Good-bye, Cindy — We’ll miss you!
The B.B. B&B said, “Farewell,” to its first customer today. Despite the threat of a pilots’ strike, Cindy was able to fly to Chicago today. With her help, the staff are now even better able to serve future customers of our B&B.
Although the staff haven’t finished putting together the book for this visit, we like to keep our friends informed. So, for an overview of her visit, and tantalizing information about the staff’s retreat, follow the link…
Cindy arrived Thursday morning.

First – the weather in Dublin and in NYC are roughly the same – crazy man!
Second – so, the BB B&B sounds like it’s off to a great start. I’m thrilled to hear you are constantly working on honing your skills. So, what sort of outcomes do you look for? and what type of measurements do you use for assessment? I’m doing some work on outcomes evaluation right now, and I’m interested in what another service industry group uses. ;)

Sounds like you make great tour guides. Have you thought about publishing tour brochures for your guests?
