After a fairly ordinary career as a tooth-brush salesman there came a sudden surge in sales.
The sales manager was keen to find out just how the improvement came about. The tooth-brush rep was invited to disclose all.
“Its like this,” he said, “I set up a little stand offering free dip, when the punters tried it they said it tasted like shit. It is shit says I, would you like to buy a toothbrush?”
Much impressed, the sales manager said “How did you think of that?”
The rep replied “It’s the standard Gillard business model, give them something for nothing then make them pay to get the bad taste out of their mouths.”
