As a salesperson, not all your efforts will immediately translate into success, but that doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t keep at it&#8230; many a time, efforts have compounding results that are only seen much later.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watch when- <em>You feel like it\u2019s been a while since your last win, even when you\u2019re putting in your best.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-4-the-internship\" style=\"font-size:22px\">4.

The Internship is an outright comedy&nbsp;movie, a completely light-hearted watch and you\u2019ll probably only watch it once. We realized, however, that it\u2019s just the perfect film if you find yourself in unfamiliar sales territory.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Internship tells the story of salesmen Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) who find themselves out of a job when their employer goes out of business. They apply for an unpaid Google internship, an opportunity that has the potential to culminate in a full-time role and get accepted only because of their unconventional application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As expected from outdoor salesmen of that time, they find themselves out of their depth among the much younger, much more technologically-savvy interns that are part of the program with them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The movie comes with some predictable team-dynamic problems and cliched romantic link-ups, but it\u2019s a great watch if you need someone to tell you to hang in there when you feel out of place.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watch when- <em>You\u2019re trying to adapt to a new industry or a new role and&nbsp;your sales&nbsp;motivation&nbsp;is a bit low&nbsp;(and need a laugh!)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-5-the-wolf-of-wall-street\">5.&nbsp;The Wolf of Wall Street&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201c97% of people who quit too soon are employed by the 3% who never gave up.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We don\u2019t think this movie has something for you to emulate, in particular.

The movie shows the stereotypical high-profile life of stockbrokers, but what we think you should focus on is the character \u2013 a look at Jordan Belfort\u2019s silver tongue and sales tactics will inspire the most hesitant and reserved salespersons to push their technique.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The movie is a great example of how sales&nbsp;techniques&nbsp;can be&nbsp;a skill and a talent, no matter which field you\u2019re in. You might have seen it once before, but we\u2019d recommend you watch it again for its focus on the sheer impact of words, tonality, and presence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watch when- <em>You need to get pumped and pull yourself up!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-6-the-big-short\">6.&nbsp;The Big Short&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cNo one\u2019s paying attention.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Yes, you read that right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As a software product company, we wanted to include one movie that perfectly simplified complex concepts to make them more digestible to improve sales effectiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We see our sales team dealing with this challenge, consciously using language and metaphors that help simplify the functionalities of&nbsp;<u><a href=\"https:\/\/kylas.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kylas Growth Engine<\/a><\/u>&nbsp;to small businesses who may\/may not be aware of the far-reaching capabilities of CRMs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Big Short is a biography&nbsp;that is known for its ingenious approach in simplifying the US housing bubble and subsequent crashing of the world economy. It uses cameos from celebrities including Selena Gomez, Anthony Bourdain, and Margot Robbie to break the \u2018fourth wall\u2019 and explain financial instruments and concepts to viewers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The movie is a must-watch in any case, but for salespersons, we would recommend it as a great way to learn how to break down complex concepts and keep prospects hooked.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watch when- <em>You\u2019re selling complex instruments such as technology, machinery, and, of course, financial instruments!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-7-zootopia\" style=\"font-size:22px\">7.&nbsp;Zootopia&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cTomorrow is another day.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you were surprised with any of our earlier recommendations, this one will knock your socks off.

The buddy-cop movie entertains and inspires bunny-cop Judy Hopp, who overcomes all kinds of obstacles to fulfill her dream of being on the police force. We included this movie for its light-hearted, funny take on a never-give-up and sheer willpower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Bonus- You can watch it with your family and come away feeling warm inside.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you\u2019re in a new sales role where you have plenty of ideas but struggle to be heard, or are fighting against the general tide in order to make an impact, this movie is for you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watch when- <em>You need some&nbsp;sales motivation&nbsp;and a healthy dose of a can-do attitude, to take the world by storm and come up with ingenious ways to break those sales targets!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-8-boiler-room\" style=\"font-size:22px\">8.&nbsp;Boiler Room&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cA sale is made on every call you make.

Boiler Room is another cult financial broker movie that we\u2019re including on here in case you haven\u2019t seen it yet. The film has been nominated for plenty of awards and features some household names including Vin Diesel and Ben Affleck.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The movie is centered on enterprising college dropout Seth Davis as he takes his skills running an illegal college gambling ring to the offices of brokerage firm J.T. Marlin. The story follows him as he goes from overturning his life as he learns the ropes to take the firm down for its illegal activities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you want something that will inspire your sales talents and skills but don\u2019t want to watch Wolf of Wall Street again, we recommend Boiler Room.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watch when- <em>You need some skill inspiration to pull <em>sales motivation<\/em><\/em> <em>up!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-9-tommy-boy\">&nbsp;9.&nbsp;Tommy Boy&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cWe don\u2019t take no for an answer!\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It doesn\u2019t get more classic than this. Tommy Boy is a 1995 film that tells the story of how Tommy (Chris Farley) fights to save his father\u2019s auto parts plant (from bankruptcy and the clutches of his evil new stepmother) after he passes away.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The movie even covers a cross-country sales trip that Tommy undertakes with his father\u2019s assistant Richard (David Spade). Think of it as the comedic makeover movie of salespersons: Tommy, who first strikes out with every prospective order, learns to use his people skills to make sales.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">No scandals, duping and swindling here \u2013 at least, not by the salesperson. Just good, clean, sales fun! If you need a pick me up and a story of success to reinstate your faith in your sales career, this is the one for you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Watch when- <em>You\u2019re questioning the sanity of the sales industry and\/or a sales role and need a feel-good pick-me-up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-10-thank-you-for-smoking\" style=\"font-size:22px\">10.&nbsp;Thank You for Smoking&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cI like a challenge.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We\u2019ve saved a popular one for the last. Thank You&nbsp;for&nbsp;Smoking is a satirical comedy film that tells the story of tobacco salesman Nick Naylor and his son, for whom he\u2019s a role model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Nick spends the better part of the movie as a tobacco spokesperson, working against anti-tobacco lobbyists and promoting the use of tobacco (in sometimes underhanded ways) for his boss.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When circumstances render him jobless (bad PR causes his boss to fire him), he still manages to turn the tide against an anti-tobacco bill that\u2019s in motion and win people over to his cause.
