an excellent story about sales

I love stories that capture the essence of mastery. Here is the latest one I read on LinkedIn Answers. The question: Best sales person you've ever worked with... What makes them great?.

I met a great sales guy in a local train.

Two of them selling hair bands for women came into compartment. While one just passed through a bunch of guys sitting next to the door, another one stopped and asked the guys if he they want to buy the band.
Guys had good laugh before asking what makes him think they need the hair band. He suggested that you can give it to your sister, mother or any other female. What if they dont like it or require it ? asked another guy.
He said, "They will like that you care about them and the band is costing you dirt".

All the guys sitting there bought one pair each.

new gift Idea... for ME!

This evening.. in the midst of the evening chaos of a family of 5 meeting for dinner with 2 more. I decided I was going to rock and roll on the piano a bit. Then, I was inspired to rattle on with a few more riffs. The enjoyment was so liberating that I jumped in all the way and started really banging the keys. I think it sounded decent... I dont know... I just know that it was elating to play some rock and roll without really thinking about anything else.

One day, I dream that I will play the keys like Fess (aka Doctor Professor Longhair) or Old lovinghair as the ladies call him. Here is a gift idea for me: http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/showonemerch.asp?TypeID=74&ProductID=30037

Also, today I delivered my 10th speech at Toastmasters. That was interesting! This means I am awarded with the Competent Communicator status.
