Client Testimonial
The Spa at Silver Legacy opened its doors for business in Reno, Nevada. During the training and leadership onboarding process we had the great opportunity to work with Lisa Starr and Wynne Business. Her insight into exceptional levels of guest service, guest expectation and overall functions of the spa was definitely a huge contributor to ensuring that our spa team members, most of them working in a spa for the first time, were able to build a good foundation for success. It was a great honor to work with Lisa on this project and to have our team pointed in the right direction for growth and success.
Lisa Starr has been a tremendous support and breath of fresh air to our management team as we prepared to open our new spa business. Lisa came to our spa prior to opening and conducted two days of sales and services training to about 25 of our new spa employees; she not only trained in the basics of elevated guest service, but she also spent time on team-building exercises as well. The team spent quality time with an industry professional which gave me peace of mind and the time I needed to focus on the additional tasks needed in opening the new spa.
As a result of Lisa’s training and development, our team was better prepared to greet our guests and found the information provided extraordinarily useful. Lisa was inspirational and motivational, and as a result, the team morale was high at the onset and they were excited to be a part of a great new adventure. The technicians understood their role in building rapport with guests while keeping their eyes on sales results. The front desk learned the importance of their role as the first and last touchpoint for the guest experience. All in all, Lisa’s training gave my team the self-confidence to do their jobs with the utmost assurance.
