The Ordinary Heroes & Their
Extraordinary Service
• The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai is ranked number 20 by Condé Nast
Traveler in the overseas business hotel category.
• Employees gave customer service a whole new meaning during the
terrorist strike.
• As many as 11 Taj Mumbai employees laid down their lives while
helping between 1,200 and 1,500 guests escape..
• Designing an organization for extreme customer centricity requires
several dimensions, the most critical of which Taj has managed to
do.
CRM at Taj Palace, Mumbai
• Guest Preference Sheet
• Handling Complaints
• Fidelo – A Property Management System
• Wow Card
• GRE Courtesy Call
• GSTS (Guest Satisfaction Tracking System)
THE GAP MODEL ANALYSIS
A conceptual model,
developed to
qualitatively
measure service
quality.
Identifies five
gaps within the
process of any
service design
and delivery,
which, in this case,
leads to
dissatisfaction of
guests.
THE COMMUNICATION GAP
• The Taj group has become a synonym for royalty worldwide
• The communication that is established with the consumers is
extensive and effective
• The only gap that existed here is the inability of the hotel to
communicate to its consumers beforehand that the Wi-Fi
service provided in the rooms is chargeable separately as per
usage
CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Taking feedback not only from the external customers but also
internal customers
• Proper check on the hotel staff and processes’ efficiency by the
management
• Regular track on the sales data for further leads and follow up
• Treat all customers equally
