A young man from Alabama moves to New York.
He walks into an “Everything under one roof” department store looking for a job.
He sits down, greets the manager, and shakes his hand.
The manager says, “Do you have any sales experience?”
The man replies, “Yes, I was a salesman back home in Alabama.”
They talk and get to know each other and the manager likes him so he gives him the job. “You start tomorrow. I’ll come by after we close and see how you did.”
His first day on the job was rough, but he pulled through it.
After the store closed, the manager came down just like he said, “How many customers bought something from you today?”
The man replies, “One.”
The boss looks at him and shouts, “Just one!?
Our salespeople have an average of 20 to 30 customers per day! “..“How much was the sale for!?”
The man replies “$121,237.65”
The boss was now shocked: “What did you sell?”
The man says, “First I sold him a small fishhook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then a new fishing rod. So I asked him where he was going to fish and he said on the coast, so I told him he needed a good boat, we went down to that department, and he got a twin-engine Boston Whaler. Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull the boat, so I took him to the automotive department and sold him a truck.
The boss frowned and said, “A man came here to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat and a truck???”
The man replied, “No, the guy came here to buy some t.a.m.p.o.n.s for his wife and I said, “Man, your weekend’s busted, might as well go fishing’.
The following day, the boss gave the young man a promotion…
What a comeback! I was laughing so hard I couldn’t keep my coffee inside.
A salesman returns from his assignment in Saudi Arabia
A salesman returns from his assignment in Saudi Arabia where he went to sell them a new brand of Coca-Cola.
Seeing his crestfallen face, a friend asks him: “Why the long face?”
The salesman replied: “I failed in Saudi Arabia, the campaign was a total failure.”
“Why is that?” Asked the friend, “I thought you had a good campaign running.”
“Well, when I got posted there, I was very confident that I would make a great sales pitch for the Saudis. But I had a problem – I didn’t speak Arabic, so I planned to convey the meaning of the message with the use of three images: First poster: A man lying in the hot desert sand in utter exhaustion, he has fainted. Second poster: The man is drinking the new Coca-Cola brand. Third poster: Our man is now totally refreshed and feeling great. I had these posters pasted all over the place. You couldn’t go anywhere without seeing them.”
“Great! That should have worked!” said the friend.
“The heck it should have!” said the salesman. “Only no one told me they read from right to left!!”
LOL!!
Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
