HOW TO TREAT AN IRRITABLE
CUSTOMER.

The writing of complaint letters
has become almost a profession in It.
self where considerable volumes OF
business are done by letter.
Things will go wrong even In the
best regulated business houses, and
when errors are made they must be
adjusted.
Some customers are naturally
cranky and cross, but the orders they
send are just as acceptable as those
from the most scrupulously polite and
good natured.
One dissatisfied customer may drive
away q score of satisfied ones, and
cause loss of hundreds or thousands
of dollars worth of business. 1t Is
therefore O very important duty in
every business to quiet the kickers
and to understand the art Of writing
pleasant letters to persons who are
diSagreeable.
! A young man employed in the claim
department Of a large express com
pany once went to his superior with
a ferociously irritating letter from a
dyspeptic old shipper. Said he:
II simply can't stomach a vicious
personal attack like that. It makes
me mad clear through, and can't an
swer his letter alphabetically and
politely"
''You are hired expressly to write
pleasant and courteous letters In an
swer to just such insults, and II you
can't perform your duties, we shall
have to make q change"
A pleasant and sympathetic letter
was written, and the next day the
irritable old shipper came in. Said he:
Il know am an abusive old crank,
but It's my nature to kick, and / send
all my business over your lines for
the reason that you are always so
good natured, whatever say to you.
Many people are unreasonable, IN
Just, and offensive, but half the time
they don't mean what they say. To
ignore their complaints makes them
worse than ever. A full, careful, sym
pathetic explanatory letter Is worth
its weight In gold, and every CORE
spondent should learn how to write
such letters. They mean self-control
first OF all. Unless you can make
yourself feel pleasant, you can't write
pleasant. And such letters require
lot Of trying. 1t is hard work to write
them. But any one who will work
hard enough can learn to be pleasant
In letters.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1909-06-24
TELLING THE CUSTOMER JUST
WHAT you WANT HIM TO DO.

While a man has q will of his own
you can make very little impression
on him with your sales talk.
When he begins to listen to you, he
relaxes his will, and you have him
under a sort Of sales hypnotic influ-
ence. He is willing to be under that
influence, and 1t is quite legitimate,
and yet that explains his real state Of
mind better than anything else. He
has relaxed his will In your favor.
In that condition he Is to slight de-
gree Just like child who has been
charmed. He will do anything he is
told to do, but he will not exert his
will to do things for which he re-
ceives no suggestion. When the letter
salesman has worked his spell and got
his customer under the influence Of his
argument, he is very foolish If he
abandons him, as 1t were, or leaves
him to do the final necessary acts on
his own initiative. He won't do them
in many cases.
The skilled book agent, after having
worked his canvass up to the proper
point, clinches his order by putting a
pen into the mans hand and saying,
"Just sign your name right there"
1t is very important, as a principle
Of psychology, to tell the person to
whom you write exactly what you
want him or her to do. If you want
him to send you an order, tell him ex-
actly how he Is to go about sending it.,
and provide him with the order blank,
the return envelope, etc. Some old
fashioned business houses insisted that
oil money be sent by draft, money
order, or registered letter. The modern
business man says, "Pin dollar bill to
this letter and send at my risk in the
inclosed return envelope" The danger
Of losing a dollar bill in the mail is as
nothing to the danger Of losing the
order through the chance that the pos
sible customer will forget about It
while going to the post office to get the
money order or register the letter.
The influence of letter is very small
The thing to be done therefore should
be very slight. The whole operation
Of making a decision should be simpli-
fed to the extreme point, and the ac-
tual command should be given.
The inexperienced letter writer
nearly always leaves the matter in the
air, on the supposition that If man
wants to give you an order he will GER
tainly find q way Of sending It; but
the slightly higher percentage Of re-
suits when the way is made easy may
make the difference between profit and
loss.
