Check this out... Oscar saw a Tweet from me complaining that a business was located incorrectly by the Hertz Neverlost GPS System I was using in a car I rented at Washington Dulles International Airport. This response from Oscar Loera is simply amazing. Obviously he monitors the social web for mentions of his company and their products. The fact is that he snapped into action after seeing my post from
http://twitter.com/RalphPaglia and has even gone so far as to refund my cost of using the Neverlost GPS guidance System in the Hertz Rental car I was using at the time.
Oscar included his direct phone, email and personal cell phone in his communications with me. He also posted a public apology on Twitter and explained what his company was doing to correct the problem that initiated my tweet.
Oscar's highly effective and proactive response process has increased my loyalty and intent to continue using Hertz for my rental vehicle needs.
This is also a good example of why Hertz continues to out-perform other companies in their business segment for their shareholders.
To Oscar:
Thank you for being such an outstanding example of how a business can use Social Media for Reputation Management and to better achieve Marketing Communication objectives.
