Best Salesman

The Manager says: "Do you have any sales experience?"

The Indian says: "Sir, I was a salesman back home in India."

Well, the boss liked the Indian chappie so he 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 sales did you make today?"

Indian boy says: "Sir, Just ONE sale."

The boss says: "Just one? No! No! No! You see here our sales people average
20 or 30 sales a day." If you want to keep this job, you'd better be doing
better than just one sale. By the way, how much was the sale for?"

Indian boy says: " $101 237. 64"

Boss says: "$101 237. 64? What the hell did you sell?"

Indian boy says: "Sir, First I sell him small fishhook. Then I sell him
medium fishhook. Then I sell him large fishhook. Then I sold him new fishing
rod and some fishing gear. Then I ask him where he's going fishing and he
said down on the coast, so I told him he'll be needing a boat, so we went
down to the boating department and I sell him twin engine Chris Craft.

Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him
down to our automotive department and sell him that 4X4 Blazer. I then ask
him where he'll be staying, and since he had no accommodation, I took him to
camping department and sell him one of those new igloo 6 sleeper camper
tents.

Then the guy said, while we're at it, I should throw in about $100 worth of
groceries and two cases of beer.

The boss said: "You're not serious? A guy came in here to buy a

fishhook and you sold him a boat, a 4X4 truck and a tent?"

Indian boy says: "No Sirji, actually he came in to buy Anacin for

his headache, and I said: Well, fishing is the best way to relax your

mind."

May be a kind of Humorous article. But, this is the way the sales persons are expected to work in retail industries
