As a first job a young man goes to work at the local general store. When he gets there the manager tells him that he must learn salesmanship and upselling. "We can't keep you here if you can't get people to buy more stuff". A man opens the door and the manager tells the young man to watch how he does it.

Hello sir, how can I help you today?

Well I have these bare spots in the lawn, so I need some grass seed

Grass seed? Certainly sir, Here's 5lbs.... Do you have fertilizer to help it grow strong?

No, you better give me a bag of that too

Certainly.... Say do you have a hose to water the lawn?

No, come to think of it I don't, I'll need that too

Sure sure, well since you now will have the grass growing and fertilized, how is your mower? As the manager pushes a new shiny mower out

Your right, I should get that new mower. Wow, you've been so helpful. I really appreciate it.

The man pays and leaves with everything

The manager turns to the young man and says "See, now that's how its done. He walked in thinking he was going to spend $10, and we sold him over $300. That's what you need to learn"

A woman is headed for the door and the young man tells the manager he feels confident and can get this. The manager is reluctant that the young man knows what to do, but backs up and lets the young man have a try.

Hello miss, how can I help you today

Oh aren't you sweet, I'm not a miss. As she blushes she leans in and says "I need a box of tampons"

The young man nods and goes in the back and returns with the tampons and a lawn mower, he promptly put s the mower right up on the counter with the tampons

The woman has a confused look, "What do I need with a lawn mower?"

The young man looks right at her and says calmly "Well if you can't screw, you might as well be useful and mow the lawn"
