Hey, Scott from The Sales Mastermind here. Today’s edition only takes 1 minute to read... and a little longer to watch the clips.


Sales can be a rough profession. You have to go against your childhood programming, biological nature, and ego. That's exhausting.

This week, take a second to watch a clip or two about sales from scripted films and TV series.

These clips are great to bookmark when you need a pick-me-up.

"Coffee is for Closers" - 7 minutes

Every seller knows this speech. It inspired so many sales memes and quotes

Alec Baldwin, Glengarry Glen Ross

"Wait a minute, wait, that's your pitch?" - 2 minutes

Call coaching from a prospect will be ruthless and invaluable.

Giovanni Ribisi, Boiler Room

"There is definitely some interest..." - 8 minutes

Ignore the rejections. Keep going until you find the buyers who want what you are selling.

Ryan Gosling, Pitch to Front Point Partners

"One inch at a time" - 4 minutes

When you've had a rough start to the day.

Al Pacino, Any Given Sunday

People buy the stories and emotions, not products.

Jon Hamm, Mad Men

BONUS: Getting the links for this email from YouTube, I came to this gem - watch Alec Baldwin Glengarry Glen Ross first.

Until next week,

Scott Cowley
