Mad Men - Great sales role models

There are a lot of films that have given sales a bad name

-Glengarry Glen Ross

-Boiler room

-The Wolf of Wall Street

To name a few.

But what about those films or TV shows demonstrating the opposite?

Take Mad Men for example -

Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm) is Creative Director at an advertising agency in New York during the 1960s.

He's also a masterful salesman.

Watch him during client meetings and you'll notice the following:

- He used words sparingly & with intent

- He moves with purpose

- He has that quiet intensity

- He problem-solves

- He gets into the heads of his clients

- He moves people into emotion

- He always acts like a partner

- He doesn't ever behave subserviently

- He leads with insight

- He challenges his clients and changes their perspective

- He shows his clients what they need even if they didn't realise it before

- He's creative

- He builds rapport

- He has high emotional intelligence

- He's great at story-telling

- He knows how to make people feel good about themselves

- He has gravitas & presence

- He leads

- He pauses and speaks when he has something impactful to say

- He doesn't make too much smalltalk

- He expects prospective clients to work with him
