We say hello to the New Year with feedback from the new Nobu Hotel Los Cabos in Mexico, including some kind words from that property’s General Manager. To all of you, congratulations and best wishes for a successful 2020!

“First of all, congratulations for the great job you have done!

“I really thank you for coming to train our butler team and I am sure this is the beginning of a long collaboration and many more trainings to come.

“A special mention to your ability to create such dynamic and professional trainings.

“I rest at ease knowing that our team made a great step forward and have learned a significant chapter in their professional lives as butlers.” Mr. Felix Schlokat, General Manager, Nobu Hotel Los Cabos

“I thoroughly enjoyed the whole training. The attention and recognition to detail that Mr. Vargas points out when demonstrating/teaching each task is remarkable. He is an expert in everything he shows you and has an exceptional answer to al your questions and doubts. Shoe shining, packing and unpacking were extremely helpful as well as all the other information Mr. Vargas’ course/certification has to offer. Excellent course! Spectacular training overall. Mr. Vargas is an amazing mentor.” C.P., Concierge.

“I loved the whole training! I feel better trained, much more confident and ready to provide luxury service. The way the instructor explained the subjects was charming and easy to understand.” M.C., Butler.

“I loved the training in general and how Amer personalizes the training in particular. I loved that I could reinforce basic concepts I had in my mind but I wasn’t completely confident about.” C.de A., Butler.

“I found every little detail the instructor showed us interesting, as well as the way he caught our attention and developed the course. (I also liked) the fine tuning of particular services we believed we were already performing well; however I felt it was a complete learning experience. What really fascinated me was the unpacking procedure and how to tie bow ties.”

“10/10. It was truly fascinating! =) Many Thanks.” 

“The trainer was unbelievable. The curriculum, although short, was excellent.”

“I liked everything!!! It was absolutely breathtaking. I wish I could have more time to learn.”

“It’s hard to choose something I liked in particular, as it was all excellent and interesting, and the way of conveying the information was really engaging.”

“I particularly liked the fact that as the trainer was sharing his knowledge, he made the team feel confident to ask anything, with the certainty we would always get a nice appropriate answer. He is really humble.”

“(I liked) the curriculum and the fact that the instructor’s speech was easy to understand, as well as all the knowledge about the main aspects of the butler’s duties. The training was so interesting that time went very fast. I give it a 9/10 because it was too short and the subjects covered were far too interesting.”

The Institute is dedicated to raising service standards by broadly disseminating the mindset and superior service expertise of that time-honored, quintessential service provider, the British Butler, updated with modern people skills, and adapted to the needs of modern employers and guests in staffed homes, luxury hotels, resorts, spas, retirement communities, jets, yachts & cruise ships around the world.

This month we include a few words from the butlers that attended the refresher training at the beautiful Sofitel Legend Santa Clara in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, as well as from the management team and butlers at The Ungasan Clifftop Resort in Bali, Indonesia, who attended Mr. Budi Prihardjanto’s training there recently.

“(This is what I liked the most of the training):

• The precise knowledge and the willingness to share it
• The trainer’s positive attitude and enthusiasm
• His professionalism

The waiting and the effort devoted to getting this refresher training was well worth it to learn new things with a great instructor. On a scale from 1-10: 100!”

“It was a very comprehensive training. Even though it is clearly focused for butlers, it also provides support and complements many service areas.”

“Amer is an excellent person and a splendid instructor. He has lots of experience and knows how to divulge it. It’s a privilege to have attended his training.”

“(I really liked) the clear and easy-to-understand explanations of the instructor, the resources used and the examples he provides to support the understanding to the audience, as well as his vast experience and his mastering of the subjects he delivers.”

“I’d like to thank Mr. Vargas for all the teachings and the dedication given to this training. There isn’t much that could actually be improved in an excellent training such as this. My deepest gratitude for lighting the flame of motivation in our new butlers: I’m completely sure this tutoring will remain in them for the rest of their lives. On a scale from 1 to 10, 15!”

I have had the pleasure of working with Budi at two properties now and can attest to the powerful motivating effect of his training. The morale and focus of our entire team at The Ungasan has immediately and noticeably improved… and we are already planning his return visit.” GP, General Manager

“From my experience in attending several trainings, Budi is the best. He talks about the modern butler mindset, communication skills, and leadership. He is knowledgable, expert, inspiring, and speaks from his experience of success. I highly recommend him as the best of modern butler trainers and motivators. Thank you!” MS, Butler Supervisor, The Ungasan

Training that lasts…

[Based on training received in 2011]: “I can’t really forget the best training I ever had in my life and I am really proud to be a student of yours. We are still following the same SOP’s from you. I would say you are the main person who played a very important role to make Cheval Blanc successful since from the pre-opening.” N

Extracts from butlers at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo

“Thanks to Amer, the training was both very dynamic and instructive. The only bad thing was the training was very short!” DLG

“The course was excellent. It changed my work performance for the very best and the instructor was well prepared and knowledgeable: he couldn’t be any better. He not only taught in a very clear and pleasant way, but he also listened to the students and commented on our judgments.” JMA

“All the examples presented were very clear. The instructor’s passion and love for what he does flowed over us.” YCA

And these from students in The Edge in Bali, Indonesia:

“Now I understand and know how to be a professional butler. Budi is great coach, dedicated, and has a sense of leadership. He is friendly and his jokes made the training not boring.” KAS

“I learned that you could even apply the butler mindset in your daily life, and bring happiness to people around you. I also learned to read people’s character, understand the situation and make them feel comfortable. Budi is smart, full of experiences; a professional trainer, easy to understand.” WW

“It really helped me to open and broaden my mindset both as a butler and as an individual in my daily life. I have to put more attention on details, be well groomed, (and) read a guest’s character in order to have better interaction with guests, friends, and family. The trainer is an inspiring person.” GNHDP 

“I really liked the “Like-Like Drill”, where I learned how to build a positive first impression toward any person. It teaches me always to think positive and feel positive in any situation. I will certainly apply it in my daily job and life. Budi motivated me a lot so that I can perform well in my work as butler.” NPNPJ 

“It was about the butler mindset, which is applicable not only in my job but also could be applied in daily life. The training covered the whole subject of butler duties which taught me and the team to have more confidence to tackle any problem which may arise.

“I have more confidence and a positive mind set: Budi teaches us very clearly, step by step. He is friendly, funny and smart.” IWJ

“What I learned most is that the butler mindset could be applied in daily life.

The trainer has a lot of experiences to share and I would love to have a longer conversation with him to learn more.” PRN

“The training really helps to improve the quality of how to service the guest and also my daily life. With so many (personal) experiences from the trainer, we feel we have been guided on how to solve the problems in our daily work in the modern butler’s style.

“What I liked from the training is that whatever subject was being shared and taught was logical and made sense. It improved my mindset both on the job and in my daily life. The trainer is the best.” IWA
