In episode #120 of The CXChronicles Podcast we welcomed Paul Rutter, Founder & CEO of Smooth Sailing Communication & Cruise & Entertainment Director at Royal Caribbean, one of the world's largest cruise line operators!
After spending 25+ years in the hospitality industry, Paul has discovered how to go beyond a “perfect” customer experience. Being on the high seas has taught him that through approaching customer service with the intent to exceed his customer’s expectations, rather than just meet them, higher levels of customer satisfaction, retention, loyalty, and repeat business can be experienced.
As a Senior Executive, Paul has managed and guided some of the largest and most luxurious cruise ships in the world, taking him to speak on stages all over the globe where living with his customers, clients and co-workers was a way of life.
Paul is author of “Repeat Business, Inc: The Business of Staying in Business”, an Advanced Communicator in Toastmasters International, and a member of the National Speakers Association.
