Many of us in facility and event operations rely on
volunteers, student interns and graduate assistants for
both our daily and event staffing needs. During a
number of conversations with colleagues at the 2009
CEFMA Convention in Orlando, many noted they
wished they had a system to help them train new staff
members because of the high turnover inherent with
the above workers. That is when I began to share the
Four S's that I have used for several years. These are
Sense of Urgency, Situational Awareness, Service with a
Smile and Sell, Sell, Sell.

People come to events for any number of
reasons, but at the top of this list resides wanting
to be entertained. They step out of their normal
lives to attend a game or a concert to have fun.
In these economic times, we are fortunate that
many people today are choosing to spend their
hard earned money on a game in our venue.
They demand a level of service that meets their
expectations. Guess what? They should! For the
most part, the performances on the court or
stage are unpredictable. We can control our level of service
that guests receive. Our level of service should, at a minimum,
meet their expectations or people will stop coming.

Over the last few years, many venues have taken
prudent measures to analyze vulnerabilities and
implement ways to limit potential risk. At the
forefront of this movement was the National
Football League, which implemented Best
Practices throughout their venues across the
country in order to help prevent the risk of any
future terrorist attacks. While many non-NFL
venues have since followed suit, for many years
there was an apparent lack of consistency in
training and security among collegiate venues,
specifically in many high-risk areas such as
training; planning; pre-event lockdowns and
sweep procedures; multi-agency collaboration;
accreditation; cohesive venue policies; access
point security; and communication protocols.
Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC)
supports CEFMA because it gives event and
facility professionals a national platform and an
opportunity to share ideas and best practices
that can help in those areas that are so critical.
