Get It
Should be every sales organizations beginning presentation to break in new salesmen! You have got to watch this DVD. Not only is it filled with "the don't give up attitude"! but it is hilariously entertaining. If you haven't seen it - GET IT!

You can enjoy this movie even if you're not a "closer"!
Ever wonder what really goes on at the office of whom you bought your last piece of real-estate from? Well, maybe this movie doesn't describe exactly what goes on in every office, but it's very entertaining, never the less! With a star-studded, Oscar winning cast including Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey and Alec Baldwin (In a role created specifically for him), this film delivers top-notch performances that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who watches this movie. I would pay 5 times the price I paid for this film strictly for the masterful scene in which Alec Baldwin "motivates" his sales force to close questionable real-estate deals in a poor, early 90's economy.

This is not one of those action-packed, blockbuster movies that get lots of attention, but if it's pure genious in dialogue executed by some of the best filmmakers in Hollywood you want, this is truly the movie you want to see! Do likewise, and watch this film!

If you are in Business see this one
This is an insightful movie into what motivates in a sales environment. Baldwin coming in with a sales contest after Jack Lemmon was such a successful sales employee for so many years. It developed the 'what have you done for me lately' syndrome in business.

What you wonder is there any opportunity for someone who has been a successful sales person in his or her career and who has brought in business and more than paid for him/herself, then, because of short term thinking, loses his job.

Lemmon suddenly becomes a washout, you feel the desparation of him and the bad feelings of his associates as his career implodes.

Akin to the reengineering of American business and the increase in production required in the postal system, you feel the effect on all involved. Baldwin is akin to the college educated drivers who push postal service employees to do more and more in a mundane environment. A bit surreal, the movie shows the heartlessness of business. It is just that, business, no feeling, no heart.

The movie reminds me of survivor, where only one person leaves the office. Yet, what happens each month thereafter? You are left wondering what happens next.

You wonder, what things should be done in a sales environment such as this for the employees to achieve success. This movie is pre-internet, so things are slightly different today.

One thing about this movie, it is relevant in todays economic climate. Do people matter when it comes to business? Eventually the law of diminishing returns will come to haunt us as a people as we continue to export jobs for the sake of business. Eventually, you would think, who will be there to buy what is made overseas? Of course, India, China and Russia, where the jobs are going. Let's have a sales contest.
