SALES TEAM
3 Real Life Stories

2. The First …

3. Eleven people were dangling below a
helicopter on a rope. There were ten
HR people and one Sales guy.
Since the rope was not strong enough
to hold all the eleven, they decided that
one of them had to let go to save all the
others.

4. They could not decide who should be
the volunteer. Finally the sales guy
said he would let go of the rope
since sales guys are used to do
everything for the company. They
forsake their family, don’t claim all of
their expenses and do a lot of overtime
without getting anything in return.

5. When he finished his moving
speech all the HR people
began to clap…

6. Moral:
Never underestimate the
powers of the Salesmen.

7. The second …

8. A group of Salesmen and a group of HR
people take a train to a conference.
Each HR person holds a ticket. But the
entire group of salesmen has bought
only one ticket for a single passenger.
The HR people are just shaking their
heads and are secretly pleased that the
arrogant sales people will finally get
what they deserve.

9. Suddenly one of the sales person calls
out: “The conductor is coming!”. At
once, all the salesmen jump up and
squeeze into one of the toilets. The
conductor checks the tickets of the HR
people. When he notices that the toilet
is occupied he knocks on the door and
says: “Ticket, please!” One of the
salesman slides the single ticket under
the doors and the conductor continues
merrily on his round.

10. For the return trip the HR people decide
to use the same trick. The buy only one
ticket for the entire group but they are
baffled as they realize that the sales
team didn’t buy any tickets at all. After
a while one of the salesmen announces
again: “The conductor is coming!”
Immediately all the HR people race to a
toilet and lock themselves in.

11. All the salesmen leisurely walk to the
other toilet. Before the last salesman
enters the toilet, he knocks on the toilet
occupied by the HR people and says:
“Ticket, please!”

12. And the moral of the story?
HR people like to use the
methods of salesmen, but they
don’t really understand them.

13. The third …

14. Once upon a time three HR people
were walking through the woods and
suddenly they were standing in front of
a huge, wild river. But they desperately
had to get to the other side. But how,
with such a raging torrent? The first HR
guy knelt down and prayed to the Lord:
“Lord, please give me the strength to
cross this river! "

15. *pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord gave him long arms and
strong legs. Now he could swim across
the river. It took him about two hours
and he almost drowned several times.
BUT: he was successful!

16. The second HR guy, who observed this,
prayed to the Lord and said: “Lord,
please give me the strength AND the
necessary tools to cross this river!”

17. *pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord gave him a tub and he
managed to cross the river despite the
fact that the tub almost capsized a
couple of times.

18. The third HR man who observed all this
kneeled down and prayed: “Lord,
please give me the strength, the means
and the intelligence to cross this river!”

19. *pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord converted the HR man into an
Sales guy. He took a quick glance on
the map, walked a few meters upstream
and crossed the bridge.

20. Send this to all intelligent people in sales
team so that they have something to
smile about;
and to the HR people if you think they can
stomach the truth!
