The Manager says: “Do you have any sales experience?â€
The Indian says: “Sir, I was a salesman back home in India.â€
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.â€
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?â€
Indian boy says: “Sir, Just ONE sale.â€
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?â€
Indian boy says: “ $101 237. 64â€
Boss says: “$101 237. 64? What the hell did you sell?â€
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?â€
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.
