Omg lol there are only 4 aside from mine haha
0000000000000000000000000000
😅
I love how he understands social cues perfectly during a sale but he doesn’t understand anything in any other area of his life
A true american
@@sunshine-ie7gq Nice. A bit undignified, but nice.
@@sunshine-ie7gq😂
It makes sense, he insecure about being left for somebody else, so he would make a good salesman who does what it takes to maintain relationships.
i think it's coz he's his authentic self with coworkers, but with clients, he's only trying to make a sale.
In a weirdly wholesome twist, Michael only acts silly at the office coz he sees his employees as trusted family/friends.
Never underestimate Michael… Always Estimate him. 😤
On baby nem 😈😤💪
I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious...
@@Rakerong no, it was written perfectly. Michael thought that underestimating is below the bar and that estimating him accurately is the proper thing to do.
@@Rakerong literally exactly what Micheal would say
@@TexasFoldEm- on baby nem😂😂😂u got the wrong video to be posting sum like that on
Michael's rule of salesmanship: *make friends first.*
My boss thought me relationship/friendship is number one in Sales
Works everytime !
Make love second. In no particular order
@@francisjohnston8014 😂😂😂
ㅎㅇ
Make new friends, tie some yarn
I LOVE the look on Jan's face when she suddenly realizes that he's making a business play and has been this whole time. Never underestimate Michael Scott.
Never underestimate Michael. Always estimate him
Maybe next time you’ll estimate him, Jan !
And he shushes her when she's about to pitch in, knowing the guy is about to reel himself in.
Her 🐱 was on aqua 😂
I mean, he chose Chillis because he knew the client was down to earth, and looking to make cuts - it allowed him to present a sympathetic, folksy vibe. The entire thing was 5D chess. He's even pretending to be tipsy near the end - notice how he snaps in and out of his "drunkenness" to stop Jan, when she's making a mistake?
Honestly if Michael was this smooth outside of sales he would be an amazing person. The way he says "Corporate is gonna go ballistic" is smooth af.
He is smooth when he is not overthinking himself, he was making a really good impression with that girl Pam/Jim set him up with until they told him it was a date and then he brought out "Date Mike" lol
@@rohunsaigal2576 exactly. And with Christian, he wasn't really "selling" so much as just hanging out. Also not overthinking - just being friendly and having lunch
@@rohunsaigal2576 THIS.
@@mikeyreza 100% true. Arguably, though, that other sales job _was_ affecting Michael's performance at DM, since it was a night shift. So maybe Ryan had a point, that one time, as much as I hate to admit it.
What an Exaggeragation
Dwight is considered to be the best salesman of Dunder Mifflin, and Micheal bought out his biggest client without shedding a drop of sweat. That should be enough to prove what a legend Micheal Scott is
Dwight learned from Michael
Didnt he said half of scranton's was from him?
I like to think that Dwight had a hand in things by barging in there and rambling on and ending with the misstep of mentioning the gay son. It probably wasn't a good look, but for sure Michael did have tremendously good salesmanship there
And he got salesman of the year two years in a row and dwight only got it once
@@lando6420 but Dwight got salesman of the month 13 times in one year.
Genuinely Michael is rather smart in the first one. Jan constantly talks about how hey provide great personal service and aren’t like the big chains, Jan says it, but Michael proves it
Wow I never thought about it like that
True. Jan _sounds_ like she's selling something. She might be a good executive, but Michael is by far the superior salesman.
@@nthgth yes jan is selling paper but Michael is selling himself
Always start with the personal connection don’t start selling or throwing out offers before that! It’s easy to get into the sales mood which causes distrust between the potential client and salesperson just imagine a scenario where you are buying from a close friend or family member your trusting they won’t screw you over same thing make friends first then soft sell them hard close!
@@nthgth By contrast, Michael is a great salesman, but a terrible manager.
I love how he stops Jan from interrupting because he knows he has struck a chord with the client, sounds like he is just waffling but it's all a big plan
notice how the first time he stops Jan he does this weird really long noise, but the second time when he's about to close it, he does a really subtle and quick "shush" because he's fully in the zone
It’s also because he knows they can’t beat the big chains on price and Jan will stuff the sale if they discuss that, so he changes the subject immediately.
I'm suprised Michael had the social ineptitude to do that instead of yelling a second time
@@rohunsaigal2576 because Jan realized
This was by far a genius tactic !
Michael is a straight savage and when talking business it shows his actual intelligence despite him being well him.
.
(You must have replies at 3K 👍 😂)
He only acts like an idiot to boost team morale but he is truly intelligent.
Add .. after being and a comma after well and change 'him' to capital letters
Green means go, means "go ahead and shut up about it" I just love how Michael's logic work
Yeah lol. I was looking for someone to mention this.
"Most colors mean don't say it" lol.
one of the funniest deliveries
Your head is bald, it is shiny, it is reflective like a mirror, “M” your name is Mark!
Of course, the real genius is that anyone who steals it doesn't realize it's coded to backfire on them 🤣🤣🤣
@@Dxdme1
Or his mnemonic devices
"Pattern, pattern, my friend Pat took a turn"
michael can be a bad boss at times but he can take jim and dwight down without breaking a sweat when he wants to
He got the boss position by being the best salesman so that make sense
@Tyler mmm no there were still others
C'mon! Micheal is the BEST BOSS EVER
@@Twinmeen best BOSS, yes, not necessarily the best MANAGER.
@@abehambinoBut he's not such a bad manager afterall, yet he can be an annoying troublesome boss at times
The underlying joke of the office is that Michael is a fantastic salesman which is why he was able to be promoted to regional manager at age 24. Despite the promotion he's a horrible manager which is very common in corporate where you're promoted to the level you can't advance beyond.
Yes, the Peter principle
But.....Michael Scott iS the World's Best Boss......why.....because business is never about business; business is always about PEOPLE !!!!!
I always liked how they dealt with Michael as a salesman. Anytime he was in charge of a sale, he crushed it, aside for when he had that night time call center job. And it was constantly hinted at that Michael was one of the best salesmen, so it made sense why he was promoted to manager. He just had no idea what he was doing most of the time.
@@ITILII I actually liked Dwight as manager in Season 9. He was much better than Michael.
I wouldn’t say Michael was a horrible manager. We were shown instances where he was actually competent, to say the most, like the moments where Kevin was smart.
Michael negotiation with David always left me satisfied 😌
That's what she said
And smiling
Satisfied and smiling
Thats what he said
Todd Pecker: *proud face
The episode where Michael was negotiating with David Wallace was when I realized just how good of a businessman he is. "I don't need to wait out Dunder Mifflin, I just need to wait out you" that always gets me . They should have included the whole clip where he says his company means nothing to him which is why he doesn't care (or whatever the line was)
He has no shortage of names.
Did you notice stringer bell next to David Wallace?! First for me
@@nachonachoman Yeah his name is Charles Miner in the Office and he’s played by Idris Elba, who also played Stringer Bell in the Wire. Great actor imo.
@@koshea44 I haven't watched the office in a while and I'm always surprised how many people that became famous later are in it. Forgot Jared from silicon valley was Gabe
that episode is more about how good of a guy david is...he paid mike back for not taking raises to help the company raising dwight to carry the legacy and for going against jan his lover for the company saying they never treated him poorly and david realized his mistake finally that he hurt mike personally...david knew mike was broke when he said i just have to wait you out he could of just delayed the inevitable which is to say he could of said no deal and by the end of the week mike would be broke and out of business....but he decided to buy mike out anyways in that moment cause of the desperation in his eyes to show he is a good friend and could hold his end up in the relationship which is good business ethics...it hurt the company which caused the sabre merger but so what he ended up saving it in the end in season 9 anyways so all is forgiven....
Missed the part when Michael refuses the 60k and gets actual jobs for everyone
Bully Maguire: “I missed the part where that’s my problem.” 😅
He knows they deserve more security than that
@@thelonewolf7443 😂😂😂
And the Golden Ticket promotion that made them BCBS of Pennsylvania's exclusive office supplies vendor.
He's the Peter Principle incarnate- promoted to a position hes incompetent in
Where's the part where he sells a million dollars worth of paper? That was the best sale he ever made for Dunder Mifflin.
Yeah, but he had to fire dwight and he didn't do it.
@@katymvt But still convincing someone to buy a million dollars worth of paper just by simply using the sound of your voice is still empressive.
William M. Buttlicker spent all that money buying his parents old house!
@@eggfryedrice His family built America.
Which episode
I love that he remembers the name of all the *insignificant* roles in our everyday life. When I say insignificant I don’t mean unimportant but the majority overlook them: waitress, receptionist, etc. he remembers Megan from Chill’s, Stephanie who is David’s assistant, and sherry who is Jan’s assistant. This tells a lot about Michael.
And Sprinkles!
But doesn’t know his own warehouse workers... Michael is an enigma 😂😭😭
@@Robopercy BROOO THATS TRUE.... 'whats his name?' 'jefferson' 'nope his name is michael', and also calls Madge the 'East german gal' LMFAOOOOO
@@gamerunner28 'sprinkles dead?' 'oh my god...' HAHAH
@@KikiCorallie Doesn't he call her Pudge when they're talking about her being able to use the forklift? 😂😂
"I just have to wait out you" still get chills, he suddenly goes tywin lannister level
Tyrion
Michael played them like a friggin fiddle lol
I still love that Chilli's meeting where he continually takes back control from Alpha Jan. Then tops it off by shushing her and basically telling her to zip it and leave him be. Such a power play. She was speechless. Both parts played so well.
thats why he got her Jans
He was not shushing her that was their code beforehand.
You can see her getting a little attracted to him when she realizes how he got the guy to sell himself.
The most dangerous thing about Michael is how he acts or being an big idiot for like 90% of the time. So when that 10% hits and he gets serious, nobody could see that coming and completely get caught unprepared and baffled at how crazy capable the guy really is.
Michael is a secret genius that really works well. The episode were stanley shouts at Michael, he drops the goofy act. He tells stanley that he wont put up with him disrespecting him in front of everyone. You can see that Stanley was put back in his place and realized michael isn't dumb. There's various instances were he does this.
Oh yeah? That's because he's written to be likeable by everyone. In reality, people like him are generally awkward and difficult to deal with.
@@supremshinde Maybe likable for us watching but the characters found him awkward and difficult to deal with.
What episode was this?
@@swagjita.3869 Did I stutter
@@kpg333 no you didnt
The appeal of Michael as a salesman is that he's (or at least he appears to be) an innocent and wholesome man. He isn't someone you think is capable of lying to you or ripping you off.
It’s not just that you think he won’t it’s that you know he won’t and that he actually won’t. Michael is a good business man but he also will never scam another person
Prince Family Paper...
@@trilink4862 He wasn't selling to them...
@@trilink4862 I’d put that mainly on Dwight because he was the one who convinced Michael to do it, Michael never really wanted to do something like that and he regretted it. Remember when he quit and was looking for a job and we found out that Prince Paper went out of business?
He just stole Dwight’s biggest client
I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge office fan. BUT, when they showed Michael actually being good at his job, I really enjoyed watching the show. Not just them telling us that Michael is a good salesman, but the few times they actually showed it.
watch the scene were he goes to Pam's art showing..
I would give it another chance. Start season 2 and remember its satire
"I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge office fan" What are you????????
I agree. Im not an office fan at all but I do enjoy some parts of it, especially when Michael shows his intelligent and compassionate side.
@@doudoulefol A person with an opinion?
Office is hugely overrated anyway. Parks and Recreation is much better
The Michael Scott Paper Company 6 episode story Arc was great from start to finish. Broke was one of the best The Office episodes ever.❤️
It was JUST six episodes? Man
@@jaxsetbertoncarlism8873 yep - started with New Boss and ended with Broke
The whole season seemed to be about Michael’s strained relationship with the company and him realizing his feelings of betrayal. Mike is a guy that goes 120% for people, especially Dunder Mifflin and this season was the one where he started to realize the loyalty and dedication was only ever one way.
They should've put ryan's 'look at that old man and rolodex go' 🤣
What season?
2:03 Michael mentions the schools & hospitals in the county, he knows how many there are of each.
At the start of this episode(s2 e7), Jan tells him about 13 schools & 2 hospitals under the county while Michael acts like…well, Michael, but he actually listened. He actually is a genius at sales.
"how is your gay son? tom, the uh homosexual sophomore?" has to be one of the best lines in a comedy show ever. Just the way he says it is so robotic XD
Fun fact: when they were making the US version, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Martin told them to make the manager actually good at his job as it is easier to get fired in the US than the UK. it would be less believable that someone awful at their job would still have the position over there.
Stephen merchant, not Martin. Can't edit.
I don't think they did a very good job. Michael is not really bad at his job but he's still not very good
@@kingkazma5937 umm he’s still better than most managers if that says anything about the US market ;)
@@sethl5451 no lol
How hard is it to get fired in the UK?
I know this video is about Michael but Jan's smile at 2:43 is so pure just before she became what she became
That's definitely an arousal smile so I don't know about pure lol. It is a great smile though
She was great before she collapsed in on herself like a dying star.
Pretty but not pure
That smile is " i'mma do you so hard, you brainy man"
Not pure..
my favourite part of micheal is even though he consistently makes what you might call legendary sales, he never really brags about it, he knows and believes in his own natural talent and doesnt feel the need to make everyone else know about it
except that episode when Packer pooped in his office.
the flip side of this was always interesting too, as he gets genuinely pretty upset when he loses sales. the episode where everyone partners up and andy blows his sale with michael always stood out to me.
Just the sound of his voice closes million dollar sales.
Ayo Big mouth season 5 is out now go watch it
Jan’s newfound admiration for Michael in the way she looks and smiles at him when he makes the sale is one of the most satisfying scenes on television. Who doesn’t want someone looking at you like that?
Though she's ultimately still Jan, and a terrible fit for Michael. Holly smiles at Michael from the get go and patiently accepts his foibles. I do however, agree, that everyone wants that kind of love/respect.
Michael being Michael can sometimes make you forget that he became regional manager at 24 for a reason, and that is an unbelievable amount of sales skill
5:52 - the greatest acting performance is the 3 network TV stars pretending that $60,000 is a lot of money
😭😭😭
Lol yea, im sure they got paid more than that per episode.
I’m sure they can remember a time when it was a lot for them
It was back then
That moment where David closes his eyes is the part where he remembers why he put up with Michael's comic unprofessionalism, and why he respected Michael so much
As a former salesman and broker, I think Michael is an outstanding salesman. He puts the needs of the client or customer first above all. This translates to a longer more sustainable relationship of the two businesses.
If you pay close attention to this show, Michael is actually the most loving, genuine guy with occassional strokes of genius especially when he feels supported and included.
Its his insecurity, feeling of always being on the outside and lack of love that makes him act the way he does. Superb writing
2:27 Michael gave her that “hush up I’m about to close this” hand haha
2:40 that flooding smile was me earlier in the scene realizing that Michael was selling by NOT selling. One of the best sales “tactics” I’ve learned was just connecting with the customer as a person then closing when you’ve earned their trust.
Okay , so Caleb was actually a white collar job holder before he turned to cannibalism
THATS WHERE HES FROM NO WONDER HE LOOKED SO FAMILIAR
@@Jenna-mr3us He is also from Chandler's sarcasm 101 skit, if you have watched that !!!
@@karankumbhar7749 just watched!! Thanks for the laugh
Before that he was a principal at a high school.

Michael is the perfect example of why your best salesperson doesn’t always make a good manager.
So is dwight you
You start to realise that Michael chose Chillis because he knew the client was having economic difficulties, that they were looking to make cuts, and that a swanky corporate pitch wasn’t going to work. The entire thing was 5D chess. Michael knew that a down to earth pitch was the best way to convince them that they were sympathetic to their economic problems
Great take
As socially awkward as Michael is he has genuine intrest in people, he wants to be liked because he likes others
It's so sweet and goofy ❤
Jan's approach: Try to convince them to do business by offering a lower price, making it all about the bottom line.
Michael's approach: Make them want to do business with you, then show how you can save them money, making it about the relationship first and the bottom line second.
"Business isn't about Money to me, David. That's the difference between you and I. Tomorrow if my company goes under, I will start another company and another and another..."
Micheal is the boss Salesman.
If you re-watch The Office enough, you'll see Micheal has placed his "Best Salesman of the Year" award (for 1996 and 1997) in his office.
@@raghavendraravi6866 And isn’t that the mark or a truest successful business man? Recognizing that the money is just one aspect of the business and in order to have a company that thrives you need to properly manage every resource from workers to supplies and everything in between… not just fret over costs.
Thats exactly how a good saleperson works : you do with business with people, not with bottom lines. (ofc the bottom line count, but people first)
Dunder Mifflin cannot win based on the bottom line. Michael recognized that.
@@djvWOODSTOCK This comment. Nailed it
I love when Michael pulls out some big brain scheme that works PERFECTLY and somehow logically makes sense.
As a businessman myself, Michael Scott's methods are absolutely key to building trust and earning powerful opportunities. Humans are emotional creatures, and that... is a good thing. Because getting swindled is not the issue. WHO you can accept getting swindled BY, is what matters.
Jan smiling during the chilli's meeting was like when the grinchs heart grew lol
also when michael dwight and jim went to go tag team the big sale but danny cordray already beat him to the punch and how michael was visibly frustrated that he lost it AND THEN WENT AND SOLD DANNY ON WORKING FOR HIM!!!!!! michael is an A PLUS salesman
One of the best !!!
One might think that Michael is eccentric and silly, but when it comes to sales he's is a very talented person. I cannot stop cheering whenever he proves his worth.
That first scene is a masterclass on Sales. Michael analyzed the customer and found his way in. Showed him a great time and mentioned work only at the end. 💰💰
Michael: “…you’ll estimate me.”
Jan’s Face: (pure confusion)
This show is universally ageless because it captures both the heart and soul of both the working and management class. What we are experiencing in 2021 is exactly how we all wish things always are.
"Green is go ahead and shut the hell up" - sounds legit
Only Michael understands the method to his madness. 😀
I suppose that ensures that if anyone other than him tries to use his client/lead list, they are going to fail horribly.
When he’s just being himself he’s really cool, charming and just an all around great guy. The problem is that he’s always trying so hard to be something he’s not. One of the best examples is when he’s around kids he goes into auto pilot normal mode and is really cool.
I love The Client episode for this reason. And the writing is incredible. From the first minute he is already laying the groundwork. He calls the waitress by name showing that he cares about relationships which ends up being the way he wins then over.
Michaels problem was that he tried too hard to be liked as manager. Nothing wrong with wanting to be close to your workers. His method was just either ridiculous or trying too hard.
But when it came down to business, the nut-cutting, making sales, he did great. In short, whenever he stopped trying to impress people or be liked and just focused, he normally did great.
Exactly. Basically just haplessly overthinking was his main flaw
It's very clear when he works at the diet pill company. He isn't in a management position, so he actually makes friends and is liked.
Not to mention when he got set up with Pam’s friend without his knowledge, and they got along great. But then he found out he was on a date, and then Date Mike showed up to ruin everything.
@@inflameslp311 OMG, _exactly._ I never saw it before, but that's pretty much Michael in a nutshell.
It is absolutely _not_ your job as a manager to get your employees to like you.
It absolutely _is_ your job as a salesman to get your clients to like you.
“I’ll see your situation and I’ll raise you a situation” is one of the COLDEST lines every delivered on the show.
I love how he works David Wallace over. Great lesson in how most executives are just looking at short term gains that make them look good. Human nature.
Dunder Mifflin losing money and customers would be bad for him personally. Whereas a one-off buyout of Michael Scott Paper could be explained away.
I love the scene where we see Michael as a boy on Santa's lap wishing that everyone would like him for Christmas. That scene explains so much about him with so little.
4:01 i never realized dwight kept his hand up the whole time 🤣
Michael during the Michael Scott Paper Co. storyline is S-tier television
2:54 the cameraman expected that Michael would be able to fly it.
Great subtle comedy
I love this show
5:15 Pam’s proud smile is so perfect here
In most cases micheal scott has a child like mind but when it comes to sales he's a genius there's a reason why he's manager
I think the reason his managing skills work, is because of his spirit of treating the office like a family.
They should've put Andy's NFL sale as an honorable mention
Thats a fake sale just to impress the fact checker guy
@@BajaFreeze😂😂😂😂😂😂
Always found it amazing that Michael was a salesman in his spare time and was the best ever. Everything he did was sales. Even if it was selling you on believing in him.
“I don’t think I have to wait out Dunder mifflin, I think I just have to wait out you” is probably one of my favorite lines on this show
That smile jan gives looks so real, pure happiness. gives me shivers.
I loves Jan's realisation that Michael is actually a goon when it comes to sales😂
Michael is actually a genius. The rest of everything he says is just his intrusive thoughts getting out and running amok
Michael was always at his best when he wasn’t trying, he was a people person and knew how to handle people in business, which goes to show how he acquired the most accounts in his work force and became manager, he had the biggest clients on his list.
I liked how the office always touched on how insane Michael was as a salesman. Made more sense how he ended up becoming a manager. Wish he stepped into the sales game more throughout the series
He’s just been the ultimate troll for the whole series. He’s really a genius
Actually he's a great salesman, always has been. The issue is he was such a good salesman they promoted him to management. He sucks at management.
2:20 that’s where she finally realized his game
Some of my favorite moments is when they show how good Michael, Jim, and Dwight are at their jobs. They don’t just tell, they have incredibly well crafted scenes with subtle dialogue and facial expressions that shows exactly why they haven’t gone out of business.
"Green means go, so i know go ahead and shut up about it" GENIUS
The fact that Michael straight up "went to war" against DWIGHT, outsmarted him, and won, gives me a whole new shocking fear of how formidable and terrifying Michael would be if he was like that all the time.
The first sale there are multiple brilliant things he does to steer the conversation and stop Jan from blowing the sale. First time you couldn’t help but respect him.
That was brilliant how Michael said “the Michael Scott paper company has opened a new branch this very month”
Buying from Michael must be a treat
Feeling happy and just have a relaxed day
Especially when you are so stressed due to work you seek these moments
I love how at 3:14 the Hammermill rep is just sitting there listening to Michael rant.
As worrying as Michael can be… he is actually extremely smart 😂 I like to think that he does silly things to make people smile and feel better about things, but in reality he knows exactly what he’s doing and when it comes down to business he shows exactly what he’s really doing. Always gets the client and the best outcome in serious situations when he has a role to play
I love that Dwight knows how good he is at sales, but as soon as Michael says he’s going to steal his biggest client with him listening, Dwight goes into extreme panic mode. He knows that if Michael wants it, there isn’t anything he can do to stop him.
I love how when Jan tries to pipe up Michael immediately shuts her down. Like, “You may think I’m an idiot, but you can’t do what I do.”
Never underestimate Michael's salesmanship. He sold 1 Million dollars worth of paper to William M. Buttlicker just by his voice.
They had to make Michael an amazing salesman. No one that awkward and socially backwards could get to become manager of an entire branch without having amazing sales skills.
Michael’s such a good salesman, he made a sale during his sugar high and doesnt even remember it
The Michael Scott Company story arc, from the moment Charles showed up to the final episode when Michael gets all their jobs back, would have made the perfect The Office movie.
Honestly I feel like Michael is a genius, he just doesn't give af and acts goofy
He was promoted to regional manager at age 24, he IS a genius, when it comes to business at least.
What I love about the writing is that Michael is ACTUALLY doing decent as a salesman and manager. There’s even that episode where his branch out-sells everyone else. This makes the show much more realistic and immersive. And it also makes Michaels silliness and outrageous antics even more funny and unpredictable 😂
Everyone there forgets that Michael was the top salesman, bringing in the best clients, which is why he became manager.
Michael such a great salesman! Cudos to the show’s writer for giving him strengths. It’s better for his character growth!
Everyone in sales know you don’t talk business right away. Sell like you’re selling to yourself. And they captured that perfectly in Michael
There’s an episode where Jan tasks Pam to keep a log of Michael’s hour-by-hour activity for the day. Pam gets worried seeing that Michael appears to be unproductive all day. She’s surprised when she finds out that Cosby impersonation he made earlier in the day, actually closed a big sale.
which episode???
@@ChinmayLive it's a subplot of "the Initiation"
@@ChinmayLive pretzel day
2:26 that's legendary Michael. The way he shuts her up because he's so close to closing the deal 👌🏻👌🏻
3:54 Dwight is still holding that hi-5 💔
@2:35 The emerging smile of admiration on Jan's face is beautiful. What a great actor.
You know, as I watch this, its surprising how pam saw Michael as an incompetent even though she arranged his schedule and saw countless times how took the company over the top.
It would have made more sense if she acted like David Wallace and be like, "he's a child but also a genius"
I think Pam somehow know how great Michael is as salesman and trust him so she join Michael’s company without a doubt
Love the first scene. As someone who worked in sales before, he really captures what makes a great salesman. The ability to build rapport shows why he became the manager.
3:33
Total hands down the pants, almost getting you there only to flick it and bend it in half, ABSOLUTE BLUE-BALLS for a salesman trying to remember and deliver their pitch. Brutal.
Dude... Michael even spit on it first.
