"Hospitality is in the Selling" · 60-second brief
The reframe
- "Selling isn't pushing. It's guiding."
- "Speak like a curator, not an order taker."
- "People don't want unlimited choice. They want clarity."
- "Indecision kills the experience."
On the floor tonight
- "What are you thinking?" → "Here's what I'd do…"
- Every table: 2–3 confident recommendations.
- If they leave without your guidance, you under-delivered.

Finish Cocktail Builds tonight to pass Tasha on the learning board.
From Preston's brief: drilling builds turns "what'd you like?" into "here's what I'd do." That's curator confidence, not a sales script.
