How To Get More, Larger Tips

Importance and Urgency: Receiving more, larger tips is always important financially, as long as the things that enable you to receive more, larger tips do not jeopardize your values, the law, or your well-being and happiness. It is urgent that you get paid as much more as you can, as soon as you can, even if it is just a small increase in tips and just a little sooner.

General Strategy: Stay focused on your value to your customer, but also observe the performance of others who are earning more or larger tips than you are, and try to learn how they are more valuable to their customers.  Try to learn as much as you can from your customers about what they need from you to pay you more, larger tips. Improve yourself in whatever ways are necessary for you to provide your customers more of what they need from you.

Usually quality of service and timeliness of service are important to customers of services for which tipping is customary.

Focus On Your Value: Your performance value is determined by the quality, quantity and type of your work. You can improve the quality of your work by attending to the comfort, convenience, time, privacy and security of your customers more thoroughly and more reliably. You can improve the quantity of your work by eliminating all wasted time during the time you are working, and eliminating any absent time. You can add to the types of work that you do by learning new skills. Tipping customers are more likely to ask and tip for services that require new skills after you master quality and quantity with your existing skills. All of these improvements make your performance value higher.

Your supply and demand value is determined by whether there are more or fewer people available than needed to do the quality, quantity and type of work you do. It may seem like you cannot control the supply of - and demand for - people who do the quality, quantity and type of work that you do. But you do have a lot of control of this. Everything you do to improve your quality and quantity, and add new skills, puts you ahead of more people.  If you do not constantly improve in these areas, you are inviting others to catch up to you and even pass you. When you make improvements yourself, you catch up to others and pass them up. Making these improvements more quickly than others makes your supply and demand value higher.

It is best to increase both your performance value and your supply and demand value. You will be more likely to receive more, larger tips.

Observe Successful Others: If you know of others who are very successful at earning more, larger tips, try to observe the things that they do and understand how those things add satisfaction for the customers.

Turn Your Customer Into Your Partner: Tell your customers that you want to provide them with the best service possible, and ask them what is particularly important to them. Customers may or may not make special requests, but try to recognize what things most customers want.

Earn Your Larger Tips: Treat the requests you receive from your customers as indicators of the types of things all of your customers want, and improve your performance in providing those things even if they are not asked for.  Also keep in mind that your tips are partially dependent on the performance of others who support the service you provide to your customers. For example, if you are a server at a restaurant, the performance of the kitchen staff affects your tips. You need to take responsibility for influencing their performance so that it supports the service your customers need. You can do this by clearly communicating expectations and performance feedback, and by reporting superior or inferior performance to management.

More Tips or No More Tips: Congratulations! If you are receiving more, larger tips, you can continue this process. The more you refine your performance and the value of your service to your customers, the more, larger tips you should earn.
