Employee of the month

[wlkelley3]

A young guy from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big
everything-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 salesman back in Minnesota .'

Well, the boss liked the kid and 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 customers bought something from you today?'

The kid says, 'One.'

The boss says, 'Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30
customers a day. 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
fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. 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 Chris Craft. 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 Tampons for his wife, and I
said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing'

Two veterans came home from the war, one had saved the others life and was told that if he ever needed help he would be there. They opened two stores across the street from each other, and as time went on one was making money hand over fist, the other was losing his ass. He went to his friend, and told him he that he didn't understand, they both sold the same things, and he was losing his ass. To this, his friend replied :it's just a matter of salemanship, watch me work the next customer and learn. A guy came in and wanted a bag of grass seed, he got the gras seed and the man paid him, he said wait a minute ifr you plant that seed you are going to need a bag of fertilizer to help it grow, sold the fertilizer and again the man started to leave. The owner said wait a minute if you plant that grass, fertilize it and it comes in real thick you are going to need a new lawn mower and sold the lawn mower. The man left and the owner told his friend, now that is salemanship. His friend thanked him and said he understood. Went back across the street and the first customer was a woman wanting a box of tampons, he said ok small, medium or large and she replied five me the big ones nad paid. She started to leave, and the owner said wait a minute you are going to need a lawn mower, she said what do I need a lawn mower for, he said "if you can't screw you can cut the grass
