Most sports teams don't have a customer service problem — they have a consistency problem. In this tactical episode, Jeremy Neisser walks through exactly how to build a simple "Always Do / Never Do" list that your entire organization can follow to create a consistent, frictionless fan experience. You'll get starter ideas for both lists, plus a clear plan to put the framework into action across every department — from ticket sales to concessions to parking. KEY TOPICS COVERED - Why inconsistency across departments is quietly costing you ticket sales and slowing fan base growth - The real problem most teams face: not bad service, but inconsistent service across staff and departments - Why your framework should stay simple — 5 to 7 always items and 5 to 7 never items, no more - How same-day response time builds trust and keeps momentum alive with interested fans - Why making it easier for fans to buy from you directly increases conversion on tickets, groups, and packages - How giving a clear next step in every fan interaction moves people closer to a purchase - Why you should always assume fan confusion is your organization's fault — and how to fix it - The power of "Know Before You Go" emails to set up a smoother game-day experience before fans arrive - The Cheesecake Factory problem: how too many options kills decisions and slows sales - Why first-time buyers, group leaders, and season ticket holders each need a different experience - How to stop passing fans around between departments and own the problem instead - How to embed your Always / Never list into staff meetings, training, name tags, concession stands, and daily operations
