Rapport-Building Greetings

Suggested Strategy: One thing members appreciate is being

acknowledged upon entering an establishment. Use third-party

questioning and role-playing techniques to bring awareness to this area

of concern.

Suggested Questions:

→ Third-Party Question : If your best friend were here right now, and they had to evaluate your greetings to members, what do you think they

would say? Why do you think they would give the response they did?

→ Self-Actualized Question: What do we need to do together to help you deliver engaging and genuine greetings every time a member

approaches you?

Suggested Activities:

→ Define & Coach: Often, your definition of an engaging and genuine greeting may not align with what the employee believes to be engaging

or genuine. Maybe the disconnect is their main problem standing in the

way from being successful. Together, come up with a definition of what

engaging and genuine greetings looks like, the behaviors that need to

occur with each definition, and how the employee can specifically meet

each objective.
