A man was down on his luck and in desperate need of a job.
\nHe saw an advertisement in the newspaper for a job in sales. He didn\u2019t know anything about sales but figured he could learn, so he contacted the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very simple,\u201d said the hiring manager. \u201cYou go door-to-door selling toothbrushes. Everyone needs a toothbrush, you should be able to sell lots of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man agreed and went out to a large housing tract for the day. When he returned to the office, he was asked how his day went.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sold one toothbrush,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The hiring manager was not happy. \u201cLook, I know it\u2019s your first day in sales, so I\u2019ll forgive it this time. But you gotta sell more than one if you want to keep your job.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next day, the man went to another neighborhood. When he returned to the office at the end of the day, he said, \u201cI sold two toothbrushes today!\u201d<\/p>\n
Now the hiring manager was furious. \u201cIt is far from enough! You have one more day to get this right. If you don\u2019t sell a lot more tomorrow, you\u2019re fired.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the man came back to the office at the end of the next day, he was again asked how he did. \u201cI sold 1500 toothbrushes!\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my God!\u201d said the hiring manager. \u201cThat\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s more than anyone has ever sold in one day before. How did you do it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d he began, \u201cI went to a grocery store and set up a table outside with some chips and some dip. And I asked people to try them. They would taste it and say, \u2018This dip tastes like s-h.it!\u201d<\/p>\n
And I would say, \u201cIt is! Would you like to buy a toothbrush?\u201d<\/p>\n
