'THE MAORI BOY'S APPROACH'..............................
A Maori boy 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 Otorohanga.'
The manager liked the boy so he gave him the job.
His first day on the job 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 boy 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?'
£ 124,237.64. pounds'
The manager choked and exclaimed 124,237.64 POUNDS!!
What the hell did you sell him?'
'Well, first I sold him a small packet of fish hooks, then a medium packet of fish hooks, 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 that it's a waste of time fishing from the shore and really needed 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 x 4 Toyota Land-Cruiser.
The manager, incredulous, said 'You mean to tell me....a guy came in here to buy fish hooks 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......
so I just told him that "Since your weekend's buggered mate, you may as well go fishing"
