On a visit to his grandma, the salesman listened while she complained about the high cost of living.
"When I was a girl," she said, "you could go out with twenty cents and come back home with a dozen eggs, two pints of milk, a pound of bacon, half a pound of tea and a fresh chicken."
"That's inflation for you," said the salesman.
"It has nothing to do with inflation," she snapped. "It's all those darn security cameras that shops have nowadays!"
Moral of the story. True sales professionals know that they can learn a lot from their elders. By listening to their advice you can not only profit from their past successes but you learn to avoid making the same mistakes they made throughout their career.
