General Communications Practice Turning Negatives into Positives. • Email Example of Negative: “I am so sorry we do not have that product and unfortunately to do the Saturday delivery you requested that will be an additional $150.” • Email example of Positive: “We do not currently have that particular product but would something like this ____ work? And yes we can absolutely accommodate a Saturday delivery. It is an additional charge of $150 as it does put our delivery staff into overtime, but I can also call your venue for you and make sure we can’t work something out.” • Email Example of neither positive nor negative” “Did you want to pay your final deposit?” • Email example of Positive: “Would you like me to process your final payment for you?"

Slack Part of being great partners to each other and operating as a cohesive team is great communication.

• Slack is our way to communicate to each other on the day to day. It is also used for pressing issues / questions that need answered within a couple of hours. • Always use appropriate communication #channel when communicating.

Showroom Our opportunity to really show how creative, organized and innovative we are! This gives clients their first “glimpse” into what an event with them would look like. • Always beautiful and organized. • No messes left out. • Use your imagination for innovative setups. • Resets happen regularly or as defined in current scorecard.

Showroom Organization The Why: Creativity is a core value of Borrow and keeping a beautiful showroom allows us to flex that muscle. It also helps us with social media content and impressing our clients during the appointment process. Lastly- a clean and organized showroom allows us to operate efficiently and safely. • The showroom is to be flipped at least every other week. • There is a FOH checklist that ensures the space is kept cleaned, and stocked. • This checklist can be the responsibility of both the front and back of house. • The three things to be considered when doing any type of space flip or reorganization. • Upcoming delivery orders 2 weeks out. Set these items aside to help aid in the corral process. • Showroom Appointments within the week. • Showroom Reserves within the week. •No Soft Seating against the window walls - should be 4’ off the wall

Beginning of Day Procedure This is a habit we hope to install so we can best be prepared for the day and start the day off by prioritizing the most important things in regards to our clients. • Check Calendar: Appointment “Yes.” • Showroom check, check to see what client is looking for is out. • Showroom set: lights on, heat, check for cleanliness / organization / styled to perfection / grab your phone / turn on music if you desire. • Check emails: • Return phone calls and pressing order questions first. • Answer quotes + inquiries second • Insightly + client questions • Make plan for the day

• Send out your plan via #teamhuddle in Slack
