The store manager said: “We are looking for somebody with sales experience but we’re having a holiday sale tomorrow and you can give it a try.”

At the end of the day the manager checked the day sales and was shocked, the boy had sold $79,083.25 worth of merchandise.

He asked the boy how he did it and he replied: “Well this guy was going fishing so I asked if he wanted some fish hooks. He said sure. That’s $1. I asked if he had a nice fishing pole. He said no and got a graphite pole for $44. I asked if he had a nice reel. He said no and I got him a reel for $35. I asked where he will be fishing and he said White Lake.

“I said the best places to fish are near the centre, and when he said he didn’t have a boat, I set him up with a 10 metre cruiser for $28,000. I asked if he had a trailer. He didn’t, so I got him a double axle trailer for $3,000. Then I asked what he had to tow the boat. He only had a station wagon, so I told him that just wouldn’t do, but we could get him a nice fully loaded Dodge Ram for $48,000. He wanted it all”.

The store manager was astounded: “And to think it all began with that man asking for fish hooks.”

The boy said: “Oh no, it all began with him asking for some $3.25 tampons for his girlfriend, and I said: ‘Well you won’t be doing much this weekend so you might as well go fishing!’”
