it would have a “really” tagged on for greater effect, as in “How are you really?”
At Cavendish Conference Venues we are well versed in the three S’s, Slick Service with Sincerity. When we ask a question we really want to know the answer and want you to enjoy the experience from start to finish.
Just what you need to have a nice day…….Really!
