The Poor Man Who Sold To The Rich 💰

Let me tell you a weird story!!

A poorly dressed elderly man paid so much money to go on a very luxurious road trip meant for the rich…

On entering the bus his shoes were worn out, and he looked like the odd one.

Everyone on the bus was wondering how he got the money to afford this luxury trip.

The bus was noisy as those rich folks were busy catching up, debating football & politics with one another.

There was an odd reason the old man was on the bus….

Of course, he couldn’t easily afford to take a bus cruise. He had to literally sell almost everything he owned to be able to afford the trip but he had a plan…

This Old poor man wants to sell his local medicine & talisman to those rich people who can afford them so that his kids won’t go hungry again that night…

As the Trip began …. The poor old man stood up with his cracking voice as arranged with the driver (his friend) he pulled out two boxes and then shouted.

“Good afternoon everyone… My name is Mr Abaje I sell locally…”

But before he could say another word, those men shouted back at him;

“Can you just shut up for God’s sake”

Others went ahead to ignore him…

Some went ahead to insult him asking him to sit down…

The poor man shamefully went back to his sit and had the longest most miserable ride…

He had paid so much money to be on the bus..and had even had to bribe the bus driver his friend to get him a seat on the bus.

At this point had family was BROKE, HUNGRY and his selling his medicine to those rich folks who clearly could afford it was his family’s only hope for dinner that night and the next day..

Besides he would have to trek back as he put all his money and had even borrowed money for the last thing that could save his business (the bus strip)

…..wait let me guess, you are now feeling sorry for the poor old man right?

Well, he’s no longer poor because something changed…

He learned a big Secret that made him not just wealthy enough to be able to take good care of his family but also so wealthy he started sponsoring future trips for those rich men.

So the Big Question is…….What did he learn?

How does that apply to you and how can you use it today to 10x your business growth?

Back to the story…

So after the long bus ride, the old man was depressed and was coming down from the bus when another man put his hand on his shoulder…

He turned to look at the person when he realized it was one of the rude rich men. He wasn’t just one of the rich men he was the richest of them all…

Just like you, the old man was curious…

What does this overprivileged rich Man want again?

Does he want to mock me?

Should I beg him for money?

Should I ask him to help me?

While he was still thinking…

The rich man smiled at him, asked him his name, and started a conversation with the old man…

The Rich man said…

I want to tell you a Secret you should NEVER tell anyone… I was once like you but immediately I learnt what I want to tell you today I went from being broke to being a billionaire.

I know what you are thinking… You are trying to guess what the Rich Spoilt Boy told the poor old man.

But before I tell you let’s fast-forward to two weeks later…

The same old man went to meet his friends that he wanted to be on the next bus trip…

His friend begged him not to waste his money again……

Bla bla bla…

You all know what friends say when they think they are giving you a piece of sincere advice that would save you a lot of trouble but you know you won’t listen to them… because you have made up your mind to do it and nothing would change it..😂

That is exactly what happened here…

The old man even borrowed more money and paid more to get on the bus…

.

When the bus took off the old poor man was back to what he did the first time…

He stood up and as usual, he said

“Hello, My name is Mr. Abaje”/… (But instead of going on to try and sell them his product he did something totally strange)

Very very strange….

Something nobody expected…

He said…

“ I have 3 Mtn #5,000. Recharge card for the fastest finger here”

Just like that, he called… 327809765432

…3 seconds later, someone shouted I got it…

He called the second…

Another wealthy man at the back shouted I got it…

At this point, you can feel the energy in the room…

Ten seconds later another man shouted I got it…

Now he did not even need to shout, everybody was ready to listen to whatever this man said…..

So he said…

Hello my name is Abaje

And brought out his local herbs…

That was the end of the story…

He sold a lot

Lesson:

attention is the game of selling!!!
