    One of the things that gets missed here because the video cuts the scene, is Seth (Giovanni Ribisi) asks Vin Diesel why he only sold the doctor 2,000 shares. Vin explains since its a new client, the firm is putting up the money and if the doctor defaults, then Vin is left holding the bag to cover the trade.

We didn't sell BS stock like here in the movie but it was hard for me and other cold callers to talk to people in other states to get them interested in anything. My broker would just take the phone from me, talk to the guy, and BOOM...open the account. Straight amazing. For a lot of us, it seemed that you did not have to go to Harvard to be a success there, you just needed to know how to talk to people. Just like the movie, my broker said no women and no old people. He also said only accredited investors...people with $250k in the market or more. He was like 25 at the time and made $20 to $50k a month....sick!

      @@ronin120 Yeah....but what they don't tell you is that over 95% of the people do not make it and over 50% of the people you started with on Monday are gone by Friday. I've worked several jobs like this, one was a brokerage firm and the other two were just high-pressure sales of some over-priced bullshit product that nobody wanted to buy. They give you zero training, they don't even look at you or talk to you, they just give you a phone and back then a Yellow Pages book (2001-2003), some one sheet "pitch" and tell you "go ahead sky is the limit". I basically quit because I felt too-smart and too-classy for that shit-show. Without trying to sound too "princessy" but I went to some really excellent and fancy schools all on academic scholarships + soccer scholarship, and I basically just felt stupid after few weeks of calling random 1-800 numbers off the back of the cereal boxes or the cans of soup and asking to be connected to the VP of sales (without knowing his name of course). As soon as the phone receptionist hears that they know it's some jagoff sales guy and they either just hang up on you or connect you to the "shithole voicemail" where all the sales call go to die. Any idiot who can handle being told 100 times a day "to fuck off" on the phone was qualified for these jobs. It was just basically all a big numbers game/pyramid scheme and they just needed fresh bodies every week to call and who's better to call than stupid fresh college grads who know nothing about Corporate America or 40+ year old dudes with no college degrees who have failed in everything in life so far and now this was their one last hope of trying to make it big. It was also a scam because I was selling some really shady shit that was way overpriced and completely different than what I was told to say to the potential client. The only times our phones would ring back (meaning someone calling us) was some angry client who bought this shit from someone at the company months or years ago, got fucked over, and he was still angry calling the firm trying to curse out the sales guy who fucked him over.
      The Senior Brokers/ Managers would make money of all sales from any guy on their teams and they made sure to always hire someone who had a cousin, friend, wife's best gay friend or whomever who would make a purchase to help out the kid who just started in the industry. So, most of the time that would be the only sale a new trainee would ever make, "the glory" would last 5 minutes, and after all the senior brokers would get their piece of the pie they would only ask you "what else you got". Of course, you'd run out of friends or cousins to whom you could sell this shit very fast and then you'd quit because you made almost zero dollars and you'd realize it was all just a big scam. My manager specifically hired me because he was hoping I had "rich friends" that I could call and sell them this shit because he saw I went to Groton and Dartmouth. Every single job like that if you manage to make it past the first stage you immediately get the fuck out of being a sales guy and you want to become a manager who has other dumb kids selling for him. Nobody stays and sells for himself and makes millions for himself by himself, only if others do it for him. Stay the fuck away and become a doctor or someone whom the sales guys call not the other way.

    Boiler rooms are PUA type sales. It's immediate sales based on deception and trickery. Lots of folks want the high life and the trophies it brings, but are thrown off by the long road of risk. So, when a slick cat calls them offering a way to be the top dog, they overcome their objections by reinforcing their insecurities and making them give you their money being the answer, not letting them off the phone because they know it's a fish breaking your line. And it doesn't matter whether you're selling stocks, printers or complete bullshit, anyone can be had, even the most intelligent and accomplished people, if you catch them off guard in the heat of the sale.
    P.S. This wasn't meant to be a shot at Trump, but this describes the man perfectly.

      If you believe THAT then you've NEVER done telemarketing at all.

      With their script, you'd cold call people and actually had them believe they used to have AT & T but somehow got " slammed " and you're doing them a favor to switch them back !
      The other one played on their feelings because that company made it seem that some of the profits from the purchase of vitamins / light bulbs was to help homeless vets !
      I was shitty at both but I'd see coworkers with the firm that had AT/T have over $2,000 checks after TWO weeks on payday.

    Sales movies are pretty much just as accurate as sports movies. They are made to look so much easier than they are and they have such unrealistic situations.
    Of course you can get a golden nugget like this doctor here. They did do a fair job, portraying his naïve nature in order to make this call and sale possible.
    However, most people are looking at the closer played by Vin Diesel here. Of course, he does a great job in creating a perception of value for what he’s selling by manipulation and telling the customer he needs to earn his trust before buying more. Clearly he’s planting the seed in the guys head that there is more gold in the treasure box, but that it’s HIM that needs to earn buying more rather than the salesman who needs to earn selling more. I understand. This is very transparent as it’s Monday morning, and we are all the quarterback. However, it was still a good strategy.
    That being said, sales is a numbers game. Specially when you are selling an intangible product over the phone no less, your failure rate is 99% or greater. You need to make 1000 phone calls to possibly get a guy like this on the other end. And when you do, you better know how to close him out. Now that being said, in my opinion, the best part of the phone call was when the doctor wasn’t really paying much attention or mind to Seth and asked him to once again repeat what company he worked for and instead of answering, giving the doctor an opportunity to say yeah, I’ve never heard of you guys, goodbye. Seth just takes the ball and runs with it. He takes control of the conversation again and says let me ask you something, and at this point the power in the conversation shifts. So yes, it’s unrealistic to think that this is the typical phone call, but it’s not unrealistic that this phone call can happen. It will. You make enough phone calls, you get enough sales. Of course, there are people that are just born salesman and they have tremendous networking skills and people buy from them but for the most part, it’s a grind. A very fucking relentless grind. You will actually start to lose your mind making 100 to 150 Diles per day and saying the same shit over and over and over and over and over again. If you could make money and avoid being in sales, I absolutely recommend it, but this is not unrealistic. And in real life, Vin Diesel was a telesales professional so this was old hat to him.

      Partly correct, what this character did was what is done in most direct sales, and so called sales events. He appealed to his victims greed. The only reason he bought was believing he was doing so at an advantage over the market, and would see big gains as a result.
      The same applies to people who accept a once only the sale deal, thinking they are getting a better price than others, their buying decision is mainly motivated by greed.
      The doctor in the scene was simply working at the time of the call with no intention of buying shares, he needed a reason to buy, so his own greed was his downfall.
