WINNING CUSTOMERS OVER
V ERNE F. RYLAND lives at Independence, Mo. He is
wbat is called a second man in one of the branch stores of
a paint and varnish company. ^ - |[
One' day a woman charged into tfie store like the famous ’
bull at the famous red flag. She said that, in her absence, the •
paperhanger had hung some paper that she had >
purchased at the store, and one of the patterns ;
was not what she ordered. She wanted to know
what the store was going to do about it.
Now, some papers do look different from
sample book to wall, but while she Was talk-

ihg furiously, Mr. Ryland checked her orig
inal order and invoice.,. and found that she
had ordered exactly what she received. She
was wrong, but Mr. Ryland couldn't tell
.her so. Especially as wrought up as the
. good lady was. He let her "talk herself
\ out" .. . which took quite a while . .. then said: ...
“The fault is ours. Here is the sample book. Select any
paper you wish and well give it to you free of charge."
The woman looked at him in amazement. And her tone
changed completely. She said:
f.
• "I’ll pay any difference gladly."
She selected the paper, a more expensive one, and although
> Mr. Ryland told her that it would cost her nothing, she insisted .
on paying the difference.
1 A few days later she came back and said, "The paper is
lovely. All my friends have been in to admire it, and I
1 have told them how nice you were."
A week later she returned and selected some linoleum
which came to $20.
Two or three weeks later, she came into the store and
asked for Mr. Ryland, and told him that she wished to look
at paint samples. She did, and bought some $30 worth
before she left.
Mr. Ryland said, "I could hardly believe she was the red-
faced woman I had once been confronted with." J
How had Mr. Ryland brought this changed conditioni! ‘
Well, he had done three things: .
1. He had let her talk herself out. ~ vrar ' J * s- ““ r ' T

3. He had offered to do what she wished and to give hei;i

She changed immediately from a violent critic into a fine^
good friend of the store. ^ j/fc it:j
