Sales Meeting

At a sales meeting in Detroit, a participant was introduced as The Great Swami. He had a towel wrapped around his head and was said to be capable of mind reading. A member of the audience was called to the front. The Great Swami supposedly read his mind.

After heavy concentration the Great Swami stated the first thought lifted from the subject’s mind: “I hope … I hope my wife … I hope my wife really thinks I’m going to see a sick friend tonight.” Then the second thought: “Our sales manager is … Our sales manager is much worse than Simon Legree!”

After a couple of laughs, some constructive “thoughts” were brought out. One was: “I should push the combination packages instead of being just an order taker for the articles in demand.” Another was: “I can adapt our services to the customer’s needs if I take the trouble to learn what needs actually exist.”
