Is 99% Good Enough?

by Harry Nobles, February 1999 
 
If  99% of your guests are satisfied, that is good enough.  Right? Maybe not.  While it is good, it may not be good enough.

Consider this: 99% ACCURACY =

  • 6,150,000 deaths in airplane crashes each year
  • 46,720,000 letters lost or delivered to the wrong address each year
  • 21,000 incorrect drug prescriptions each year
  • 26,000 incorrect surgical procedures each year
99% guest satisfaction at a 200-room hotel = 220 dissatisfied guests each year.  (Based on 75% occupancy and 2.5 nights average stay)

How much does a dissatisfied guest cost you?
