ABOUT SAVANHU ADVISORY

Experience taught me that customer service is a strategy, not a department.

Hi, I’m Brenda Savanhu. I help businesses create customer experiences that build trust, strengthen loyalty, and support sustainable growth.

I’m here to partner with you in curating your customer journey, so you can confidently invite others to experience your vision exactly the way you dreamt it.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

I've spent my career paying attention to what makes customers stay.

Remember the dream vision for your business? It wasn’t just to provide a product or service but to leave a lasting impression on your customers by taking them through a journey. The goal was to invite customers into your vision, so they could experience your dream. But the everyday responsibilities of being a business owner got in the way of implementing your curated customer experience. You know something has to change, but you don’t have the bandwidth to diagnose and troubleshoot the challenges getting in the way of your customer experience.

I work with businesses like yours. The kind of business whose pride and joy are in the product they deliver, but bad feedback is starting to affect revenue. I help you curate the type of customer experience that is memorable, worthy of referrals and ultimately grows revenue.

I know what it’s like to be part of a team that failed at service delivery as well as being the recipient of poor service. On the other hand, I have successfully led teams in removing the obstacles that led to poor service, ultimately rebounding to provide memorable and 5-star worthy guest experiences. I have also been won over by businesses who initially fumbled their first interaction with me, then successfully recovered the bad encounter, and I decided to keep doing business with them.

Early Career

I studied Hospitality Management and International Business at Lakeland University in Plymouth, WI. During my time there, I was fortunate to intern with Kohler Destination Brands, at Blackwolf Run Restaurant, The American Club, Whistling Straits and The Horse & Plow. After graduation, I started my full-time career with Hyatt Hotels.

Leadership Roles

The roles I've led in include: 

Restaurant Manager, Banquet Manager, Director of Food & Beverage, Director of Operations and Director of Development.

Consulting & Strategy

My strategy is to get to the root of what is causing customer friction, and finding solutions that work for both the business and the customer. 

Each happy customer can result in a 140% spend, and word of mouth referrals which cost the business nothing in marketing. 

Today

My passion for curating customer experience journeys has followed me all of my life. My desire is to come alongside small business owners, and help bring their visions to life by curating their customer experience journeys. 

The best customer experiences aren't created by scripts. They happen when people understand what great service looks like and feel equipped to deliver it.
