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 fishhook. Then I sold him
a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod, a tackle box, and fishing line. 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 depar tment and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft, and told him if he didn't want to get lost, he better buy the latest navigational equipment too. 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 Lincoln Navigator."
The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fishhook and you sold
him a BOAT, a TRUCK, and all the rest?"
The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife
and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot anyway, you should go fishing.

Re: THE ULTIMATE SALESMAN
Awesome!
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge

And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger
