Bring Out Your Inner Alfred Pennyworth!

We all know that even though Master Bruce battles the stock market by day and crime filled streets of Gotham by night, there is one figure without whom none would have been possible. And that is, our beloved Alfred. Similarly, a being a Chauffeur is not a simple job of opening doors or saying goodnight. The ideal chauffer is a real life Alfred; efficient, polished and absolutely dependable. So let’s look at some qualities we should develop to be the best in business.

Appearance

The obvious first in any list, this is a must! To stand out, you must be impeccably dressed, looking constantly fresh at any time of the day with a ready to business attitude. Of course being well dressed is a matter of subjectivity but if nothing else, the standard white shirt, black suit and tie should be fine anywhere. Most engaged in the chauffeur hire in Sydney industry tend to provide a distinct uniform and identification methods such as a clearly visible card or tag on person. This should impress and make first time customers comfortable and approachable.

Hygiene

Another quality which goes hand in hand with appearance, good hygiene will definitely make you a pleasant companion. Being clean shaven will enhance boost your image. Keep mints and hand sanitizer ready at hand but be careful not to use either in the presence of your client. And do go easy on the aftershave! This job requires a lot of subtle elegance.

Reading up!

Though one may not realize, being a top notch chauffeur requires quite a bit of homework. For starters, it is preferable to read daily and be up to date on current affairs since that will go far to impress anyone and make you comfortable to engage in small talk. Furthermore, learning a language or two will separate you from the rest of the pack since that will make you accessible to clients from multiple nationalities which is a common problem any service provider of airport transfers will face. Anyone will appreciate and feel comfortable with speaking in their native tongue. So clients are likely to be relaxed around you, thus making your service better.

Manners and confidence.

Last but certainly not the least, you should be mindful of your words and actions. Be polite as a general policy but also look out for the client’s respective cultural sensitivities. You don’t want to offend his or her beliefs or traditions even unintentionally! It is preferable if you avoid smoking during the job since cigarettes tend to leave a distinct smell and some clients may feel uncomfortable. All in all, it is an exciting profession requiring constant innovation and improvement. So bring out the best in yourself and everyone around!
