    Visitors and Walk-ins:

    • If you are with another guest, make eye contact and tell them, “I will be with you momentarily,” “Let me finish this call and I will be right with you”. etc.
    • Greet each guest with a smile.
    • Use a positive and professional greeting.
    • Treat all guests with respect and dignity.

    • Always remain courteous during customer interactions.
    • Listen carefully to the guest’s inquiry.
    • Refer all Non-English Speaking guests and callers that you are unable to assist to the Multilingual/Multicultural Center at 216.404.5159 for support.
    • Tell our guests if you do not know the answer and refer them to someone who does.
