HumorShack - Business Joke #23 [Previous Joke] [Next Joke] Sporting goods sales One day in the department store, a salesman had been laid off. So, went and complained to the manager. "Please don't lay me off! Just put me in your worst selling department, and I'll turn it around in one week! If I don't, you can fire me!" The manager thought this was a fair deal, so he put him in the Sporting Goods department. Well, a week had passed, and the manager had forgotten about the deal. That is, until, he saw the sales report. The Sporting Goods were now the number one seller, almost double sales from a week ago. The manager went to investigate. When he got there, he watched the salesman in the middle of the sale. He was selling fishing equipment. "So, what bait are you going to use? Plain worms?" "No! This lure is designed to attract fish from as much as 200 feet away, using designer colors and mechanisms that make it look like it was alive as a real fish! You'll take them? Good!" "What rods are you going to use? Those? No! These rods are so flexible and strong, they can send a lure halfway across the lake! You'll take them? Good!" "Where are you going to fish? Off the dock? No! This speedboat we are selling has a motor that is so quiet, even other fisherman couldn't hear you come up on an ideal spot, let alone other fish! You;ll take it? Good! The bill comes to $23,473.75. Have a nice trip!" Once the buyer had gone, the manager ran up to the salesman. "That was the best sale I've ever seen! You can keep your job! By the way, how did you do it?" "Well," said the salesman, "That guy was over there with his wife while she bought some Kotex. And I said to him, "Hey buddy, as long as you're not going to be doing anything for the next couple days..." Submitted by: Ann C [Previous Joke] [Next Joke]
