"Everybody living in Jerusalem knows they have done an outstanding miracle, and we cannot deny it.

17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn these men to speak no longer to anyone in this name." 18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God.

STARBUCKS

The Starbucks Experience5 Principles for Turning Ordinary into Extraordinary

AUTHOR: Joseph A. Michelli, Ph.D.PUBLISHER: McGraw-Hill Publishing CompanyDATE OF PUBLICATION: 2007NUMBER OF PAGES: 181 pages

The Starbucks Experience

Among other things, the company has been recognized as one of the world’s most admired companies by Fortune magazine. And this has been reflected in the value placed in the company by its shareholders: since 1992, its stock has risen by an astounding 5,000 percent.

The Starbucks Experience

The genius of the company’s success lies in its proven ability to create personalized customer experiences, secure customer loyalty, stimulate business growth, generate profits, and energize employees – all at the same time.

The Starbucks Experience

Author Dr Joseph Michelli gained access to Starbucks personnel and resources and discovered that the company’s success is driven by those who work there – the “partners” – and the special experience they create for each and every customer.

The Starbucks Experience

Principle 1: MAKE IT YOUR OWN Principle 2: EVERYTHING MATTERS Principle 3: SURPRISE AND DELIGHT

Principle 4: EMBRACE RESISTANCE Principle 5: LEAVE YOUR MARK

FIVE WAYS OF MAKING IT YOUR OWN:

PRINCIPLE 1: MAKE IT YOUR OWN

1: BE WELCOMING“Being welcoming”, at its essence, is defined as “offering everyone a sense of belonging”. Partners should do all they can to create a place where people feel that they are a priority and where their day can be brightened, at least for a moment.

FIVE WAYS OF MAKING IT YOUR OWN:

PRINCIPLE 1: MAKE IT YOUR OWN

1. BE WELCOMINGWelcoming people by name and remembering them from visit to visit is a small thing, but it counts very much. People fear just being another member of the herd; they want to have their uniqueness recognized.

FIVE WAYS OF MAKING IT YOUR OWN:

PRINCIPLE 1: MAKE IT YOUR OWN

2. BE GENUINE• Connect. • Discover.• Respond.

FIVE WAYS OF MAKING IT YOUR OWN:

PRINCIPLE 1: MAKE IT YOUR OWN

3. BE CONSIDERATE• Thoughtfulness should become a part of

a company’s culture. Leaders should place a priority on consideration and encourage their staff to put their own twist on the concept.

FIVE WAYS OF MAKING IT YOUR OWN:

PRINCIPLE 1: MAKE IT YOUR OWN

4. BE KNOWLEDGEABLE• Partners are encouraged to enhance their

expertise in coffee and customer service. Value is always added to partners’ efforts when they gain work-related knowledge.

FIVE WAYS OF MAKING IT YOUR OWN:

PRINCIPLE 1: MAKE IT YOUR OWN

5. BE INVOLVED• This means nothing less than active

participation in the store, in the company, and in the community – a “yes, I will” attitude where breakthrough products and service are created. There must be a move away from a “bare minimum is OK” mentality.

All business is detail. When details are overlooked or missed, even the most patient customers can be frustrated and costly errors can occur. What’s more, only a handful of unhappy customers bring their complaints to management – the rest simply bring their dollars elsewhere, and share their grievances with family members, friends, and acquaintances. (People are more likely to talk about unpleasant experiences than pleasant ones.)

PRINCIPLE 2: EVERYTHING MATTERS

Delight is the result of an unwavering commitment to creating a comfortable and trusted relationship. If extra time and energy has been invested in delighting others and not simply satisfying them, you will be rewarded with nothing less than extraordinary results.

PRINCIPLE 3: SURPRISE AND DELIGHT

It was once noted that a person only profits from praise when he values criticism, and Starbucks management has taken this to heart. Valuing criticism is a major part of the Starbucks puzzle. Embracing resistance involves a complex set of skills that can enable businesses and individuals to create business and relationship opportunities when confronted with irritation, skepticism, and/or wariness.

PRINCIPLE 4: EMBRACE RESISTANCE

The value of a business’s brand is 100 percent linked to the trust people place in the company to do what it says it will do. Corporate social responsibility shouldn’t be seen as a passing fad or fancy. Instead, it should be valued as the way global business really gets done.

PRINCIPLE 5: LEAVE YOUR MARK

HAVE YOU EXPERIENCE

D GOD’S LOVE?

WHAT IS YOUR HEART

FULL OF?

We must experience God’s love first before

we could share it to others.

Once you experience God’s love, you can’t help

but share it.

CONCLUSION

Have you experienced God’s love? How can you share it to others?
