Nothing is more important to the future success of golf and hospitality businesses than member and guest retention and growth.
And this can only be accomplished through a properly trained, satisfied, loyal and productive staff.

"Profits there must be, but the interests of customers and not profits are the first consideration."  
Matthew Gloag, founder, The Famous Grouse Scotch Whiskey 1909

Very few individuals in golf, hospitality, or for that matter, any business, including those in upper management, have ever been exposed to formal leadership, management or customer service training. How, then, can they be expected to most effectively lead, manage or guide others to reach maximum performance in these areas - - - and RETAIN the best ones as employees? They can’t.

The cost of ineffective management to businesses is mindboggling:

• Employee turnover is estimated to exceed 30% annually in the non-food sector of the hospitality industry. hotelmarketingstrategies.com
  
  
• It costs up to 50% of annual salary to replace an entry-level employee; 150% for middle-level ones. WebProNews
  
  
• Most people leave their jobs because of their bosses. "The Top 8 Reasons Your Best People are About to Quit" - - - forbes.com

You do the math for your business.
