A real salesman.... ( Archived) (8)

A young guy from Wisconsin moves to Texas and goes to a big ' every thing 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 sales man back in Wisconsin '


Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. 'You start tomor row. 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 customers bough t something from you today ?


The kid says ' one'.



The boss says ' Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day and you only had one.

How much was the sale for? '


The kid says ' $ 101, 237. 65 '.



The boss says ' $ 101,237.65? 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 larger 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, so 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 Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 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 some Tampons and pads for his wife, and I said, ' Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing............
'

Aww c'mon guys it's too early for me to be laughing this hard.
Geez I've only had one cup of coffee so far.

Both of these were brilliant! And that salesman joke is a good example of why I'm not good at sales, I guess.

great joke, both of them!! thanks for sharing!
