The extra mile makes all the difference. I'm glad this young lady was able to take those steps to help you out...even before her morning coffee. :-) And, kudos to you for letting management know. Too often people only want to report the bad things, so I'm sure you made their day by giving them some good news!

It sure makes a difference in peoples life when you let them know they are appreciated for their efforts. Too many people point out the negative things in this world but not the positive. Your post reminds me of the Jim Rohn story about being a one quarter person or a two quarter person. The story is about a shoe shine and it goes something like this. When you are presented with a situation and two amounts come to mind, one quarter or two, ALWAYS go for the two. You won’t believe how just one extra quarter will impact your day! That’s what you did on this day. It would have been easy to just say thanks and be on your way but, going the extra mile made your day extra sweet and it made a difference in someone for someone else. Make it a GREAT day!

What would the world be like if more people would reach out and touch someone, just the way you sent the email after having received such exceptional service. What a great story, Toni.

Those employees who are acknowledged for good service will only strive to maintain that posture and continue to create a happy, healthy and productive environment, right? It didn't feel like I was going out of my way. It kind of put a dance in my step for the rest of the day:) Kimberly,

I'm positively notorious for making sure management knows about not only the bad but the GOOD their employees do! I probably have asked for a manager more often than anyone my age has a right to have! Its fun though, to watch them expecting you to have negative things to say and when you have positive ones it totally changes their body posture and attitude! I think too often people bear the brunt of their "faults" because faults are easy to criticize, but do not hear of the good things they have done! I adore how you went out of your way to contact the dealership!

I truly thank you for sharing it. My story isn't so much about service as it is about just the extra step a particular individual took to connect with me. I had placed a post on my blog yesterday which was pretty powerful and it just so happened to catch the eye of this person. She came onto my blog and made a wonderful comment that really just made me smile and feel appreciated. The next thing she did was that she took the time to go to Facebook and send me a personal message requesting my friendship. This developing leader in the industry did everything right and also did it with complete sincerity. To anyone who is reading this post if you haven't already guessed it the young lady in question was none other than Darlene herself. I just wanted to publicy tell you how much I appreciate the warmth with which you greeted me. Your a class act Darlene and I look forward to developing a great friendship with you.
