You Can't Take It Back! True Story!

Have you ever said something you can't take back. Here's a true story that recently happened in my office.

A salesperson came in the office selling children's books to hand out to the local kindergarten schools in our area. She had a great product and as much as I wanted, I declined to buy the books. (I'm trying to stay within my budget this year).


A few days later, she returned. Really trying to sell these great books, she now offered to furnish books for Ozark Schools and Nixa Schools for the same price. I really like these books and I know it would be beneficial for our children, but I continued to decline. Before she left, I told her if she didn't have any success selling to another agent to come back.


A week later she returned. I heard her talking to the Receptionist, so I went to greet her. Frustrated and flustered, she stated: I'm sorry, I haven't had any seex .............................stopped, looked at both the receptionist and me. (Meaning to say "success".) You could see the terror and embarrasment on her face.

Laughing and wiping the tears from our eyes, I finally told her we couldn't help her with her problem.........but we would buy her books!
