A bright and enthusiastic young man applied for a sales position to a huge department store that literally sold everything. Even though he had never worked in sales, the manager liked his looks and was impressed with his attitude and told him he could start the next day, a Friday.
The young man showed up 20 minutes early the next day. The manager wished him well and promised to get a report at closing time.
After closing the manager walked up to see the young man shaking hands with a smiling customer. This impressed the manager. "Well did you make the sale son." "Yes sir I did." "How many customers did you make a sale to on your first day ?" " That man was the only one sir." The manager is very disappointed. "Well son you will need to do better than that. Most of our associates make sales to 20 to 30 folks every day. Tell me, how much was the sale worth?"
The young man got out his calculater and after a few seconds of figuring said "One hundred ninty six thousand eight hundred twenty three dollars and seventy four cents." The manager's jaw dropped "H...H...How did you manage that!"
"Well when he came in this morning about 10:00 I first sold him a box of fish hooks, then a couple of spools of fishing line. Next I got him to buy a very nice rod and reel, a complete tackle kit with all the bells and whistles, a spear gun, scuba tank, wet suit, several nets, a cooler and a keg of beer. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast. I told him if he really wanted to catch the big ones he needed a boat to get off shore, so we went down to the marine department and I sold him a 24 foot center console boat and a boat trailer. He was concerned his VW might not pull his new boat so we went down to the automotive department and I put him into a new SUV with a winch and roof rack and of course a trailer hitch. Oh he also sprung for the undercoating, deluxe floor mats and extended warrenty."
The manager is astounded. "You mean to tell me you sold all that to a man who came in to buy a couple of fish hooks?" "Oh no, he came in lookin to buy a blanket." "A blanket?!?" "Yes sir he needed an extra blanket to sleep on the couch. He and his wife had a big fight and she banished him to the couch. I told him sounded like your weekend is ruined so you might as well go fishing."............
