The Power Of A Beam



Today is Date night with the absolute love of my life and I am so excited. It's been a while we went out alone what with having two kids and no help, its being mission impossible but this weekend my sister is home from Uni and she looks forward to spending time with the kids.

By 4pm I had completed all my tasks for the day at work and I was packed and ready to go. I was even contemplating going to meet my line manager if I could be allowed to leave 1 hour early 😂😂.
We were going to this restaurant I and hubby had heard so much about from our friends and I wanted to take my time so I could look my best.

Femi one of hubby's friends had gone to celebrate his girlfriends birthday there and he had only good things to say about them. Meanwhile the girlfriend turned fiance that night with a dazzling huge rock on her finger.
Femis' fiance told her sisters about the oh so amazing place where she was proposed to and so they planned a family dinner, needless to say their experience was a hit.
One of my hard to please friends Bukky had also gone there on a date and had nothing but praises for them.

All these good things I had heard made me look forward to tonight's outing. I was looking forward to trying this new place and also spending quality time with my husband outside our home.

As soon as I got home, I took a nice long shower, did my makeup and got dressed. I didn't want to be the reason someone will be pressing his horn from downstairs and tapping his fingers on the steering in impatience. I was taking no chances.



This post isn't a restaurant review. Nahhh.
It's about the excellent service these people practice that has drawn many to them and left their praises on the lips of those that have been there.
From the hostess who met us at the door with a bright and genuine smile on her face, all the servers were so courteous and friendly, with their signature smile. All of these made me feel warm, welcome and important.
I was at ease immediately.
I had such an enjoyable time, I didn't want the night to end.

Before leaving, I needed to use the ladies, I passed by a mini office and heard a staff on the phone taking reservations, I could hear the warmth and smile in his voice as he spoke to whomever was on the other end of the phone.
I was impressed anew by this establishment and the way they treated their customers. It was apparent they were obsessive about great customer service and were determined to go all out. One thing that distinguished their staff was the genuine warmth in their smile. They were all about their customers and it was obvious. Asides from the fine dining, the service was topnotch.

In rendering service of one kind or the other to people, either via telephone or face to face, the power of a smile cannot be over emphasized. It helps build a good first impression of your business, a customer will always prefer to do business with someone who is happy. 
Worthy of note is the number of referrals they keep getting as it was referral that made us go there also.

A smile is contagious and humans tend to copy emotions, so a good attitude on your part can improve your customers as well; this will help a lot in the sales and support process.
What are you going to be doing differently hence forth? Let me know in the comment section. Smile today 😁😁

Be Extra.

"You can start right where you stand and apply the habit of going the extra mile by rendering more service and better service than you are now being paid for".  Napoleon Hill. I love reading. Most of the people that know me can attest to this. You can be sure to find my nose buried in a book even right from the time I was really young.(Well, really young, because I am not old old right now) 😁😁 And as such, I was one of the happiest people when digital publishing became a thing and e- books were no longer an elite privilege. Years ago there came a new player on the scene, now currently one of the foremost digital publishers in Africa. As a matter of fact, this app was the next best thing since sliced bread that year. The app was available on android and coming soon for IOS and that was the issh Fam. I could read all I want via my mobile phone and on the go. You can imagine my obvious excitement. I was in ninth heaven.  The most interesting part was the plethora o...

I Did Not Kill My Mother!!!

'So my children can not kill me' I don't know whose Mum never said this. It's even sweeter when its said in Yoruba. For real though! That's how I felt tonight. This post is a testimony and a recount of the antics of Mr 4. If 'Drive' was a person, it would bear his name. Or even 'Persistence'. Photo credit @pexels.com Some mornings ago, I told the boys if they follow me to the bathroom immediately, I will let them watch something on my phone for a bit. Even though I was still pressing my phone and not ready to get up. This is a tactic that always works and allows me have peace for a bit. Lol. Judge not! We all have days like this. Before long we noticed Mr 4 was no longer in the room, we found him in the bathroom already with his bathing bowl, sponge and soap making a lather and splashing suds everywhere. Fast forward to last night, hubby went out and brought suya along. I don't remember telling this boy anything about bath...

And There Was Light

And there was light. Light when a cure for the pandemic is found. Light when isolation no longer exists Light when social distancing becomes a thing of the past. Light when our normal returns to normal.   Light when our security forces did their jobs Light when the police is actually our friend. Light when the youths are employed Light when vocations are promoted Light when one million boys are rehabilitated   Light when you can move around at 6pm, Without fear of your phone being snatched. Light when you can sleep all night, Without the noise of vigilantes whitsles Light when our houses are not covered in soot From burning tyres.   The dark is dark We crave Light.
