Excellent service has many faces.
Here is one of the most passionate.

Christian Huber

Trainer and coach, hotelier and restaurateur, host and traveller, lover of details with an eye for the whole and a perfectionist with a large heart

“In more than 35 years in the industry, from my apprenticeship in the hotel trade through to leading positions in private and chain hotels, I have learnt what hospitality qualities and service excellence mean, how joint objectives can be achieved and that the key to sustainable success lies in positive relationships and mutual appreciation among people.”

Good service is not remarkable.
It is pure magic.

Attitude

Excellent service is pure magic. It makes ordinary places into palaces and dull hours into precious treasure. It can even transform people. From somebody who is stressed to a bon viveur. And employees into a passionate team. That is exactly the focus of the training and coaching events of my service manufaktur.

Drawing on a network of trainers from different fields, I ensure that service employees are transformed into excellent service employees. This of course includes perfect actions and specialist knowledge; but the decisive factor is somewhat different: the contact between one person and the other. The aim is to create such pleasant encounters that a positive energy arises.

This is possible when service is understood not as a craft but as an attitude – and that is exactly how I live it. My training events are always also a form of personality training. Contrived templates for communication and conduct will never reach the hearts of our guests and customers, whereas an authentic presence and radiant joy in our own work will do so without fail. I show employees how to achieve this. To do so I use my own training concept, but the key is a high level of personal passion and a love of unique service moments. My team, and I myself, are simply entranced by top-class service, and that has an infectious quality.

For us and above all for our customers it is a stroke of luck that what we love most in our hearts also turns out to be economically beneficial. Happier employees, who appreciate one another and work together in harmony. Guests and customers who relish a sense of wellbeing and become loyal to a company or to a brand. And a shared success that motivates all participants, even into the long term.

We travel around the world for our customers and operate in many languages. In what is now more than 20 years we have trained and inspired over 10,000 employees in individual and team coaching events and supported some 50,000 employees in trainings and well over 400 individual projects.

Training events

How does your brand communicate itself in terms of service and sales? How is it present? We develop service and communications concepts to suit your company personality. On this basis, we then prepare a detailed training programme for your team and implement it with the right trainers from our network.

Executive coaching

We offer exclusive coaching events for decision-makers that not only provide individual training but create impulses for business questions and enable new potentials to be developed.
