| One day, a young man goes to apply for a sales job at a major
department store. He tells the sales manager that he doesn't really have
any experience, but he is willing to try his hardest to learn.
The manager likes his attitude and decides to give the guy a chance. At
the close of business the next day, the sales manager
decides to stop in to see how the kid is doing on his first day.
He asks, "How many sales did you have today?"
The salesman answers, "One."
"How come only one," asks the manager. "Most of my salesman
have 20-30 per day! How much was the one sale you made?"
The salesman answers, "$333,344.00" "WHAT!?! What did you sell?"
"Well, a guy wanted a small fish hook, so I sold him a medium
fish hook, then I sold him a large fish hook. Then he needed a rod, so I
sold him a light action rod, then upgraded to a medium action rod, and
then changed it to a fully balanced combo. Then I told him he was
going to need a boat, so I took him to the boating department and sold
him a 14-foot motor boat, then upgraded him to a 20-foot cabin cruiser.
Then I told him that his Volkswagen wouldn't be able to tow the boat,
so I took him to the car department and sold him a sport utility vehicle."
A guy came in for a fish hook and you managed to sell him all of that?
asked the manager.
"No, he came in for a box of tampons for his wife, and I said
'Hey, your weekend is shot anyway, why not do some fishing?' |
