About the Author


Best. Salesman. Ever.

Yossi Rubenstein just graduated from high school yet he managed to get himself a job at a fishing store in upstate New York. He did so by convincing the owner, Al, that he was the greatest salesman ever.
"How many customers did you serve today?" Al asked.
"One,” Yossi replied.
"Only one?!" exclaimed Al.
"How much was the sale?"
"$58,334.00"
Flabbergasted Al asked Yossi to explain. Yossi said, "First I sold the man a fishhook. Then I sold him a rod and a reel. Then I asked him where he was planning to fish, and he replied down the coast. So I suggested he'd need a boat - he bought that six-metre motor boat. When he said his car might not be able to pull it, I took him to the auto department and sold him a big vehicle."
Amazed, Al asked, "You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fishhook?"
"No," Yossi replied. "He actually came in for a bottle of aspirin for his wife's migraine. I told him, 'Your weekend's shot. You should probably go fishing.'"
