英文故事
The Slick Salesman
In a bustling market, there was a slick salesman named Jack. He could convince anyone to buy anything with his smooth talking and polished demeanor.
One day, a wary customer approached Jack, skeptical of his slick tactics. Jack, aware of the skepticism, changed his approach. He provided honest information, and his sincerity surprised the customer.
Jack’s ability to adapt and shed his slick image demonstrated that genuine communication can be more effective than smooth talking. From that day forward, Jack built trust with his customers by being straightforward and transparent.*
