MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE


The Manager asked: "Do you have any sales experience?"

The Indian said: "Sir, I was a salesman back home in 


India ."
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."

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?"

Indian 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?"

Indian boy says: " $101 237. 64"

Boss says: "$101 237. 64? What the hell did you sell?"

Indian boy says: "Sir, First I sold him small

fishhook.

Then I sold him medium fishhook.

Then I sold him large fishhook.

Then I sold him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.

Then I asked him where he was 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

sold 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 sold him that 4X4 Blazer.

I then asked him where he'd 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 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?"

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."
