To become a concierge, you need to have a degree or a diploma in either hotel management or tourism and travel. As a concierge, you will assist people in business and residential locales. These professionals typically work in hotels to help guests have the best stay possible. They offer recommendations on restaurants and local entertainment, make reservations, acquire tickets for various attractions, schedule tours and help coordinate transportation. A concierge also provides general information to guests, such as dry cleaning services. Some may even be involved in helping plan special events, like a proposal or wedding. These professionals must have excellent customer service skills as they aim to make guests feel comfortable. Concierges are part of the service occupations, and customer service skills such as active listening, organisation, and rapport building are critical to success. In addition, you'll do better if you have the ability to negotiate and partner with others in order to provide your guests with the best deals. Finally, since making suggestions is a major part of the service you'll provide, you'll need to know about the city you work in and its best attractions, shows, parks, and restaurants. Like many other service-related jobs, a wide range of income opportunity is available to concierges. If you work at a 4-star hotel, you may make more than if you work at a 2-star hotel, for example. Service workers often get a base pay or salary, but they also receive a gratuity from the people they serve based on how well or how poorly they did their job. The average starting salary is 2,40,699 per year.
