The following page will provide a brief recap of how the inquiry transpired. As part of the feedback, we will provide insight as to
how the manager sells the brand. For the Westin Brand, the Core Values are 1) Personal, 2) Instinctive, and 3) Renewal.
The manager should not be saying this verbatim to the customer but rather should convey the brand value using the below key
words in the process. For example, the manager should NOT say, “At the Westin we provide a personal touch that is
instinctive to your needs.” This is just saying the 3 Core Values in a row. However, they can say something like, “Here at the
Westin we provide an intimate environment that makes your guests’ stay special.” The Westin language assumes an intimacy
with the audience. Ideas are expressed in brief phrases, richly endowed with meaning. Every word is carefully chosen to reflect
its own deep significance. The language communicates sophisticated concepts using very few words.
