NO IMPOSSIBLE SELLING JOBS
The young salesman come in
to report on an important con­
tact he had been sent out to
make. From his expression I
could see he had failed.
“Well?” queried the boss.
“An impossible situation —
that’s what it was,” alibied the
salesman.
“What do you mean ?”
“That bird is impossible to
sell.”
“Do you mean he’s impossible
to sell or that you are incapable
of selling him?” asked the sales
manager.
“What I said— he’s impossible
to sell.”
“Ever hear the story about
how a farm boy whipped a prob­
lem that four expert mechanics
couldn’t solve?” asked the boss.
“No.”
“I ’ll tell it to you. These me­
chanics had been working for
hours, trying to loosen a truck
that was wedged under a low
bridge. Next morning this kid,
on his way to school, paused to
watch.
“ ‘Haven’t you moved that old
truck yet?” he asked. ‘I could do
it all by myself in five minutes.’
The mechanics didn’t want any
advice from a kid; they ignored
him. Finally, one of them said :
‘Beat it, kid.’ But another said:
‘Let’s see if the kid has ideas.
. . . Okay, kid, how would you
get this truck clear in five min­
utes?’ he asked. The boy re­
sponded eagerly: ‘Easy enough
— just let the air out of the
tires.’ They did. The truck
went through. It didn’t take five
minutes. Do you get the point
of my story?”
“I believe I do,” said the sales­
man. “Just find out how to sell
’em.”
He went out.
Next day I saw the sales man­
ager. Said he: “Well, he let the
air out of the tires all right. I
had an idea he would make the

ROBBINS REPORTS
DEMAND UP FOR
M ACH IN ES
Dave Robbins, head of D.
Robbins & Company, distribu­
tors of reconditioned cigarette
machines, reports a greatly ac­
celerated demand for used
equipment.
“With the cut in production
of new machines because of de­
fense requirements for the raw
materials, operators are pur­
chasing more reconditioned
equipment than ever before,”
stated Robbins, “What I should
like to stress at this time, is the
necessity for operators to buy
now because, as the supply of
used equipment becomes scarce
due to the retrenching policies
operators will be forced to pur­
sue, prices will rise; and, the
operator can beat that by buy­
ing now.”
Don’t “make” sales — “buy”
them.
There is no line in which you
do not have some form of “cur­
rency” whereby you can buy the
sales you want. When you have
nothing to give to your pros­
pects, why should they give you
anything?
Q. How do I get the highest
return on my investment in De­
fense Savings Bonds?
A.
By holding each Bond for
its full term of years you will se­
cure the full maturity value. A
Defense Savings Bond of Series
E increases in value 33l/3% if
held for 10 years.
“The years have c h a n g e d
Dotty’s dangerous curves to ex­
tended detours.”
January, 1942
