2:20 this dialogue is great, I would use the same tone when I used to work sales on the phone. Like the "Aw shucks.. OH you mean you want so and so but marked down 10 percent? I mean, I dunno that might be difficult.. let me talk to somebody" Then I would just twiddle my thumbs for a few minutes and come back with an 'approval'.

$3700 in the early sixties would be around 31k today. I worked in the "home improvement" business for ten years, though when I came along it was vinyl siding, but the salesmen were about the same. Richard Dryfuss character, check (sales manager), Danny Devito character, check (owner), John Mahoney character, check (the grizzled old pro who started before WWII selling lightning rods), Peter Boyle character, check. Bruno Kirby, check. Etc etc... The question is, which film is a better representation of the concept of the in home one call closer? Tinmen or Glengarry Glenn Ross. And who would have a better shot of closing you? Pacino in Glen Garry or Mahoney.

I was a manager in the pest control industry, and we were once told to watch Glengary Glen Ross. Unless you lived it you cannot appreciate how real that movie was. The whole thing requires a slow hardening of the soul until you do not care what you sell to who, as long as they sign on the line that is dotted. It really makes you way sharper to how the world is.

The only problem I have with the movie, was that most straight commission sales guys, would have told Blake (Alec Baldwin), to shove his car, watch, and arrogance, up his ass. Then they would go to work for the competition. It's the salary + plus commission sales jobs, that's where you see most of the drama. The losers try to stay on as long as they can, at any cost, just to keep their base pay. I have been a sales professional since 1989. I have seen it, and even done it, in my earliest years. Today, I am still a proud, successful, professional salesman. I'm still doin' it, baby.
