Girl at the Gym
I went to the gym today to get in my cardio, and I made the huge mistake of forgetting my iPod. There is nothing that can make a half an hour on an elliptical machine more boring than not having any tunes to crank up. And let’s not even talk about the music they play at the gym either. Ugh, I can’t take Celine Dion at all. Oh, and then they kick into some country music which makes me want to put a bullet in my head!
Right as I’m entering my weight and age and all into the machine, a really hot chick climbs onto the elliptical machine next to mine. We made eye contact then she said “hi” and smiles at me. We ended up striking up a conversation. It turns out we are both in sales, so we have plenty to talk about. She sells homeopathic stuff to homeopathic practitioners like homeopathy kits and water distillers. I sell musical instruments and equipment to music stores and schools.
So we start sharing some of our closing lines and techniques with each other. I have to admit that she had some good ones. In fact, at one point she was leading the conversation, and then pointed out that she had just gotten me to say “yes” maybe a dozen times. That’s a great thing to do before asking for the sale. Anyway, I ended up asking for the sale (a date) when we were finishing up, and this time she said “yes.”
