Ask a little joke about marketing

Best salesman

A young man from the countryside went to apply for a job as a salesman in the "world's largest" department store "Everything" in the city.

The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before?"

He replied, "I used to be a small trader, selling things door to door in the village." The boss likes his cleverness: "You can come to work tomorrow. I'll come and see after work. "

One day is too long for this poor boy from the countryside, and it is a bit hard. But the young people still stayed up until after 5 o'clock, and they were about to get off work. The boss really came and asked him, "How many orders did you make today?"

"An order," the young man replied. "There is only one order?" The boss was surprised and said, "Our salespeople here can basically complete 20 to 30 businesses a day. How much did you sell? "

"300,000 dollars," the young man replied. "How did you get so much money?" Stunned, a long time to return to absolute being boss asked.

"Well," said the young man from the countryside, "a person came in to buy things. I sold him the small hook first, then the medium hook and finally the big hook. Then, I sold him a small fishing line, a medium fishing line and finally a big fishing line. I asked him where to go fishing, and he said the seaside. I suggested that he buy a boat, so I took him to the boat counter and sold him a 20-foot-long twin-engine schooner. Then he said that his public might not be able to tow such a big boat. So I took him to the car sales area and sold him a new Toyota luxury cruiser. "

The boss took two steps back and asked incredulously, "You can sell so many things to a customer by buying a hook?"

"No," replied the young shop assistant from the countryside, "he came to buy sanitary napkins for his wife. I told him,' Your weekend is ruined, why don't you go fishing?' "
