Chinese mini story – 推销员 The Salesman [Elementary Level] 5

推销员  5

 
女户主一想，这种清洁剂的包装确实漂亮。如果卖得火证明质量也不会差。买几瓶送送亲戚朋友其实也蛮好。于是她问，＂哟，还涨价呢？如果你们自己买，能有优惠吗？＂
＂我们自己买倒是可以拿到七折呢。＂矮个儿自豪地说。
“七折？那你帮我买几瓶行吗？＂女户主恳切地问。
就这样，女户主痛痛快快地买了十瓶。
两个推销员在下午两点之前，卖光了整车的清洁剂。
挣到钱后的高个儿并没有急着高兴，他坐在回家的车上，问开车的矮个儿，＂师傅，这些买家的大多数都没有真正试用过我们的产品，那他们使用后会不会又退货呢？＂
矮个儿用一只手拍拍高个儿的背，＂放心吧！我从来不推销劣质产品。我找过世上最挑剔的客户试用过这个产品，评价很高呢！所以我才能放心大胆地去推销。＂
＂噢？是吗？你找的是谁啊？＂高个儿好奇地问。
＂我老婆。＂

The Salesman 5
The two salesmen sold out their full carload of product before two o’clock in the afternoon.

 
Money made, the tall guy did not get happy too soon. He asked the short guy while driving the car home,”Sir, most buyers today haven’t actually tried out our product, do you think they will return the product once they start to use?”

 
The short one patted the tall one’s back and said,”Just relax! I never sell poor quality stuff. I’ve had the most picky customer in the world try it out before, and the feedback was really good! Because of that, I was able to go out there and sell them with full confidence.”

 
“Oh? Really? Who was that?” The tall one asked curiously.

 
“My wife.”
