One of my favorite movies of all time. All the sales students in the business building at my university loved this movie. We would watch it before big presentations. Great Job Ben
I was a commission-only salesman for a while, and we got speeches like this every day. But there's no guarantee anywhere. No high-pressure salesman ever pulled one on me.
High pressure sales tatics use to work in the 80s and 90s when information wasn't readily available. Now with the internet and mass information, sales are built on trust, accurate information, and presentability. Imagine if they could have googled Aerotyne back in the day.
@@noone4271 I agree. But still, you're not going to close the deal if the mark doesn't want it, or if the idea of spending thousands of dollars scares him away.
@@MondoBeno Correct. I cant stand these fuckhead salesmen who say they can close a sale on absolutely Anyone. A Good lead Must be Qualified before making statements like that........Even then if the lead has been cold called it is still up in the air.

Lol Well, in fairness....you would never end up on their call list anyways. They target ppl who clear 6 figures. Ppl with loose money to throw at dumb market ventures.
i think he is referring to middle aged people with families that work career jobs. obviously people that are 4-50 years old have been working career jobs for years and have money saved up. obviously an 18-20 year old probably would not have that kind of money.
This movie is about the J Moran scam that happened back in the late 80s. They are not ripping off Glen Garry Glenn Ross. It's a sales movies, there are more out there, this one just happens to be about the stock rip offs performed by J Moran.

You wasted my time, you wasted others who also read this quotes time, and mainly you wasted Jim mother fucken Young’s time !! He specifically asked you to not waste his fucking time !
Ha! Check out Seth's suit and demeanor at this point in the film. He's all dressed in black (evil), detached from his under-achieving peers and entirely entrenched into the game of making REAL money, no matter who he fucks over in the process! Of course, further on, he realizes he has fallen into the ABYSS, doesn't like what he sees on the other side of the mirror, recaptures his humanity and DOES something about it before the cops (as usual) come rolling in at the last minute! Nonetheless, it's an interesting trip to witness, not unlike the film-based journeys of Bud Fox (Wall Street), Ebenezer Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) and Charlie Babbitt (Rain Man). Great films reminding me that there may actually be HOPE for humanity! *** Boiler Room = Two Thumbs Up! *** LL
Always Be Closing...the mantra of salespeople everywhere. Been there, done that. I never sold anyone anything they didn't want or more perceptively, need, after I educated them.
Baldwin's speech isn't supposed to be about calling only, it's about closing in general. He wasn't talking to some 18 year old kids, he was talking to a guy as old as probably 70 years old. They needed to be motivated by attitude, not phone calling techniques.
Bascially just being persistent & relentless & being in the right place at the right time....And networking. Getting in is 1 thing, staying in/surviving is the next challenge. I have a degree & have worked 4 a str8 brokerage firm, 4 a major bank, & as a financial advisor...I now work at a casino & I love it!!!! Networking with people in the biz is prolly the best route 2 getting in
It's a post-Glengarry film, not a ripoff. They also view Wall Street but aren't copying it; these are the films ABOUT their business, and they exist within this story.

You May be right - someone else pointed out that Seth begins to wear more black - as he progresses showing the route he’s going. He now solely as the devil on his shoulder but no Angel to balance it out - so Seth will continue his descent down the wrong path
Afflecks character presents a better idea of how to sell and more useful types of ways to close...Baldwin just swears and breaks the guys down...everyone knows ABC but he doesn't give the old balls a clue about how to do it. if you've ever made a sales call you know afflecks speech is way more applicable than baldwins
A guy called me trying to sell me season tickets today...I said I have to talk to my wife...he said "I always have to call my wife too". I'll email you the info....I'm not even married, he should have tried harder. I guess he never saw this movie.
Mar702 One leggers are hard to close, best not put in the effort and move on. Especially in a telemarking firm, where its a numbers game Key thing is, why did you lie? Why don’t tell him you’re not interested or just plain “no”. Its says more about your character than his.
I think the high pressure sales tactic worked on me a grand total of one time, and that was at a time when I was very depressed and susceptible to this kind of shit. (it was for self help books and courses!) But the smoke screen of shit was easy to see through very quickly. Always do research before buying anything, especially a thing you're not familiar with.
Yeah those kinds of tactics don't work as much anymore. But now fkn scammers just try to scare the shit out of you to get you to do shit. They are the new high pressure sales fkers in the world.
This isn't trying to be glen garry glen ross, why not just appreciate it, its a good and fun sales film that will build a good emotion to any sales consultant....
Not sure why ppl keep comparing the two films....outside of the Baldwin "motivational speech". And even then....not the same. Baldwins character is just there to try and force low yielding salemen to quit. Aflecks character is trying to hand down some insight to the green guys to improve their success rate. Technically both motivational, but only one is truly interested in seeing his audience flourish.
My wife sold major appliances for a major retailer. She told me a customer came in for a microwave, she sold the microwave and a complete Samsung kitchen. That was impressive.
I hate sales departments. For the vast majority of business (other than like.. insurance) they're absolutely fucking useless. The way they pressure and weasel people only to fuck them over doesn't do anything to build brand trust. Have someone who's actually made or knows the product and is truly passionate about it sell it. Not some asshole who has no other fucking talent in life other than bullshitting people. You can get a lot more done with a handful of professionals who actually know the product rather than a department 10 times as big being paid jack shit and nothing for a base salary and feel like they have to lie and cheat clients in order to make a sale just to pay the rent.
This is one of the most inspirational scenes I've watched in the history of movies pertaining to sales. I've closed many sales after watching this scene. Truly motivational.
I lived this nonsense! I worked for one of the biggest chop houses on Wall St. A lot of illegal shit went on there! Most of that firm is behind bars today!
I remember when this movie came out and thinking the Ben Affleck’s days as a Hollywood A lister were over for taking a small role in a movie…boy was i wrong.
Sorry for the late reply. To clarify, I'm not saying that this quote contains the most wisdom. And, I'll concede that is probably not the most frequently quoted line, especially in sales environments. All I am saying is that you try it out once when concluding a 'serious' point, particularly in the presence of friends familiar with the scene. Make sure to include the hand gesture, as it's critical to capturing the Affleck acting moment. You might find that it feels pretty good. payce.
...I don't think the people that are praising this speech have seen the movie...the alternate ending shows a distraught investor walking into the firm with a weapon...this stuff is real, playing with people's money is not a game, this movie is a testament to the devastating end of a lifestyle hedonistic at the expense of everyone around you. It is not a motivational movie. This movie is boils it's characters alive...it is not motivational.
How would it work if these guys called someone but the person said, “sure I will buy some stock, get me 10 shares of Google” instead of whatever bs penny stock these guys are pushing.

LOL. 30-40% returns. I haven't seen this movie, but a guy like this is making money off of commissions from other peoples work and not from his extraordinary sales skills he is trying to convince everyone in that room that he has. If he had that level of skills he never would have left sales. I mean, "the sky is the limit", right, when you you can close every call?
GOOGL is worth about that, but they're about to do a stock split. and I think he meant $2500 worth of stock, which in the penny stock world could be tens of thousands of shares.
