Sales Representative

A young Indian guy from Gujarat (they're called Gujus)) moves to California and goes to a big department shopping complex looking for a job.

The Manager asks: "Do you have any sales experience?"

The Gujju says: "Sir, I was a salesman back home in Surat."

Well, the boss liked the Indian so he 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 sales did you make today?"

Guju 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?"

Guju says: "$ 101,237.64"

Boss says: " $ 101,237.64? What the hell did you sell?"

Guju says: Sir,First I sell him small fishhook. Then I sell him medium fishhook. Then I sell him large fishhook. Then I
sell 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 a $100 worth 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?"

Gujju says: "No Sir, actually he came in to buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said: Well, your weekend's stuffed, you might just as well go fishing."
