Listening to this speech brought me back to the good ole' days when i first started trading. I started as a trader while i was trying to make money at nights selling time shares. There was this Korean guy who i was a good buddy with named William, basically the way the whole deal operated was as follows.
Our company would convince people to come in to watch a "90 minute presentation," based on some telemarketer telling them they won a gift in to one of our resorts for 4 days 5 nights at one of our suites, but the catch was that they had to come in and watch the presenation.
So as a salesman i would start out trying to pitch one of these couples on buying a timeshare, and if eventually they said no, i got paid 15% if i personally closed them myself and 7% if we required the assistance of a closer. Anyways once we were done throwing everything we had in the book at the client who was coming in for a free vacation, and they didnt want to buy, there was a signal to the guys the company deemed "closers." It was just funny watcing the closers operate, the guys who were hired on as closers could have sold ice cubes to eskimos, the second the deal went south they would step in and sell whatever product you were trying to sell provided it was a legitimate person who wanted to buy. It was just strange and it proved a valuable lesson to me to not trust salsemen, some of the sales the "closers" pulled off were miraculous. lol.
