He made me not believe in happiness and sold me napalms
Don's "no" essentially acts as a call back to the entire point he was making about the power of choice; namely, a woman's power to choose. "No" is a very powerful word. Brilliant scene.
The abillity to say a firm « no», is the difference of haveing self respect, good mental health, identity. And of beeing a pushover with zero backbone or character. « No» is the most powerfull word in the dictionary. Iearning to say no can litteraly save a persons life
@@artistryartistry7239 As a creative, I've sold a handful of ideas to clients that knew what they wanted but needed a push. There's some truth to this.
"I'd rather be a slave to Don Draper than work for some old man" I think part of why Ken says this is after witnessing this. The guy may be a tad dysfunctional and a slight drunk, but you can't watch him and not see a man with a vision and the guts to see it happen
Good television is when a writer has something to offer the viewer. All that is ultimately is another angle on how to see life, how to look at a problem, and the character's courage to solve it. That's what makes it worthy watching. We are wired for a journey to solve problems and we watch others doing it. That's a hit show.
Yeah mean and women do this to each other (in this case, more women although men are equally bad in other areas). I think the true owner should show proof that he/she owned the property or business or other assets BEFORE the marriage. As for Alimony, imo the higher paid person should pay ONLY if the other is struggling after the divorce e.g. no job and is given time to get their shit together. Over here we dont have Alimony but we usually the ex husband or wife gives some money for a certain time, in which the other partner has to get a job or find someone who they can depend upon.
There is a logic to this. Too many choices can overwhelm the average person. It's why brand loyalty exists and it's why corridor shooters outsell RTS (real-time strategy) games. The average person is terrible at making decisions so they let "leaders" make them. (Of course it's an entirely new discussion whether most of those leaders are any good at making decisions.)
it's also why, despite people loving the theoretical option of being able to choose out of millions of songs (for example on spotify), most people will end up listening to their usual favorites anyway. (or people being overwhelmed with the choices on video streaming service that instead of watching something new they much rather rewatch a show they already know)
“Listen im not here to tell you about Jesus... either he lives in your heart or he doesn’t.” The facial reactions of everyone in the room plus that great line make this scene so good. I miss this show.
I think what some people miss out on with this scene is why Don does it. This scene comes after Don gets a sizable bonus, so he feels extra confident and bulletproof.
Made me remember something. At 45, now 55, went on a year long fitness push. Sub 6 min mile, body weight workout, 4 sets of 15 chin up's were a part of it for example. So pretty up there. Was breathing rare air. My confidence shot through the roof. Walked around like a Lion. Peeps noticed, tons of comments and positive attention. Was crazy difficult to achieve and even harder to maintain. Lasted a tic over a year. Want to give it another shot....
@@colin-campbell We also don't need any more guys who try to look like a goddamn intellectual in Mad Men youtube videos' comments section yet here we fucking are
I watched this series 3 times. I worked for an advertising agency and this drama series is as close as you'll get as far as accuracy about the going on's in an agency.
My brother studied publicity, etc and he said that as far as he got to experience, the hierarchy and the sales pitches are totally on point with what you'd see in an ad agency.
This is called the "take away" and it has to be used very carefully and very selectively. Draper is an absolute pro and knew that this guy was just going to waste his time. I've used this technique on customers in the mortgage industry, but it was rare and with people who simply wouldn't move and thinking that they knew better then the expert they enlisted.
He was going over the top of the client's objection that Draper was asking them to change their whole business. He made the objection absurd by saying "Look, I'm not trying to change your religious beliefs," just trying to get you to think about your product in a different way.
"Listen, I'm not here to tell you about Jesus. You already know about Jesus, either he exists in your heart, or he doesn't." And that's when Freddy Rumsen began pissing in his pants.
@@laxel01 it’s another way of calling them a “non-believer” while at the same time to me it’s very telling of how Don thinks about Jesus Christ. He knows believing in Jesus is all or nothing.
There’s a really powerful lesson in this. If your product or service is effective, and has a proven track record of being effective, constantly selling to skeptics is a waste of your time. Let the ones with vision and comprehension benefit from what you offer and let the fools who don’t walk away to their own detriment
Good sales tactic. He created an environment where the client listens and does what they are told by showing the client that they are not needed and in fact should feel privileged that they were accepted as a client in the first place.
In general, this is true for products that don't differ from competitors by a whole lot. Don't push the product, the product's the same. Create a cool angle that people remember when they're in the aisle (or Amazon search results page) and picking from the zillion choices available.
I don’t understand the two sides: the old guy who questions the presenters - he seems to want to have sat 1 or 5 or some limited number of colors. And what exactly are Don and friends proposing? Customizing the color for each customer from raw shades?
The guys selling the lipstick released a collection of lipstick that includes dozens of different colours for women to choose from. And they've advertised that side of it. They're marketing the set's variety by showcasing the collection in it's entirety. Don is preposing that instead of advertising all of the lipsticks at once in a single ad, they use multiple different ads, and in each one highlight a different shade. The sale being that, "you have tons of colours to choose from, and from that diverse collection you can find the one that suits you perfectly". Rather than just "Hey look at how many colours we have!".
Nah, it's brilliant psychology. The instinct is to not trust anything a salesman says... This is a variation of the "maybe this isn't for you" close. You take it away and make them convince themselves. The natural instinct is: Salesman says "buy" customer says no... Salesman says "don't buy" and again the customer says no and starts telling you why they should. . This obviously doesn't work in all situations but it absolutely does when you have a customer that's being difficult. Basic reverse psychology.
There's a lot that Don Draper does that doesn't seem like it would work but in his mouth it does. There's a later season when he tells a subordinate about how he botched a sales pitch and then apologized by saying it was all their fault. Everyone laugh's and he wins them over. The guy tries the same thing and he's instantly hated because well, he's no Don Draper
He was an alcoholic all the time until he was fired. It just was more subtle. I've just started to re-watch the show. Even in one of the first episodes, Don is late for something because he had to carry Freddie out of a bar, and people roll their eyes as if this was a regular occurence.
can someone explain to me the part where he says "i'm not here to tell you about jesus. you already know about jesus. either he lives in your heart or he doesn't"
Eamonn S It's a metaphor. He's basically saying that if you are already closed off to hearing something, there's no sense in wasting time trying to convince you otherwise.
It is a metaphor. It means you are either a believer or not. Also a great tool to get attention when pitching. This video is a master class of a push pull pitch. Enough novelty and tension to keep the people's attention.
Take away closing technique perfected to an art. It takes brass balls to pull one of these in front of a Big Decision Maker, in a conference room, in front of everyone. The best about it, it is being used so subtle, you can’t almost detect it. If anyone here remembers, Don Draper’s character used to be a sales clerk at the furr store. Before cajoling his future boss to hire him at the ad agency. He ain’t an Art Director, a mere title. . His underlings are account executives , or those ones reeling in the big fish. Don is the closer. Here is a scene where the closer is at his best.
My clients have all seen me do a Draper at one point in our relationship... If you don't have self belief you won't last long in this game. Whilst it looks heroic and glamourous on the big screen in reality it usually rubs many the wrong way and perceived as cocky. It might be easier to agree with the wrong and it might even be profitable to do as you are told in spite of your views. This has challenged me at times but I am not a "yes" man and never will be. Its not easy being me!!! Ha.

"You're a non-believer, why should we waste time on kabuki?"

and glamourous on the big screen in reality it usually rubs many the wrong way and perceived as cocky. It might be easier to agree with the wrong and it might even be profitable to do as you are told in spite of your views. This has challenged me at times
but I am not a "yes" man and never will be. Its not easy being me!!! Ha.
I love the look on Teddy and Kenny's face when Don lays down the law. LOL
American badass.
Kenny at 1:27. Kenny had his lines too. "What time is it? What time isn't it?
Oy vey Don could sell a bagel with lox to a semite
He could sell ketchup popsicles to a woman wearing white gloves
The man could sell sand to an arab
