The first thing I always did was to find out why the product failed--or if it had failed at all.

If it had failed, I figured out why it failed.

If it failed because of a product defect, I worked to get them a new one. If it failed due to customer error, I educated the customer.

Example: A customer bought a storage shed. She put the shed up without installing the sealing strips. She then filled the shed with antiques. When it rained, all the antiques were ruined and she wanted us to pay for them. The shed leaked because she put it up wrong, and I proved that. (Failure due to customer action--not grounds for remediation.)

Another example: A customer bought some plywood. He made a toybox out of it. The plywood wasn't made right and the glue holding it together failed. We gave him new plywood, plus all the other things he would need to make a new toybox. (Failure due to defective product--remediation taken care of.)

A third example: A customer complained her chain link fence was rusty because there were brown streaks on it. The fence was next to a dirt road, and the brown streaks were the same color as the road. I washed the fence and the "rust" disappeared. (No failure.)
