How can i improve my sales pitch?

The Cinematic Sales Pitch - I need the expertise of movie and tv buffs..

  • I'm looking to watch clips of sales pitches that appeared in movies or television - anything over the past 50-60 years but the more recent the show or movie would be better. Think of something like a scene in Mad Men where Don Draper absolutely nails the sales pitch to the client. If you can think of any, please let me know the movie or show title and if you have any memory of approximately where the sales pitch occurred in the movie or tv show. If it's a tv show I'll need at least the season and episode. I want my staff to nail an upcoming sales pitch and I'd love to make a fun supercut with some killer inspiration!

  • Answer:

    Cut in some bits from Baldwin's monologue in Glengarry Glen Ross!!!

For movie pitches check out Swimming With Sharks. Jerry McGuire has some "You need my services" style pitches. Please post the supercut on YouTube when you're done!

It's been a long time since I saw The Hudsucker Proxy or Tucker: A Man and His Dream, but IIRC there were plenty of flashy sales scenes in both movies.

In the movie "Big" Tom Hanks is working for a toy company. Some men are pitching a new type of transformer where the robot turns into a building and he says "I don't get it." He then proceeds to come up with a better idea. I tried to find a clip online to link to, but couldn't find one. (Or at least not one that wasn't blocked by my work's firewall...)

Do reality shows count? http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-pitch immediately came to mind - that's what the whole show is about. This is also done in pretty much every episode of The Apprentice/Celebrity Apprentice.
