Australian Approach to sales (Joke)

A young Aussie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job.
The manager asked 'Do you have any sales experience?'
The young man answered 'Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Dubbo.'
The manager liked the Aussie so he gave him the job.
His first day was challenging and busy, but he got through it.
After the store was locked up, the manager came down and asked, 'OK, so how many sales did you make today?'
The Aussie said 'One!'
The manager groaned and continued, 'Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale for?'

'£124,237.64p.'

The manager choked and exclaimed £124,23764!! What the hell did you sell him?'
'Well, first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook and then I sold him a new fishing rod.'
'Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast, so I told him he would need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin-engine Power Cat.'

'Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to car sales and I sold him the 4 x4

The manager, incredulous, said, 'You mean to tell me...a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a 4x4?'

'No, no, no... he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his lady friend and I said...
'Well, since your weekend's bu**ered, you might as well go fishing.'

On a UK vein rather than aussie.........


Two businessmen in Barnstaple were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new shop..

As yet, the shop wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other,
"I bet any minute now some old dear is going to walk by, put her face to the window, and ask what we're selling."

No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious
senior citizen walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice asked,
"What are you sellin' here?"

One of the men replied sarcastically,
"We're selling ass-holes."

Without skipping a beat, the old timer said,
"Must be doing well... Only two left."

Oldies! -- don't mess with them!
