Disney Customer Service Mindset

Relentless pursuit.

Disney Customer Service Mindset.

Customer service is simple – be nice enough to exceed the normal expectation.

You can be nicer if you have the ability (time, resources, energy, money, or set a new standard), but being nice enough to exceed the normal expectation is all that’s required.

Exceeding doesn’t discriminate, meaning any amount of effort that exceeds is enough to exceed, even if it’s an insignificant amount of effort.

Obviously the extra mile is a sure bet for exceeding customer expectations, but going the extra mile is not even remotely sustainable.

Going the extra inch – a seemingly insignificant effort – will not only exceed expectations, it is insanely easy to do.

As simple as making eye contact and smiling.

As simple as saying please and thank you.

As simple as introducing yourself, first.

As simple as initiating a warm salutation.

As simple as being assertively friendly – meaning if you see a customer who you can tell has a question, rather than wait for the question, ask the question, “May i help you find something?”

You were going to answer the question anyway, why not initiate it.

Why would you wait?

Ever.

Record like you mean it

Jody Maberry’s head is barely visible lower left. Our event photographer is in PIXAR shirt, and me sitting on the sidewalk outside the former Disney Institute main studio.

Record like you mean it.

What?

Reflecting this morning on the 48-hour eve of Season 3, Episode 3 release on February 7, 2020.

Jody Maberry and i have recorded over 50 episodes and yet publicly on iTunes, only two show.

If Disney Ran Your Life may not change the world, but i have no doubt it can change someone’s world.

It did mine.

Maybe yours.

Over-focus is the ultimate habit

Disney Keynote speaker
Tradition when leaving Glacier to return to Disney calls for one last photo in Apgar from the shore of Lake McDonald. A present reminder (one of hundreds or thousands) that there’s a remote possibility this is the last trip ever.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of this particular action:

Over focus on the things you use to under focus on or ignore.

Strip away all the non-essentials.

Learn to be intentional where you used to be unintentional.

There, you will begin your journey toward peace and contentment.

If Disney Ran Your Life season 3 is done

Sanibel sunrise
Even more context.

Jody Maberry and i recently finished Season 3 of my Podcast, If Disney Ran Your Life.

Eleven episodes.

Episode 10 was to be the season finale, but something told me to do one more episode – a buffer between Season 3 and Season 4.

Told you that to tell you this, Season 4 is focused entirely on Mind, the theme of this blog.

We recorded episode one of Season 4, Mind, a few days ago.

Heading to Sanibel Island tomorrow and plan to record the rest of the season there if possible; 10 episodes total, so nine more from the beach.
