Fuel price increase takes a toll on their energy

The gusty winds, it seems, are blowing the fortunes of sales representatives.

The winds are turning out to be more of a stumbling block to their pattern of work than rain or shine.

Ever since the cost of petrol skyrocketed, two-wheelers have ceased to be mode of travel in the city for many of their ilk.

Scores of sales representatives of consumer durables/perishables could be seen treading on in bicycles from one household to another along with the load of products while undertaking door-to-door campaigns.

But with the wind blowing rather hard, they lose all their energy pedalling.

The result: they gasp for breath while making a presentation of their products.

In some cases, however, sympathetic people turn potential customers.

From R. Krishnamoorthy in Tiruchi
