This week's poll question is inspired by the fact that my dad, Rod, on two separate occasions held sales meetings in which he showed the 1990 film Crazy People.
So here's the question:
If you were going to show one movie for a sales meeting, which movie would you pick – and why?
Although some may be offended by the language, the Alec Baldwin scene in "Glen Gary Glen Ross" is still hard hitting. "Tommy Boy" has some great scenes on closing business. A movie I believe called "Meat Men" starring Ray Romano and Kevin James is a great sales person movie. I know the question was asking for one movie so the most recent movie "The Goods", although related to car sales has some great scenes of salesmanship and quite funny too.
Field of Dreams! "If you build it, they will come!"- I think believing that something can be better is a big mindset.
It would be that or "The Rookie" with Dennis Quaid. That movie really touched me in that it is NEVER too late to pursue your dreams even though people don't understand at first that you can do it. If you have the confidence to put yourself out there, others will follow.
