Japhy Surf Co. has expanded to become a clothing brand with multiple products, but it all began with the pitch in New York that no investor will ever forget.<\/p>\n<p>Geiszler showed up, as any wise entrepreneur would, with a suit and tie on a negative-five degree day in the Big Apple. Geiszler quickly realized that he wasn&#8217;t the only one capable of cleaning up well for the investor panel and everybody else was wearing suits and ties. With the intention to be remembered, Geiszler took his suit and tie off, threw on a pair of his swim trunks, ditched the shoes, and walked into the studio practically nude, where he was welcomed with rolling laughter. The producers and investors couldn&#8217;t believe that he walked onto set with only a bathing suit on during a snowy, negative-five degree day. In Geiszler&#8217;s words, &#8220;The investors were either completely sold, or just took pity on the clown standing in front of them, but they all decided to invest!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For Geiszler, he recognized the importance of standing out and asking yourself: what makes YOU different? Maybe that doesn&#8217;t mean stripping down to the bare minimum for your investors, but asking yourself the question is certainly a key to success in sales.<\/p>\n<p>For more funny sales stories like Geiszler&#8217;s check out:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/john-brandon\/8-funny-sales-stories-for-national-salesperson-day.html\">https:\/\/www.inc.com\/john-brandon\/8-funny-sales-stories-for-national-salesperson-day.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/tse1.mm.bing.net\/th?id=OIP.K4ygQo0H3SbKYsSIkl1F4gHaEK&amp;pid=Api&amp;P=0&amp;w=305&amp;h=172\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hans Geiszler, the founder of Japhy Surf Co., originally a board short company, was given the opportunity to present him and his company to an investor panel in New York on TV, similar to Shark Tank.
