With the <\/span>90th Academy Awards<\/span><\/em> just around the corner, I thought we\u2019d take a look at some of the best sales movies Hollywood has to offer for salespeople. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be frank, Hollywood doesn\u2019t churn out enough sales-related movies. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when they do, most of them show salespeople as soulless predators who leech money off innocent people –  and it’s true in some cases. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a handful of them over the years have truly captured what it’s like to be a real salesperson.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the light in which salespeople are shown, all these movies still offer a lot of takeaways: from persuasion tactics to attentive listening to building relationships to pep talks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So grab some popcorn, crack open a cold one, and get comfy\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

For here is a list of movies that we think would entertain, motivate, or help today\u2019s salespeople.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-Time Top Sales Movies Every Salesperson Must Watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ABC. \u201cA\u201d, always. \u201cB\u201d, be. \u201cC\u201d, closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING. Always be closing.<\/em><\/p>\n-Blake<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Often considered as the Citizen Kane of sales movies, <\/span>Glengarry Glen Ross<\/span><\/a> is the story of four sales reps battling against each other to save their jobs. This movie portrays how toxic a competitive environment can be. They use all sorts of unethical practices and tactics to close deals; ranging from stealing leads to selling undesirable property to lying, cheating, threatening, bribery, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all these, it still has scenes that offer a lot of value to salespeople. For example, the famous Alec Baldwin scene, where he explains the ABC and AIDA techniques to his peers to \u201cmotivate\u201d them, is by far the best and most useful scene from the movie. Not only does it explain these two concepts, it also shows how a manager should go about motivating his team –<\/span> well, unlike Baldwin here, you probably would want to tone down on the profanity a bit.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
