A very good salesman

A kid from Louisiana moves to California and is looking for a job.

The manager asks, “Do you have any sales experience?”

The kid says, “Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Louisiana.”

The boss liked the kid so he gave him the job.

“You start tomorrow. After we close we’ll see how you did.”

First day on the job was rough but he got through it.

After the store closed, the boss asked, “How many sales today?”

The kid says, “One.”

The boss says, “One? We average 20 to 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?”

Kid says, “$101,237.64.”

Boss says, “$101,237.64? What the hell did you sell?”

Kid says, “First I sold him a small fish hook. Then a medium fish hook.

Then, a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod.I asked him where he was going fishing and he said “at the coast”, so I told him he was gonna need a boat.

We went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine.

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 Blazer.”

The boss said, “A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?”

Kid says, “No sir, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, ‘Well, your weekend’s shot, you might as well go fishing”.
