The big boss's orders as
well as the boss of the sales company are selling combs in themonastery or monastery that most of the residents have bald heads who don't
have hair at all. Sell combs to bald people
For this valuation company it is very important and this test is a
requirement to be accepted as a sales employee in a Big company and BONAFIT COMPANY.
There are 3 people who apply for the position. This test is of course very
difficult and very beyond reason. The three prospective employees are assigned
to different monasteries and have almost the same level of temple residents and
visitors.
The
first prospective employee starts acting,
He
offered his comb to the monks one by one, starting with the most senior monks
to the most recent monks. But no one is interested in buying the comb because
everything is bald and there is no hair to comb. Finally he went to a very old
monk, because this was the most senior monk among all the monks in the
monastery. His head was bald, but his beard was long and thick. The first
prospective sales employee recounted what was his duty from the company to the
senior monk.
Finally,
with compassion at hearing the explanation of the young salesman, the senior
monk bought a piece hair comb. The end of the sales employee candidate managed
to sell the comb in the temple 1 piece.
The
second prospective sales employee will act ...
Because
it was assigned to sell combs in the monastery, so he turned his brain how to
increase sales. He thinks that selling a comb to a monk is not profitable. So
he sold the comb to visitors at the temple. He went to all the crowds, who
visited the monastery, so he could sell 20 combs.
The
third prospective sales employee in action ....
This
third sales candidate made the sales director amazed, because he got sales of
500 combs sold at the monastery, in stark contrast to his partners who could
only sell just few comb. In fact he did it in a very short time. The sales
director ask directly how to sell combs at the temple.
What
is the strategy?
The
Strategy of this young man, He went to the most senior head monk, "he told
the chief monk that he wanted to provide assistance to the monastery but by
selling a comb to make souvenirs and the profits he would give to the Head monk
on condition that this comb would be made a souvenir to visitors to the temple
with the signature of the monk head of the monastery. " Finally, the sale
of the comb runs automatically.
I
hope the story above becomes the material for our reflection to make us think
outside the box.
