"Our attendees loved Bob and his message! One attendee said it best: 'Totally engaging - loved his entire presentation!' Additionally, he is incredibly easy to work with, timely and very professional – a meeting planner's dream! I would highly recommend Bob to not only other ASBOs across the country, but any organization that is looking for an engaging and thought-provoking keynote speaker."

Sr. Professional Development Coordinator

"Our participants not only found value in the perspective that he provided during a stand-alone breakout session, they raved about the message he provided during his keynote presentation. The Black Tie Experience is what each of us seeks every day in our personal and professional relationships. Bob provided valuable guidance on how we can all do better by being better! From the planning side of things, he is also great and not demanding – something we all seek in keynote presenters." President & CEO

"Bob's keynote made such an impression on me that when we needed a speaker for another one of our conferences, I did not hesitate to contact him. He was able to craft his keynote to fit multiple markets, and we have now used him for multiple conferences. I highly recommend Bob as a speaker and presenter to any group. He has definitely left a lasting impression on our company and our delegates."

Operations Manager

"Divine Events worked with Bob for our Standards in Excellence training program. Our entire team participated in the training and it was a huge success. Bob’s focus on “hospitality” and service excellence has made a huge difference in our team and the way they interact with our customers as well as each other. We have developed our Company Core Values and it has been a great turn of events for all of our team. Can’t wait to bring Bob back again for additional training."

ABOUT BOB PACANOVSKY

An entrepreneur for 25 years, primarily in the hospitality industry, Bob Pacanovsky and his team created over 7,000 meetings, events, receptions and had one opportunity to create both a “wow experience” and a lasting impression on his clients and guests.
Now as a keynote speaker and strategic trainer, he uses his two decades of working “in the trenches” to teach companies how to focus on Service Excellence and Hospitality to cultivate more loyal and raving clients and employees (aka Brand Ambassadors). This in in turn improves revenue, productivity, retention, and engagement for any organization, as well as its bottom line. When this happens, you create Black Tie Experiences that become memorable and habit-forming.

Bob has been in your shoes as an event and meeting planner, and he knows how much work goes into planning and executing meetings, conferences and events. Bob believes that hiring a speaker should be an easy process and he carries the same philosophy with him as we did when we owned his hospitality company- one of his job’s is to make you, the meeting planner, look good.

A meeting planner that Bob worked with said, “Our attendees loved Bob and his message! He’s totally engaging, and we loved his entire presentation!” Additionally, he is incredibly easy to work with, timely and very professional – a meeting planner’s dream.”

Bob puts his focus on YOU, his customers, and creates your customized presentation. It has your language, your trends, your challenges, etc. He puts himself in your shoes and makes sure that he delivers what you need, not what he wants to speak about.

Bob has worked with organizations in industries like travel/tourism, healthcare, hospitality, association management, attractions, banking, accounting, and more. He has also achieved Professional Membership in the National Speakers Association and is a Past-President of his chapter.

The “Big 4” to creating more storytellers for your organization!

If given the choice, would you rather be considered “the best”, or the “favorite” when it comes to companies in your city, region, or state? My choice would be “favorite” and I will tell you why in this seminar. What steps are you taking to have your customers and employees think of your organization as “their favorite”? It starts with implementing “The Big 4” to deliver that Black Tie (or first-class) Customer Service Experience. Bob will share the principles he learned from being an entrepreneur for over twenty-five years on providing hospitality and service excellence in your organization.

The Five Essential Laws of Hospitality (to build Loyalty, Retention, and Revenue)

How often does your brand get talked about? When people talk about your brand they become storytellers for it. Do they become storytellers because of the customer service you provide? Maybe. But you need more. You need the 5 Essential Laws of Hospitality for your organization. Providing customer service is necessary as it brings people to your business. Hospitality, however, is essential, as it brings your customers back, increasing your loyalty, retention, and revenue.

Discover the Missing Link: 25 Ways to Delight Clients with Black Tie Hospitality

What do a book, a spinning wheel and 25 ways to delight customers with Hospitality have in common? They are all part of a NEW seminar that promises to be informative, interactive, and entertaining and it’s all based on Bob’s new (and first) book-Discover the Missing Link- 25 Ways to Delight Customers with Black Tie Hospitality. Attendees will leave with the Missing Link and how to elevate the customer experience through principles of Hospitality. As a bonus, Bob can include a signed copy of his book for everyone in attendance.

Would YOU do business with YOU? (Becoming your customer- what do you see?)

When was the last time you were a customer in your business? And have your employees ever been that customer too? If not, how do they know what your customers see, hear, touch, and most importantly feel about your organization and the services you provide? If there ever was a time to think and act like your customer, it is now, as your customers and prospects are looking at every part of your business. That’s why your organization’s “Impact Points” may now be one of the most important elements in creating this first-class (or Black Tie) experience.

Customer Service 101…is not always 101 today!

Coming out of the pandemic I had more than one colleague tell me, “Bob, it seems like people have forgotten the basics of Customer Service.” In this seminar, I’ll concentrate on four concepts of what I call part of “Customer Service 101” that I believe we need to review and get back to the basics. Why four? To keep the seminar focused and simple. Like…

  • Finding the right people
  • Ways to keep the right people
  • Training and onboarding practices
  • Soft skills training on topics like communication, listening, taking ownership, etc.

From Fear to Fortitude- The steps needed to move forward

What if you were given the opportunity to do the one thing that put the most fear in you? Would you do it?  For most of us, the answer would probably be not just “no”, but “heck no!” We all have fears, some are larger for us than others.  How we manage these fears is critical for our physical and mental well-being. I am living proof of it.  I took probably my biggest fear and something that I would have never thought I would be able to do and am making a living with it. Shifting your mindset from Fear to Fortitude is a presentation that I was not going to give, ever. In my mind, it was easier for me to hide my fear of myself, as well as others. But then I lost a bet with someone very important in my life, and I needed (and wanted) to honor that bet.
