Sample from Chapter 4 — The Tone Test (A Restaurant Example)

Read the three responses below. A customer just called your restaurant asking: "Do you have a table for 4 tonight at 7?" Which response feels right for your restaurant?

Response A — Sofia M. (Italian, warm, food-passionate):

"Tonight at 7! Let me check — we'll find you something wonderful. Just for 4? Beautiful. Give me one moment..."

Response B — Naoki T. (Japanese, polite, efficient for upscale dining):

"Good evening. A table for four at 7 PM tonight — I'll check our reservation book right now. May I have a name to hold this for, please?"

Response C — Daniela R. (Brazilian, energetic for casual dining):

"Hey, party of 4 at 7? Let me check what we've got — give me one sec. You've eaten with us before, or first time?"

Notice that all three are professional. All three are efficient. But each one tells a different story about what kind of restaurant the caller is about to dine at. The wrong personality isn't unprofessional — it's mismatched. Pick the response that matches the experience you want every caller to anticipate before they even arrive.
