A field salesman is driving along a highway between calls and
sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to
avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front
of his rental car. The driver, a sensitive salesman as well as an animal
lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.
Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead. The salesman feels so awful that
he begins to cry.
A beautiful blonde woman
driving down the highway sees the salesman crying on the side of a road
and pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks the salesman what's
wrong. "I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit
and killed it."
The blonde says, "Don't
worry." She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to
the limp, dead rabbit, bends down, and sprays the contents onto the
rabbit. The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops
off down the road. Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and
waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves,
hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again
and again, until he hops out of sight.
The
salesman is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is
in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?" The woman turns the can
around so that the man can read the label. It says, "Hair Spray -
Restores life to dead hair, adds permanent wave."
Moral of the story. True sales professionals realize that in order to succeed at sales they must look successful. Dead looking hair can really take the life out of your commission check. So take control of your hair with a just a bit, but not to much, hair spray. You'll be able to give mediocrity a permanent wave good bye.
