I
would like to say I've been on Twitter for
about a year now, trying to help local residents of Beaverton
with housing
advice, book reviews for kids by kids,
and reviews of local parks and hot
spots. But never did
I think me helping others would lead to meeting someone that was there
just to
offer their help to me without expecting anything in return.
Well, on Saturday
morning, while out in about in Beaverton watching our
best
friends daughter be a cheerleader in the rain, I decided
to do a little
video
on pee wee football and posted it on Twitter. (Here was the video, that
started
it all.)
Now, there really isn't
anything special about the video, but the one
comment I
got on it was from Bill
Stallard who
just happened to
work for Beaverton Honda.Now, this was nothing special,
but what
happened in
the next 24 hours was. You see two hours after that video was shot, I
was in a
car accident. (You
can read about that here) At the time of the accident, I
immediately
started using Twitter to post pictures and was updating everyone to how
we were
doing.
Bill immediately
contacted me via Twitter to make sure everyone was OK.He read
that my Jeep was a total loss and that I was going to be on the lookout
for a
new one. Bill, sent me a direct message telling me if the insurance
company
didn't have me a vehicle quickly that he could get me one off his lot
with no
obligation. It turns out we didn't need to do that, but the gesture was
greatly
appreciated!
I had to meet this guy
and thank him for his offer and when I arrived
at
Beaverton Honda, what I got when I got there was amazing.I got
service!! You
see, Bill isn't a salesman for Beaverton Honda, he is one of their
directors.
Now, he did have one Jeep on his lot that may or may not fit my needs
depending
on how much I get from the insurance company, but he really didn't try
to sell
me on it. Instead he gave me a list of at least 30 used Jeeps that met
my
criteria that posted on Twitter and not a one was on his lot! But, he
said here
is all the Jeeps in Portland metro area and if you find anything you
like call
me and I will pull you a Carfax report on the car at no cost to you.
WOW! I may not even be a
customer of this guy and here he is offering
his
services of his company for a car that he doesn't service.I have to
say that
if I ever meet anyone looking for a car in the Beaverton area, I'm
sending them
to Beaverton Honda, because what Bill did for his company is to show
they care
more about people than they do about a sale!
If you are looking for a
new or used car in Beaverton, give Bill a call
at
(503)572-7860 or email him at bstallard@beavertonhonda.com.
I know he will treat you and your family right and get you the best
deal even
if it isn't on his lot because he understands what customer service is
really
about.

Unbelievable! These are the kinds of people who will be a success at whatever they set their minds to. Service before sales. We could all learn a lesson from Bill.
It is amazing the people you can meet on Twitter. I have found that they are high-caliber professionals and it's been amazing to get to know these individuals. I love your story, this guy really "gets" customer service and social media. I'd buy a car from him :)
Hi Todd! That is what we call above and beyond...and then a whole bunch more! Bill will get his return and then some for his genuine caring. Just gotta ask...what did you end up buying, or are you still waiting for the insurance company?
Wow that is such an amazing story- the power of Twitter - and how to run a great business! Now I have to go and read and find out what happened at your accident :-(

Now that is a 21st Century story! We never know who is "following" us...they are, though, and when needed, they will surface. Interesting!

Hi Todd!
That is what we call above and beyond...and then a whole bunch more! Bill will get his return and then some for his genuine caring. Just gotta ask...what did you end up buying, or are you still waiting for the insurance company?
Todd - WOW, Bill sounds like an amazing guy and could probably teach people a thing or two when it comes to excellent service.
Todd - This is just another example of Twitters power! :-) btw, I am glad you are okay!
Wow that is such an amazing story- the power of Twitter - and how to run a great business! Now I have to go and read and find out what happened at your accident :-(
Great service, great story. Glad you are all okay, and hope the insurance company doesn't drag their feet!
Todd --- thanks for sharing that great story about Bill and also about Twitter.
Mama Liz
Todd - Great example of the how to use Twitter - but Twitter will never replace good old fashioned service. Glad to hear that everyone is okay.
