A young man starts working in a new sales job

at a major department store


At the close of business on his first day at
work, the store manager decides to stop in
to see how the new recruit is doing
He asks, “ How many sales did you have today? “
The Salesman answers,” ONE”
How come only one?
Most of my salesmen have 20-30 per day.
How much was the one sale you made?
Rs. 5.50 lac ! $ 133,344.00

What ? . . .
What did you sell ?
Rs. 5.50 lac ! $ 133,344.00

What ? . . .
What did you sell ?
Well, a guy wanted a fishing hook, so I also
sold him a rod
Then I told him he was going to need a boat,
so I took him to the boating department and
sold him 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 sports utility vehicle.
“A guy came in for a fishing hook
and you managed to sell him all of that? ”
Asked the manager.
“ No, he came for a suitcase for his wife and
I found that his weekend was going to be dull
anyway.”
So I just asked him, ” Why not do some fishing?”
