Being on commissioned sales is no way to live. Everyone should have a steady
assured source of income with bonuses based on performance that are reasonable
in order to make the model economical to sustain. Feast or famine is no way
to exist and in fact it drives many to acts of desperation in all it is that they get involved
in whether at work or relationships at home.

Then of course there is the predatory mindset that teaches the derogation of the
human spirit so as to spawn a devourer of sorts bent on feeding his own needs
of ego gratification and monetary gain at the expense of good folk that they might end
up preying on. Alec Baldwin's Character in speaking to a salesman under his command says
"you are nothing - as my watch costs more than your car". Many shallow superficial leadership
types think this works and is a valid way to look at people. How sad. as a formidable former Sales
Trainer and Human Relations coach, I can tell you intuitively that this guy is out to
lunch in the business of keeping his people rightly motivated. Fear itself never
motivates - it deters and it degenerates - but its never rational in comparison
as an approach to making people perform when better tactics are available. As such "the bottom
of the list gets automatically fired every month" is a stupid way to exist equally as some of the best
do have an off month too now and then I can say from first hand experience of what I saw while in the
Computer industry PC Corporate marketing sector in particular. (I earned my licence potentially to
sell Real estate at the age of 19 - however didn't follow through back then despite an offer from a
Commercial Real Estate firm who offered a draw against commissions to get me to leave my job as
manager of a Stereo store).

This movie is the best look at such issues and since the plot revolves around
high-roller Real estate sales types, it certainly should be of interest to many
millions of people around the world caught up in the life of sales that often
has no real meaning to it when there is nothing there in the way of secure other
than last months sales as nothing means anything until you sell again. The movie
"death of a salesman" similarly speaks to this illness that it breeds in feeling
mainly exploited, exploitative and not truly a valued member of the community
outside from being a commodity as it were.

There are many great people drawn to sales, and many get very rich at it.
More power to you! few are well motivated around the likes of the character
in this movie of Kevin Spacey as his human warmth is suspect of being only
a gimmick as it were. As such, you should pick who you work with and work under
with care as all you do will be affected by it in all aspects of your life.

Jack Lemmon gives us the clearest idea of a poor salesman in what is his
complete lack of genuine care in his approach to customers as "an easy enough
mark every time". This approach deserves to be a dismal failure and that is mainly
what is the result as we see in the show.

Making men desperate drives them to desperate acts potentially and that is what
we see occurs when some of the men decide to resort to outright theft to bring
down their abusive employer and earn a better living elsewhere perhaps - as
naive as that is to think could occur after such a false start.

The most magnificent performance in this movie and the bulk of the kudos belong
most sincerely to Al Pacino's character. He is the most intelligent and humanly
warm and caring of the crew with intuition and wisdom second to none. He is the
best of men here as it were. That is clearly so despite a script that often doesn't seek to
do justice top what are his real ideas views attitudes and feelings on matters at hand being
discussed. Then again the wicked always seek to win at the expense of their betters and man
hasn't yet overcome this fault of nature in a clear enough victory so as to change this truth forever
more in what remains of human existence on this earth potentially.

There is a reference to the failings of multicultural bliss as Pacino
rejects being given a lead bearing the name of "Patel" as he ribs
Spacey's own character in the movie

No to belabour, Enjoy the show and please seed to everyone you know
in this great profession of ours along the way!
