A young university student



A young university student applied for a sales position in a large popular retail chain.

The Manager says: "Do you have any sales experience?"
The young man says: "Sir, I was a salesman back home."
Well, the boss liked the young lad 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?"
The 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?"
He says: " $101,237.64"
Boss says: "$101,237.64? What the hell did you sell?"

The young salesman says: "Sir, first I tried to sell him a small fishhook.
Then I tried to sell him a medium fishhook.
Then I tried to sell him a large fishhook.
Then I sold him a new fishing rod and some fishing gear.
Then I asked him where he's going fishing and he said down on the coast. With that I told him he'll be needing a boat. He agreed so we went down to the boating department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft.

Then he said he was unsure of the boat because he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it. So I took him down to our automotive department and sold him that 4X4 Blazer.
I then asked him where he'll be staying, and since he had no accommodation, I took him to camping department and sold 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 sales manager 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?"

The young man says: "No Sir, actually he came in to buy Anacin for his headache, and I said: "Well, fishing is the best way to relax your mind."
