So do you have any sales experience? Yeah I had a similar job in London Okay you can start today.. I'll swing by at the end of the day just to see how you did Okay great thanks a lot! So how did you get on? Yeah not bad I made one sale Only 1 most of our workers sell between 20 and 30 items per day. How much was the sale for? $101,500 101,500 what the hell did you sell? First I sold him a fishing hook and then I sold him a fishing rod. Then I asked where he was going fishing and he said by the coast so I said he's gonna need a boat. So I sold him that crisscroft that we got. Then he said his Honda Civic wouldn't be able to pull it so I took him down to the car department and sold him that 4x4 That's incredible a guy comes in here to buy a fishing hook. And you sell him a boat and a fishing hook No he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife. So I said well that's your weekend shot you might as well go fishing
