Bullshit!!!!, the character of Alec Baldwin is full of shit. Is not what people say is what they do (including here girls, family, politics you name it) , if he were to work with the leads of the «machine» he would have failed, the leads were dead. They should have challenged him on the spot, to see how he does with the bad leads, if fact bet against him, but they did not because they have them by the balls, so they have to listen to the corporate bullshit. it is similar to the wizard of Oz, he will put a show to impress you but there is nothing behind it to support it.

The worlds is full of bullshitters, if you look carefully you will notice that they DO NOT DO what they say, tv evangelist and politicians are a prime example of this. The leads were given to the machine with the solely purpose to see him fail, he was being fucked and he had no clue, that is the real problem, we need to remove the blindfold that has been put on us to see how bad we are being fucked and to put an end to that, that is the purpose of the red pill.

Amazing part of the Baldwin scene is that it wasn't in Mamet's script. Apparently much of it was ad-libbed. Classic scene. To this day I tell people, "coffee is for closers."

Having been someone who has worked in a numbers driven sales environment... I recognise the entire speech from start to finish. I also thoroughly enjoyed the film (a few times.)

It's a great scene, but this is short sighted advice. The thing about that sort of environment is that it's always a numbers game to newbies... but the smart salesman, someone who has been round the block as shown by Al Pacino "Patel? WTF is this? PATEL?" knows there's more to the game than just the raw effort that a newbie will put in. The boss has a wilful ignorance of the variables in play and they know it. They tend to become irritated and/or ignore those speeches by the guys at the top because they know it's taken the years of experience to figure out where best to expend their effort... and when the boss tries to pressure them into wasting their time - "How am I gonna make a living out of these deadbeats?"

Now you're probably asking, why would a boss not look after his long term employees? Why give them a speech that only pisses them off? It's because high pressure sales as an environment has probably the highest employee turnover of any industry. 80-90% of people simply can't make it. So they're constantly dealing with newbies who need to play that numbers game to gain the experience needed to identify how to use their time best. So it's a rational choice and Red Pill is similar... most guys are in the anger phase and need to go out and waste their time for a while getting rejected and getting over their approach anxiety etc.

People actually react in three ways to this. Some who've earned their stripes in the environment just smirk at Baldwin's speech, ignore him and carry on with what we know works. My weekend mindset? I'm gonna get cleaned up and head out in a few hours, I'm gonna hang out with my mate, see a film with him, get some food and catch up, chat about our workouts, call him a beast. Then I'm gonna call a plate and tell her to come over and suck my dick. My sales number will go on the board, but I'm not doing it your way. Keep perspective gents - know what you're aiming for. There's no point achieving some numbers if you can't make a living long-term. Motivate yourself to learn and achieve smarter. After all, you don't want to be spending all your weekends working in the SMP - you want to be minimising that effort.

Or you just enjoy the scene as entertainment as it is and don't read too much into it.

That said, I agree, stop jerking off and do what need to be done.

Before you post, have something original to say.
