Lesson in sales

A manager at a General Store is teaching a young, newly hired boy how to sell people more than they really want.

Suddenly, a man walks in asking for a bag of lawn seed.

The manager walks up to him and says, “Of course. But you will be wanting a lawn mower, too, right?”

The man asks, “Why would I be?”

The manager replies, “Because when the lawn seed grows, you’ll need something to cut the grass with.”

Surprisingly, the man buys a lawn mower.

Then another man walks in and asks for a box of Tampax. The manager nudges the newly hired boy.

The boy walks up to the man and says, “Right away, Sir. But, of course, you will be wanting a lawn mower with that, right?”

The shocked man asks, “Why?!”

The young man then replies, “Well, your weekend’s screwed, so you might as well mow the lawn.”
