The market for shoes

Aaron told me this little gem about opportunity.

Two shoe salespeople both go to remote villages in India to investigate whether they should create an office there. When they arrive they both see that nobody in the villages they visited wears shoes. On returning to their companies one salesman tells their boss - There is no market for shoes in India because nobody wears shoes. The other tells their boss - The market for shoes in India is unlimited - nobody has them yet.
