A real Salesman !
A young guy from Wisconsin moves to
Florida and goes to a big
everything-under- one-roof department
store looking for a job.
The Manager says, 'Do you have any sales
experience?'
The kid says 'Yeah. I was a salesman
back in Wisconsin '
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave
him the job.
'You start tomorrow. I'll come down
after we close and see how you did.'
His first day on the job was rough, but
he got through it.
After the store was locked up, the boss
came down.
How many customers bought something from
you today?'
The kid says, 'One.'
The boss says, 'Just one? Our sales
people average 20 to 30 customers a
day. How much was the sale for?'
The kid says, '$101,237.65. '
His boss says, '$101,237.65? What the
heck did you sell?'
The kid says, 'First, I sold him a small
fish hook. Then I sold him a medium
fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook.
Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked
him where he was going fishing, and he said down
the coast, so I told him he was going to need a
boat, so we
went down to the boat department, and I
sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then
he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would
pull it, so I took him down to the automotive
department and sold him that
4x4
Expedition.'
The boss said 'A guy came in here to buy
a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and
a TRUCK?'
The kid said 'No, the guy came in here
to buy Tampons for his wife, and
I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you
should go fishing.
