Discovering a leak in the bathroom, the salesman's wife called the plumber, who fixed the problem in just a couple of
minutes. The bill, however, was substantial, so substantial, that the
salesman called to complain to the plumber when he got home that evening. "You weren't here for more than ten
minutes," he said, "and I don't charge that much when I do a top level
C-Level Executive consulting engagement!"
"I know," responded the plumber sympathetically, "I didn't either, back when I was just a salesman!"
Moral of the story. True sales professionals realize when they compare their chosen with others, the grass isn't always greener..... Unless of course the grass is over a leaky septic tank, and you happen to be a plumber!
