A young man put in his application at the local general hardware store for a sales job... the owner knew that the young man didnt have any sales experience so he decided to give him some pointers...

He gave the young man his apron and said, "ok, when someone comes in to buy one thing, do you know how to sell them more than they came in for?"... the young man replied that he didn't... the owner said to watch as the first customer comes in...

Owner: "Hi, how can we help you today?"
Customer: "Hi, I just need some fertilizer"
Owner: "Ok we have fertilizer... what kind of rake would you like with that? a loose rake or a stiff rake?"
Customer: "I just came in for fertilizer, why would I need to buy a rake? I just bought a house and need to get the yard green"
Owner: "Well, you need to rake up the leaves and dead grass before you put down the fertilizer, so will that be a loose rake or a stiff rake?"
Customer: "I guess I'll take the stiff one"

Owner: "Now, do you want an oscillating sprinkler or a simple sprinkler?"
Customer: "I just came in for fertilizer, why would I need to buy a sprinkler?"
Owner: "Well, once you rake up the leaves and put the fertilizer down, you'll need to water it to make it all work, so will that be an oscillating sprinkler or a simple sprinkler?"
Customer: "I guess I'll take the oscillating one"

Owner: "Now, will you be taking a gas or electric lawnmower with you today?"
Customer: "Look buddy, I just came in for fertilizer, and you've sold me a rake and a sprinkler... what in the world do I need a lawnmower for?"
Owner: "Sir, with the fertilizer and tools that you are buying today, your lawn is going to be the prettiest and nicest lawn in your neighborhood... you do realize that you'll have to mow it every week to keep it lush and beautiful, right?"
Customer: "Ok I'll take the gas lawnmower"...

The customer leaves and the owner steps over to the young man and says, "did you see that?... did you see how he only came in for one thing and I sold him more things?"

The young man replied that he thought he could do it too, so the owner told the young man to take the next customer...

Next customer comes in the store and the young salesman says, "How can we help you today, sir?"... the man seemed upset but said, "I need some tampons"... the young salesman started running things thru his head thinking how in the world he was going to sell this customer something else... finally the young salesman says, "and would you like a gas or electric lawnmower today?"... the customer says, "why in the world would I need a lawnmower being that I only came in for tampons?"... the young salesman pipes back, "well its obvious what your aren't going to be doing this weekend so you might as well mow the lawn".....
