Lad from Blackpool moves South and gets a trial at Harrods as a salesman.
At the end of the first day, the manager says 'How many sales did you make?'.
He replies 'One'.
The manager says, our staff normally do 20 to 30, that's terrible. How much was it for?
'£256,743.53p'
Wow, says the manager, what did you sell him?
'Well, I started with a small fish hook, which I followed up with a medium fish hook, followed by a fishing rod. I then asked him where he'd be fishing and he answered Brighton.
I said for sea fishing you'll need a boat, so I took him down to the boat department and got him a boat and trailer. Because his car wouldn't be up to towing that, I managed to also sell him a 4 x 4 from the car department.
The manager is stunned and says, that is incredible sales technique.
That's not all, he replies. The bloke had come in for a box of tampons for his girlfriend. I said 'Well, that's your weekend gone, how about going fishing?'
