ABC, AIDA, Coffee is for Closers, and other memorable thoughts
Glengarry Glen Ross is an excellent movie, and a surprisingly exceptional performance by Alec Baldwin, who is the newbie in the movie. So too, and I can't believe I am going to say this, is Ben Affleck, in the post-jump clips, and yes, a awesome dose of Robbins.
Always Be Closing.
Another video or two after the jump.
(Continued after the Jump)
Here, Ben Affleck kicks out Schleprock, Skippy, and admonishes, "don't be a piker."
Affleck, on closing - "You have to be closing all the time...if you can't learn how to close, you better be thinking about another career."
He then goes on....
"There is no such thing as a 'no sale call'. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock, or he sells you on a reason he can't. Either way, a sale is made. The only question is, who's going to close - you or him."
Note that Boiler Room isn't the best example of how to run a business, but the message points - and the delivery, make it worth a watch.
Lastly, is An amazing 22 minutes from TED, with Tony Robbins. Don't laugh, just watch!

I know that YouTube allows uses like this of it's contents, but it seems to me that they are still having a very hard time with copyright issues. For instance; these clips. We all know that this was not an original work produced by the submitter and the probability it was properly licensed are slim to none. Isn't YouTube publishing this from a legal standpoint? Or do they somehow claim that the person who submitted it is the publisher and therefor the one legally liable. Furthermore, are you John also publishing this un-licensed work on your website by using the embedded player?
Chad -
Thanks for the note. This is chopping waters, to be sure. the broadcaster is YouTube, and I have a "hole" open for their content to be played - it's being played and the video housed on their servers, and streamed to you via them.
Since YouTube and all the studios have been back and forth on this, and many studios have called for wholesale deletion of their copyrighted material, the fact that these are still there, suggests to me that the studio wants these up as a form of guerilla marketing for these now aged-out films, and they've been up for some time. I can't be sure, and YouTube is certainly cleaning up their act (at the demand of the copyright holders, no doubt), so if these videos go dark, I'll see that as an indicator that YouTube was in the wrong.

ABC - classic scene...
