A young guy from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job. Upon meeting the manager, the manager asks, "do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yes, I was a salesman back in Minnesota. Well the boss liked the kid and gave him a job. "You start tomorrow and 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 to see him. "How many customer's bought something from you today?" The kid said, "One". The boss say's, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?" The kid say's, "101, 237.65". The boss say's, "101, 237.65? What the hell did you sell him?" The kid say's, "First, I sold him a small fish hook, then I sold him a medium fish hook, then I sold him a larger fish hook and a fishing rod. I then asked him where he was going fishing and he told me down the coast, so, I told him he was going to need a boat, we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft.
He then informed me that he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that decked out Ford Expedition." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK? Is that right?" The kid answered, "No, the guy came in to buy Tampons for his wife, and I said, DUDE, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing." |
