Interviewer- Could you sell me this stapler ?
Neal- Ma’am, will you buy this stapler?
Interviewer- I already have it.
Neal- No it is not the same.
Interviewer- What’s unique?
Neal- This stapler is the best stapler in the market you can have. It’s gun like spring mechanism amplifies your finger pressure. So, you don’t have to put so much pressure while punching. You can staple about 100 sheets with a little effort.
Interviewer- Anything else?
Neal- It has an adjustable lever and handle. This stapler can be converted to a long reach stapler.
Source- Random image from google
Interviewer- I already know that because I have the same stapler with me which I bought 2 years ago.
Neal- Is it working fine? I think the handle is not functioning well.
Interviewer- It’s working fine. No issues with the handle at all.
Neal- That’s what I wanted to listen. This stapler works great for at least 10 years. Then why don’t you buy another one?
Interviewer- Why should I?
Neal- I came here after researching bit about your company.
Interviewer- So?
Neal- Your company is expanding, Ma’am. That’s why every candidate here wants to be a part of your company.
Interviewer- How is it associated with the stapler?
Neal- Normal staplers require so much pressure. Every employee of your organisation who are using a stapler, press it through their thumb finger.
Interviewer- So what?
Neal- Putting so much pressure on thumb causes headache.
Interviewer- So?
Neal- If your employees have headache, obviously the productivity of your company go down.
Interviewer- Okay!
Neal- Then you should stop that big issue by changing those staplers with this affordable unique stapler?
Interviewer- Great job. [Claps]
