Sales-Related Films
Need some sales inspiration? Need to find the tip of the spear of materialism? Need to laugh at the exaggerations, salesmanship, hyperbole or incredible lines? Here is a list for you salespeople and observers of salespeople.
These films should mostly focus on the 'sale' rather than are about salesperson's lives and other endeavours, but included are films that at least delivered a good line or two.
Now don't go watching these! Instead, get out there and sell something.
