If you teach a man to fish...

This saying is something I read awhile back in the forum (the lesson at the end is my observation):

It is said that, if you give a man to fish, he will be hungry tomorrow. But, if you teach him to fish...

Well, the relevant way to express this statement, if you are selling is:
It is said that, if you give a man to fish, he will be hungry tomorrow. If you teach a man to fish, he will then realize he needs a rod, some lure, a boat, training, and cleaning equipment, which you then can sell to him.

The meaning of this line here is that, if you education customers to why the need something, you create a demand for what you are trying to sell.
