HOW TO SELL TOOTHBRUSHES

Productive Salesmanship.

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 Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30,"
she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the
customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my
obvious success."

"Very good," said the teacher.

 
Little Jenny was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made
$45 and I explainedto everyone that magazines would keep
them  up on current events."

"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher.

Eventually,  it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her
breath.
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped
a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said. 
"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" 
"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.
"Toothbrushes," echoed the  teacher, "How could you possibly
sell enough tooth brushes to make that  much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, 
"I set up a Dip & Chip stand.  I gave everybody who walked by
a sample.  
They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like sh*t!" 
Then I would say,

It is sh*t..... wanna buy a toothbrush?
