The neighbor wondered why the salesman's wife was wearing black.
"My husband died last week," she explained.
"Oh, I am so sorry to hear that," said the neighbor.
"Yes, he became ill on our last alpine vacation. He suffered a heart attack when someone attached a rocket to his skis."
"A rocket?" asked the neighbor. "That's terrible."
"Yes, after that he went downhill very fast."
Moral of the story. True sales professionals know that in order to succeed at sales you have to be able to deal with sudden ups and downs in your career. By keeping your nose to the grindstone and staying focused on your goals, no matter what obstacles may come your way, your career will be sure to take off like a rocket.
