How to sell 1000 comb to monk temple?

I heard of it when I was a child. Now, according to my memory, I wrote the following:

It means a comb seller sells combs in front of a temple. The monks were very angry and said that there was not a hair on our heads. What's the use of a comb? The comb seller said, "Those who come to worship incense are all unkempt and unkempt by the wind. It is disrespectful to Buddha not to comb their hair. You sell them combs to worship Buddha and earn some incense money. Why not? " The monk heard the truth and bought all his combs.

In other words, _ _ _ _ _ _ asked the monk to sell the comb to the worshippers.

Some people apply it to commercial marketing in modern times, and there are also stories, excerpts of which are as follows:

Almost everyone expressed doubts: selling combs to monks? How is that possible? Are you kidding? Many people backed out, but three people bravely accepted the challenge ... The deadline of one week came, and three people returned to the company to report their sales practice results. Mr. A only sold one, Mr. B sold 10 and Mr. C actually sold 1000. Under the same conditions, why are the results so different? The company asked them to talk about their sales history.

Mr. Jia said that he went to three monasteries and was scolded and chased by countless monks, but he remained indomitable. Finally, he touched a young monk and bought a comb.

Mr. Wang went to a famous temple. Because the mountains are high and the wind is strong, the hair of the good men and women who came to make pilgrimages was blown out of order. Mr b went to the abbot and said, "unkempt appearance is disrespectful to the Buddha. Put a wooden comb in front of each incense table so that men and women can comb their hair. " The abbot thinks it makes sense. There was a 10 incense table in that temple, so I bought a 10 comb.

Mr. C came to a famous Buddhist temple in the deep mountains and said to the abbot, "All those who come for pilgrimage have a sincere heart, and the Buddhist temple should give back, bless peace and good fortune, and encourage more good deeds. I have some combs in my collection, and your handwriting is very good. You can engrave the word' Jishan comb' as a gift. " The abbot was overjoyed and immediately bought 1000 combs.

The company believes that the three candidates represent three types of people in marketing work, each with its own characteristics. Teacher Jia is a persistent salesman. His advantages are hard work, persistence and sincerity. Mr. B has the ability to observe things, reason and judge, and can boldly imagine and realize sales according to the situation; As for Mr. C, he developed a new market demand through the analysis and research of the target population, bold creativity and effective planning. Because of Mr. C's extraordinary wisdom, the company decided to hire him as the head of the marketing department.

What is even more exciting is that when Mr. C's "Jishan Comb" came out, it spread to ten, ten to a hundred, and there were many letters and incense. So the abbot placed an order with Mr. C again. In this way, Mr. C not only sold 65,438+0,000 combs at one time, but also got a long-term order.
