The Manager says: "Do you have any sales experience?"
The Indian says: "Sir, I was a salesman back home in India.
"Well, the boss liked the Indian chappie so he gave himthe job. "You start tomorrow.. I'll come down after weclose 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?"
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 youwant to keep this job, you'd better be doing betterthan just one sale. By the way, how much was the salefor?"
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 smallfishhook.
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 saiddown on the coast, so I told him he'll be needing aboat, so we went down to the boating department and Isell 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 automotivedepartment and sell him that 4X4 Blazer.
I then ask him where he'll be staying, and since hehad no accommodation, I took him to camping departmentand sell him one of those new igloo 6 sleeper camper tents.
Then the guy said, while we're at it, I should throwin about $100 worth of groceries and two cases ofbeer.
The boss said: "You're not serious? A guy came in hereto 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 buyAnacin for his headache, and I said: Well, fishing is the best way to relax your mind."

Salaam Namasthe for the Indians who are amazing non-Inidans with their amazing talent..
Namma evvalavu periya aalunnu namma oora vittu ponaathaan theriudhu..
Basically Indians have more mental stamina to survive in any of the pressurous condition and also flexible and sinciere in completing duties. I feel this makes us to win..
Very nice and intersting one
mmm...gud one
I dont think this story involves an Indian salesman. It has become a trend wherein our folks find an interesting & clever article/ joke on the net and then substitute it with an Indian person in it. But a very curious read, nevertheless.
100% Correct filbert. Actually it is a forwarded mail....I posted it as it was interesting....
If they stay back in India and do this 4 our country india would be in great heights!...Great Post!
