A great salesman

A guy walks into the world's largest department store in the hopes to land a job as a salesperson at the renowned retailer. With this in mind he approaches the store mangager.
"Hi, I would like to inquire about a position as a salesperson here."
The store manager replies rather smugly: "Well, this store sells everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - so we need only the best to work here"

"I am a great salesperson - just give me a chance!" said the guy.

"I just don't know if you have that kind of expertise." said the manager.

"Well, just give me a chance. Let me work here for the day for no pay and if by 5 o' clock I haven't done well, I will leave. No questions asked."

The manager agrees.

5 o'clock comes around and the manager approaches the applicant.
"So. How did you do?" the manager asked.
"Well, I made a sale!" said the applicant gleefully.
"One sale?!" the manager chides. "One?! The salespeople here make multitudes of sales in a day. How do you expect to get hired with just one sale in one day?"
"Well, it was a big one." said the applicant. "It was for a little over thirty-two thousand dollars."
The manager falls back clutching his chest. "How in the HELL did you sell thirty-two thousand dollars worth of stuff?"

"Well, it's rather simple actually," explains the applicant. "This guy comes in and I sell him some fishing gear so that he can go fishing this weekend. It turns out that he doesn't have a boat so I sell him a boat. Well, he then said he didn't have a way to tow the boat so I sold him a truck to tow the boat to the lake. He also bought camping gear and accessories to make his weekend just right."

"How did you do that?" said the manager.

"Simple," said the applicant. "He came in looking for tampons so I said: 'Since you're not doing anything this weekend, you might as well go fishing.' "
