I once sat through an "interview" like this when I was about 19. About halfway in I got up and walked out. The guy seemed surprised and told me, in front of the other interviewees, to enjoy my time at McDonalds. I was trying to leave quietly, but instead I turned around and told the group that this wasn't an interview, it was a mass hiring, and they were being pitched. Wonder how many lasted more than a week? Not sure how I knew it was a scam at that age, but I was absolutely correct.
I worked at the same boiler room as one of the writers of this movie. We both got this same speech almost word for word. Same with the on the floor training like, "Never pitch the bitch." Movie was so dead on for the experience. The scam was different, but the whole atmosphere was right. This movie should be required viewing for anyone wanting to deal with brokers from a cold call.
@@ppstorm_ I don't think you have any idea how many boiler rooms there were in the 90's. Thousands of them all across the country. It was common for many young men to work at these places back then. I am originally from New York and personally knew a few friends that worked at different firms.
@@ppstorm_nobody cares what you're saying any more or less than what the other comment said. when someone challenges you in a comment on youtube and you feel the need to justify yourself, that feeling is realisation setting in.
He was also starting with a simple reaction test to see who he could weed out. Fortunately, the test caught one and he quickly used it as an object lesson.
Affleck does well with this tricky monologue. He’s not just giving a douchy, cocksure motivational speech, he’s playing a douchy, cocksure dude who’s watched Glengarry Glenn Ross a million times and is ripping off the beats of that speech, in a less creative way
I like Affleck. I'm not sure why. A decent actor he is not though. Whole monologue was mediocre at best. Only reason you get fired up is because of the movie and Ribisi who is a mch better actor, though he hasn't shown it much. Perhaps in only a handful of movies he's done.
This is just like the sales pitch we got for Cutco kitchen ware. The hiring managers entire speech depended on us wanting to go to the annual year end top sales party in Vegas. He promised us cash, girls and other things he cant not mention cause its vegas.
Unfortunately, a lot of Cutco "managers" are early 20s, and have no idea what real success looks like. I worked 3 years for Cutco around 20 years ago. I had an amazing manager who taught me the sales skills I needed in my next business. I didn't become a millionaire selling Cutco, almost no one does. However, Cutco gave me the skills I needed to become a millionaire in the financial services business I started after Cutco.
@seizetheday2890 honestly I loved their knives and my favorite are the scissors. The manager we had at the time was real young guy probably like 21 and got a branch of his own for hitting high numbers.
I went through the whole procedure of such a company. First the "group interviews" then more one on one. After 2 weeks of back and forth it dawned me that the company needed new recruits to get their friends and families to become clients. I fucked off luckily before embarrassing myself by bringing along a bunch of acquaintances
@@karoliskevalas752 no it never came to that. It was however crazy that they wanted me to bring friends and family as clients. Oh and all of this without a contract. The contract wouod be signed in 2-4 months depending onhow many clients i brjng
Yep. That broker would have seen what was up right away. The new ones were taught only what they needed to know to pass the series 7 not the intricacies of securities regulations and how illegal their activities were.
Very possible. I think there are definitely jobs out there where you work your butt off would would be a millionaire within 3 years. The key is they make it hard to tell if they push so hard because they need a constant churn of new blood(i.e. a glorified pyramid scheme) or they really are that good.
Well the line about his smile was obviously a joke. All he had and he was still a miserable twatbag. You never see romanticized stories of small town farmers/Carpenters/fulltime van campers/adventurist/ etc quitting their jobs to become stock brokers.

@@mattm7798 He spoke the truth about himself.....but you should watch the movie. It's an interesting movie. Margin Call was another low key movie underrated movie.
They tell you the same shit when you go to a Kirby vacuum presentation. When I realised who they were I was out the door before others had even sat down.
Same here. The Ben Affleck character in my interview told everyone we needed to pay $500 for “training” and had to relocate to another state if required. I laughed and walked out. As I left, I could hear the guy telling everyone else not to be as dumb as the guy that just left.
Maybe it was my upbringing, I've always been told to be suspicious of authorities and their motives, so I've been lucky enough to not get lured into those kinds of businesses.
What would be the point of even saying it at all. There simply isn't any in their logic. If they breathe, they should sell (bogus) stock. Someone who gets personal at that early point is not focussed and not interested in things running smoothly either.
@@udirt Or, it’s just really bad writing that isn’t remotely realistic to happen for sitting in a random open chair before a guy you’ve never met walks in for it.

The indoctrination to fight and die for the Reich aside (honestly, every nation's boys should be inspired to struggle for its survival), the boys learned self- and collective-discipline, duty, hygiene, valor, teamsmanship, sportsmanship, athletic improvement, civic labor, and overall toughness (they'd get the boys into groups and just let them have at one another like a giant brawl and you'd be applauded for holding their own and taking scars, bumps, and bruises).

I knew a guy who once worked for Grant Cardone. His "firm" is full of young grads who they groom to be boiler room salespeople. Yep, Cardone makes his money pushing expensive courses and "real estate investments" that are basically scams.
it is a weird thing to hear and the reason why you don't hear it all that often is.... Millionaires, When they become a Millionaire do not broadcast it, it just doesn't make sense to do that. Like that, italian leather chair line or the car key line Millionaire's don't do that and there are different kinds of Millionaires, You have your dickheads, who other Millionaires agree they are dickheads, You have your down to earth one's and you have the one's that still live like they are making $500 per week, and then you have your absolute tight arses (that defeat the point of having wealth) But yeah, Millionaires will usually not admit they are so
I was only able to honestly tell a few friends bc I knew they’d support me. Most others were either insecure or talking shit behind my back bc they were jealous. Other than that no one knows when they meet me.
@@Davidsworldtravels yeah you tell a few friends sometimes, but cautiously because money has a funny way of making your friends not your friends and yeah jealousy is a big part of it
people make money by making videos talking about how to make money. then they get moneya from ads and selling products scams. most crypto guys dont make money from crypto but talking about crypto and luring people in that wanna make buck
@@Dualities I was actually talking about people who made their wealth before the internet or off the internet without the use of scams. my point really was (and i've gone through this myself) as you get to your first million or even hundred thousand you start to realize that you are now in a position unlike other people. you also start to realize that some people (not all) that were your friends, even though are still your friends are jealous it's not totally personal , it's more like... there is a frustration inside of them , where they want to get on top of their bills and what not, Now... you try and help them (take in my case.. i started a business, Normal business not online) and i tried to help my mate out to do the same so he could also get hundreds and thousands of dollars and work to a million BUT HE COULDN'T DO IT, Not everyone can do it, thats the problem. so you learn after a while to just keep quiet about it and after a while people just perceive you as they CHOOSE TO PERCEIVE YOU some people see you as having more money other people don't realize and they see you as being broke or just getting by. and that's probably the best way to be because it's no one's business how much money they have or i have , and when you speak to someone it's not about money it's just about talking to another person but you can always tell a wealthy client of mine from a poor one because of their mannerism's and outlook on life the wealthier one's don't think that life is over and everything is shit and they usually have a different approach to problems and how they speak but yeah, they usually don't broadcast how much money they have FUN LITTLE FACT Most people that poor people see as being rich, Realistically in their bank account at any time have around $30,000 - $40,000 the level below that is when they have $5,000 saved (that's all it really takes to step up a little) then you have your lawyers and things, you would think they have millions they don't, they generally have a bank account balance of between $100,000 - $300,000 When i learned this, i found this very interesting then you have people who have in excess of 1 Million so as you can see.. it doesn't fucking matter how much they have because a person who has $30,000 can come off as a millionaire anyway

The guy who was sitting in Ben's seat, is he Brendan from the Sopranos?
Can’t tell, but it looks like him. Haven’t checked but it’s probably an uncredited role so it’s hard to verify
No. Looks nothing like him.
No
@@leedixon9832 Looks "nothing" like him? Don't quit your day job, exaggeration isn't your strong suit.
I could see JT Marlin pushing Webistics.
Not sure if I'm interested in that

NOTICE.................
I was silent and didn't reply
The Alec Baldwin - Glengarry Glenn Ross vibes are strong in this scene.
Yea especially when he says, "you think I'm joking with you. I am not joking with you. Same intonation and cadence without the f-bomb
You're supposed to notice that and notice it is the bargain basement version.
if someone tells me im gonna make 1million in 3 years i will leave as soon as he said it. If something sounds too good to be true, 99.99% of the time it usually is
Glengary Glenross + Wolf Of Wall Street
RIP
Somebody saw Glengary Glenross :)
I knew a guy who once worked for Grant Cardone. His "firm" is full of young grads who they groom to be boiler room salespeople. Yep, Cardone makes his money pushing expensive courses and "real estate investments" that are basically scams.
I like the part where he says the F-word.
His house was empty as shit lol
Bruce Wayne for yah

OH is a piker
sounds like my old recruiters speech to new poolies about making it to the meets lmfao
Lady's and gentlemen Ben Affleck
it is a weird thing to hear
and the reason why you don't hear it all that often is....
Millionaires, When they become a Millionaire do not broadcast it, it just doesn't make sense to do that.
Like that, italian leather chair line or the car key line
Millionaire's don't do that
and there are different kinds of Millionaires, You have your dickheads, who other Millionaires agree they are dickheads, You have your down to earth one's and you have the one's that still live like they are making $500 per week, and then you have your absolute tight arses (that defeat the point of having wealth)
But yeah, Millionaires will usually not admit they are so
As they say in my superficial, keeping up with the Jones' town, "there's alot of $30,000 Millionaires."
I was only able to honestly tell a few friends bc I knew they’d support me. Most others were either insecure or talking shit behind my back bc they were jealous. Other than that no one knows when they meet me.
@@Davidsworldtravels
yeah you tell a few friends sometimes, but cautiously because money has a funny way of making your friends not your friends
and yeah jealousy is a big part of it
people make money by making videos talking about how to make money. then they get moneya from ads and selling products scams. most crypto guys dont make money from crypto but talking about crypto and luring people in that wanna make buck
@@Dualities
I was actually talking about people who made their wealth before the internet or off the internet without the use of scams.
my point really was (and i've gone through this myself)
as you get to your first million or even hundred thousand you start to realize that you are now in a position unlike other people.
you also start to realize that some people (not all) that were your friends, even though are still your friends are jealous
it's not totally personal , it's more like... there is a frustration inside of them , where they want to get on top of their bills and what not, Now... you try and help them (take in my case.. i started a business, Normal business not online) and i tried to help my mate out to do the same so he could also get hundreds and thousands of dollars and work to a million
BUT HE COULDN'T DO IT, Not everyone can do it, thats the problem.
so you learn after a while to just keep quiet about it and after a while people just perceive you as they CHOOSE TO PERCEIVE YOU
some people see you as having more money
other people don't realize and they see you as being broke or just getting by.
and that's probably the best way to be because it's no one's business how much money they have or i have , and when you speak to someone it's not about money it's just about talking to another person
but you can always tell a wealthy client of mine from a poor one because of their mannerism's and outlook on life
the wealthier one's don't think that life is over and everything is shit
and they usually have a different approach to problems and how they speak
but yeah, they usually don't broadcast how much money they have
FUN LITTLE FACT
Most people that poor people see as being rich, Realistically in their bank account at any time have around $30,000 - $40,000
the level below that is when they have $5,000 saved
(that's all it really takes to step up a little)
then you have your lawyers and things, you would think they have millions
they don't, they generally have a bank account balance of between
$100,000 - $300,000
When i learned this, i found this very interesting
then you have people who have in excess of 1 Million
so as you can see.. it doesn't fucking matter how much they have because a person who has $30,000 can come off as a millionaire anyway
Bernie Madoff
No. This is 100% based on Jordan Belfort.
Bernie paid of investors with money from other investors. These guys are selling garbage to suckers.
