One fine day, a manager of a large American MNC asks his Indian salesman: "Do you have any sales experience?" The Indian guy says: "Sir, I was a salesman back home in India."
Well, the boss liked the Indian chappie and so gave him the job. "You start tomorrow.. I'll come down after we shut shop and see how you did."
His first day on the job was a lil’ rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How much did you sell today?"
Indian boy says: "Sir, Just ONE sale."
The boss says: "Just one? No! No! No! You see here our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day." If you want to keep this job, you'd better be doing better than just one sale. By the way, how much was the sale for?" Indian boy says: " $101 237.64"
Boss says: "$101,237.64? What the hell did you sell?"
Indian boy says:
"Sir, First I sell him small fishhook. Then I sell him medium fishhook. Then I sell him large fishhook. Then I sold him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.
Then I ask him where he's going fishing and he said down on the coast, so I told him he'll be needing a boat, so we went down to the boating department and I sell him twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to our automotive department and sell him that 4X4 Blazer.
I then ask him where he'll be staying, and since he had no accommodation, I took him to camping department and sell him one of those new igloo 6 sleeper camper tents.
Then the guy said, while we're at it, I should throw in about $100worth of groceries and two cases of beer.
The boss said: "You're not serious? A guy came in here to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat, a 4X4 truck and a tent?"
Indian boy says: "No Sirji, actually he came in to buy Anacin for his headache, and I said: Well, fishing is the best way to relax your mind!!!”
