Let’s do something fun today.<\/p>\n
After writing a couple emails about marketing and movies last month a few people have asked about making a list of movies that might be helpful for their marketing, selling, copywriting, etc.<\/p>\n
Below are a few I’ve found helpful.<\/p>\n
In fact, in many cases, these flicks have been more practical<\/em> and helpful than some of the books and high falutin’ marketing courses I’ve bought.<\/p>\n Ready?<\/p>\n OK, let’s roll…<\/p>\n 1. Boiler Room <\/strong><\/p>\n This isn’t so much a “how to” movie, but a “how NOT to do” movie. <\/p>\n I don’t waste my time getting on goo-roo lists, but from what people I know are telling me, this is exactly<\/em> the kind of high pressure nonsense some of these goo-roos are using to upsell people by phone into big ticket coaching programs.<\/p>\n Still… there is ONE good lesson in it.<\/p>\n And that is, when one of the salesmen is doing his thing, he asks a question (I think for the sale) and then… shuts up.<\/p>\n That was pretty cool.<\/p>\n And good advice when selling in person<\/em> or phone<\/em>.<\/p>\n 2. The Matrix<\/strong><\/p>\n I think we covered this movie pretty well here:<\/p>\n
