SALESMANSHIP
A young guy from ND 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 ND".
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.
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 "$121,237.65".
The boss say s "$121,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"
The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a
medium fish hook. 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, and we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin
engine Boston Whaler. Then he said he didn't think his Honda would pull it,
so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4 x 4
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"

I use to be in sales
I sold a $30,000 camery to these people who came on my lot to kill time waiting for the next showing of star wars. It was cool.
