Sell me a Pen....
Last night I went to see Leonardo DiCaprio´s last movie: "The wolf of Wall street". As you maybe know the movie is about an ordinary guy who makes himselve a biljonair as a broker on Wallstreet.
Apart from all the sex, drugs and partying, the movie treats about the desire of (almost) everbody to get rich(er). Jordan (Leonardo) and his team are masters in selling actions to ordinary people who think that a "once in a lifetime opportunity" is offered to them.
There was one particular scene that caught my attention and I think we can all benefit from it:
Jordan´s sales team is sitting in a cafe and some members are bragging about their selling abilities. To prove their statements, Jordan takes his pen and gives it to one of his friends and says "sell me a pen".
Instead of promoting it, the friend takes the pen and hides it. After that, he asks Jordan to write down his name on a piece of paper. "I have no pen to write with" says Jordan. "Exactly", says his friend: "NOW I will sell you the pen".
I hope I gave you something to think about! Have a nice day!!

That is a great thing to keep in mind. It really just proves the point that if you can find a solution to a person's problem you can sell them just about anything =).
Exactly!! The trick is to find that special need and sell the solution on your web. I see you got the point! I hope this blog will help you a little bit on your way to success!
Make you wonder.....doesn´t it? How could you apply this to your side. I can not stop thinking about it., LOL
Thanks for sharing. I like the sales pitch. I want to see the movie when it comes to Europe. Debbie
Yeah, the sales pitch is definately very interesting. Create a need and you will sell! Interesting indeed:)
Sounds like a good movie - I'll bucket list one - thanks. Feel guilty as you sold me the review and no commission for you - only kidding, this sort of commission thing is not allowed in WA - lol
LOL, Have a good time at the movie. I turned red sometimes, after seeing it you´ll know why:)
