Date: July 23rd, 2025 2:14 PM Author: glassy aromatic location shitlib it wasnt until i saw it on broadway and did i researched the play a bit that i learned Glengarry Glen Ross referred to the developments they are selling. i always thought it was the name of the firm and "the Glengarry leads" referred to leads owned by the firm and purchased by Mitch & Murray. glen ross are the shit leads for a shit development.

Date: July 23rd, 2025 2:39 PM Author: Spectacular crackhouse candlestick maker In the movie Ed Harris character talks about Glen Ross as a prior era of sales when they had a golden goose and closing was easy. He talks about how things were going well but someone scammed way too many people and the customer base dried up. He had nostalgia for Glen Ross because it was a time of stable income and he wasn't working that hard.
Glengarry is obviously the hot new real estate operation that will be easier to sell because it sells itself and the leads are all people with a good income who are ready to buy.
In sales you never want a shit salesman to burn through your best leads because they are expensive. You would rather dole them out to your top people slowly so they have a high chance of closing on each one. It's typical for shit salesmen to have to go through garbage leads. I was terrible at sales back in the day and I had to go through it shit leads. There was a woman in our office who was like Ricky Roma. She put up kooky numbers. My boss told me once that the whole point of his job was to find the next Roma. One guy or gal with talent does more than the whole rest of the sales room. |

Date: July 23rd, 2025 2:54 PM Author: glassy aromatic location shitlib yes i understand its in the film im saying i missed it and made up a dumb misunderstood version in my head that i only recently realized was wrong.
every sales office has a roma. often rotating. gene likes to point out he used to be top dog. the best salespeople are pretty eratic and usually abusing a substance. you know how drug addicts are frequently charismatic and persuasive? so they work in bursts of motivation. make a few big sales and you're living large and fucking off until the money runs dry, and then you're scrambling like gene suddenly.
hot women break this mold, they're usually chill and guys just buy stuff cause they're hot. and indians, who never stop hussling, although they rarely reach roma tier because they smell bad and are transparently out to fuck people over. |

Date: July 23rd, 2025 3:00 PM Author: Spectacular crackhouse candlestick maker Yeah my whole mom's side of the family are in sales. They're all heavy drinkers and go through the ups and downs. My uncle told me if you go into sales, marry a woman with a stable job so you can weather the lean times. He said it's not even about work ethic or personality but just that every era has ebbs and flows.
My mom is in sales and she was just broke for 9 months and now got a huge windfall. It be like that. It's like winning the lotto. But these people never save for a rainy day. Easy come, easy go. |

Date: July 23rd, 2025 3:20 PM Author: glassy aromatic location shitlib yeah that's a big reason i got out. its unpredictable. and you can never relax if its not something with recurring customers and income. that's the biggest issue imo. most fields you can build a book or reputation and rely on that. something like glengarry you gotta else every day until you die. thats why most of the romas there tend to addicts/erratic and unsuitable for something more professional. the stable romas i knew either transitioned to a more stable sales field or did something entirely like check commas and poast.

Date: July 23rd, 2025 3:24 PM Author: Spectacular crackhouse candlestick maker Agreed. The constant stress never ends. Most people prefer stability and for work to end when they go home. Every salaryman just has to do enough to keep their job. It's pass/fail. Sales is mercurial. You could be a God one month and shit the next. Most people aren't cut out for it.

Date: July 23rd, 2025 4:26 PM Author: glassy aromatic location shitlib it's like being a pro athlete (obviously not equating the skill and intensity). and just like in that sometimes people lose their edge and are done, even if its just yemporary.

Date: July 23rd, 2025 4:55 PM Author: Spectacular crackhouse candlestick maker You know what I've always wondered is why musicians keep writing and releasing music long after their peak period. Like obviously Billy was on an insane hot streak from Gish up through Melon Collie. Adore was "Okay" at best. But why keep going? And in interviews he talks about how he's really butthurt that people come up to him and say I love 1979 but the rest is shit. If I ever wrote one song that cool I'd be extremely proud for the rest of my life.
But why does he keep going? All the unlistenable trash he's added to the collection. I don't get it. Every songwriter has a peak period and gets burned out at some point, afaik. Wouldn't he trade in the last however many albums of trash for one more big hit? |

Date: July 23rd, 2025 2:11 PM Author: glassy aromatic location shitlib it's the best depiction of sales. salesmen idolize it like how gangsters idolize the godfather even though in both cases the work is critical of what it depicts.
you'd maek it in sales imo. |

Date: July 23rd, 2025 2:51 PM Author: Spectacular crackhouse candlestick maker I only did it when I was young and didn't have the motivation. I wish I had stuck with it longer.
My boss always used to say, how come you're so entertaining in person but you suck on the phone? You're the life of the room here but you're boring on the phone. I never had my phone game down, but maybe I could have learned. I think I was too uptight. Should have bullshitted way more. |
