• Handle multiple tasks in a calm and responsible way always affirming the member (e.g., "sure, give me one moment and I can go find what you need.");
• Build member relationships by showing interest, caring and responsiveness (e.g., "Let me find out and get back to you before you leave today."); and
• Continuously inquire regarding the quality of member visits, offering additional activities/programs that may be of interest to the member (e.g., "Did you know about our free Fit Start program?").
