A young guy from texas moves to calif. and goes to a big everything under one roof store looking for a job. The manager says,Do you have any experience? The kid says yeah I was a salesman back in TX.<br /> Well the boss liked the kid and gave him a job. You start tomorrow. I'll come and check on you when we close up. Well his first day was rough. At the end of the day here comes the boss. He said how many sales did you make today? The kid says one. Of course the boss is used to 20 to 30 sales a day from his employees. H ow much was the sale for?<br /> 201,237.64 The boss says great, what did you sale? <br /> First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a fishing rod. Then I ask him where was he going to fish and he said down the coast a ways.So we went down stairs an I sold him that twin engine triton boat. Then he said his honda civic wouldn,t pull the boat.<br /> I took him to automotive dept, and sold him that 4x4 Excursion. Boss says the guy came in after a fish hook and you sold him all that.<br />The kid says. "No he came in here to buy his wife a box of tampons, and I said your weekend is shot you might as well go fishing

Re: Salesmanship

"A Fisherman's Tale"<br /><br />Two fellas are fishing in a boat under a bridge.<br />One looks up and sees a funeral procession<br />starting across the bridge. He stands up, takes<br />off his cap, and bows his head.<br /><br />The procession crosses the bridge and the man<br />puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel, and<br />continues fishing.<br /><br />The other guy says, "That was touching. I didn't<br />know you had it in you." The first guy responds,<br />"Well, I guess it was the thing to do - after all, I<br />was married to her for 40 years."
