Houston Economic Rebound; retail franchise locations
Houston has always been a boom or bust economy. Yet it is America’s third largest city with 5.5 million people. The ten-year economic cycles have been caused by oil price fluctuations. But as Houston diversifies its economy and matures it employs larger and larger percentages of folks in retail and service sectors. Let’s discuss some other economic issues during the last recession in Houston. Albertson’s pulled out of the Houston Market, Wrath left by Enron, Arthur Anderson Collapse, Continental Airline Lay offs, HP-Compaq merger and all the oil mergers just prior. All these large corporations hurt the Houston Economy along with the telecom layoffs too; but that w

Guests of hotels and resorts at the top end of the hospitality range of properties are being under-serviced. The impact is felt directly on the top line of sales and potentially indirectly through return visits.

The under-servicing is manifested at the organisation level through low levels of up-selling and cross-selling. Most hospitality staff do not see the value in cross-selling and up-selling for themselves or for their guests.

However, research by The Forum Corporation of North America confirmed that 88% of customers value being advised on products and services that better meet their needs. Further, 73% are interested in hearing about new products and services and 42 percent buy "sometimes" or "frequently"

The hospitality industry more than any other, has segments which desire to have their wants satisfied as well as their needs and appreciate an appropriate cross-sell or up-sell.

Guests using four star and five star resorts and hotels consist of three basic segments:

Leisure (tourist) guests
Conference guests and
Business guests

The needs and wants of the guests in each case go beyond the provision of somewhere to sleep, somewhere to eat and somewhere to conduct meetings.

Leisure guests at a resort or hotel clearly want to spend time away from their normal environment. Otherwise why would they come? They need good accommodation, pleasant staff, a variety of food experiences and efficient and effective service.

Tennis Warehouses
Tennis is a sport that is played between two players or between two teams of players. This game is played with a stringed racquet and a felt ball in a lawn, open ground or even an indoor stadium. When played outdoors, it is usually played on the grass court, clay court or even on hard court. This sport is fast gaining popularity and is being played by men, women, and children of all ages. Various national and international players encourage the game and advertise towards its promotion. Manufacturers fabricate various tennis gears such as clothing and other accessories for the sports personnel, which are then put up for sale in malls and stores. Numerous brands indu

Become A Trainer And Explode The Five Big Myths
Ever wondered if you could become a trainer? Perhaps you've considered enrolling on a train the trainer course, but something is stopping you. Well it's time to introduce the five big myths about being a trainer? Take a close look, because one of these could be holding you back.Myth 1: Those who can . . . do. Those who can’t . . . teach This idea has been repeated so often that many people assume it must be true. I can’t speak for other forms of education, but in corporate training there is no question, the people who make the best trainers generally happen to be the true experts in their field. Without this expertise they’d soon flounder in the

They want, however, to experience many different things which can be retained as a pleasant memory to be recounted amongst friends and family. For leisure guests a stay at a resort or hotel is not just about relaxing but about bragging rights which build their self esteem. They may want, for example, to have a dining experience that is significantly different from anything they would get at home.

Except for reservations staff and some front office staff, hotel and resort staff do not know enough about the services the property they work in provides to be able to advise leisure guests about the services that are available.

Similarly, conference guests need efficient handling of their conference sessions. Audiovisual must work first time, every time. Refreshments must be available at the time of a break commencing. An ability to be flexible in meeting changed break requirements is very desirable. Planned excursions and events must be executed smoothly.

Individual conference guests, however, often have further wants. Guests may want an upgrade in the wine package that is served with dinner. Guests as individuals may want, but be unaware of, the facility to provide a massage. Guests may want to play a round of golf after the conference is completed.

Most staff at a resort/hotel do not bring to the attention of a conference guest extra services that are available. Sometimes this is fuelled by a fear of doing the wrong thing by the conference organiser.

Conference organisers will have established rules about what is allowable as an expense or not. However, staff should not feel precluded from informing confe

Sam Zell, multibillionaire founder of Equity Residential (EQR) has approached the sale of his business the right way. Sellers of privately held businesses can learn a great deal from his approach. This article explores his process.

When businesses think of team building, business owners usually associate it with building their company’s internal workforce into a lean-mean fighting machine. Team building, however, should be extended to include external relationships such as those with other businesses. Enter joint ventures or JVs for short.

Striving higher is always the better option when looking for a job. It’s better to be challenged than bored. Don’t let fear and intimidation hold you back from achiving the position you want.
