Little Johnny, the Smart Salesman
March 10th, 2010
The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited.
Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.
Little Mary led off: “I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30.”
She said proudly, “My sales approach was to appeal to the customers’ civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success.”
“Very good,” said the teacher.
Little Sally was next: “I sold magazines.”
She said, “I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current events.”
