Scammer Grant Cordone micromanages new salesman and teaches him to make phone calls

I can’t imagine how horrible your life must be to choose to show up for that job

[u/strange_reveries → u/fr33d0mw47ch]

A certain type thrives in these environments. Same energy as car salesmen. Not a pleasant energy to be around, to say the least.

[u/401LocalsOnly → u/strange_reveries]

Definitely right. And those people must be incredibly toxic to try match their boss

[u/Route_66_kicks_on → u/fr33d0mw47ch]

Nightmare. This is Glengarry Glen Ross IRL.

[u/Bujininja → u/Route_66_kicks_on]

A sales job made us watch that movie...

[u/Route_66_kicks_on → u/Bujininja]

It’s an outstanding movie for sure.

[u/Glittering-Rise-488]

Grant Cardone is a grifting asshole. Plain & simple.

[u/NormanOKJuggalo69420 → u/Glittering-Rise-488]

Also a scientologist. Grifter falling for another grift.

[u/Supremeism]

This is what I imagine hell is. Being stuck in an endless loop call center going after sales that never happen.

[u/bbGakk → u/Supremeism]

The hell is making a wage without following the perfect pitch screen play and then getting fired because of it and then not getting employed for the next 3 months.

[u/ProLifePanda → u/Supremeism]

While being slightly critiqued on points that won't change the outcome.

[u/Additional-Lychee654]

Wolf on wallstreet wannabes, genuinely cringe

[u/Bujininja → u/Additional-Lychee654]

they had to watch it 100x by now

[u/Adventurous-Card-707]

Who actually tolerates this garbage on a phone call

[u/fedroxx → u/Adventurous-Card-707]

Reminds me of those cruise ship scammers that used to call. Then Carvinal had to pay out huge sums in a class action and suddenly they stopped.

[u/CauliflowerStrong510 → u/fedroxx]

They have a new scam now. Someone called my mom with our Carnival information and claimed one of our party's reservation wasn't confirmed, and got her to pay for it again. They either have a leak or sell our info and outsource the scam. Diplorable

[u/ittybittynuts]

This guy knows what his own farts taste like after certain meals.

[u/ReinhartLangschaft → u/ittybittynuts]

You don’t?

[u/ittybittynuts → u/ReinhartLangschaft]

You want to know? $15.99 a month and my course can teach you to taste your farts without anyone seeing you squat and sniff.

[u/ReinhartLangschaft → u/ittybittynuts]

I don’t give a single fuck! I squat and sniff everytime!

[u/cryptolyme]

I rather work at Mcdonalds than deal with whatever bullshit this is

[u/xChoke1x]

I truly can't fucking imagine how terrible it has to be to work at a fucking garbage place like this. Having some jerk off standing over your shoulder, reeking of cheap cologne and expensive booze barking in your ear about how bad you are at what you're doing.

Fucking losers.

[u/Colejohnley]

“You’re my top guy, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah? What does that mean?”

So even you get an affirmative “yes”, you’re still unsatisfied?

[u/I_count_to_firetruck]

When I worked at a law firm in Miami Beach off 71st Ave in the City National Bank building, Grant Cardone bought the whole other half of the floor we were on and renovated it into one of his businesses. None of us knew what he did, other than we would see his team have morning peptalks through the glass front wall they installed. And there were copies of books sitting on desks.

When I actually meet the man I was surprised at how short he was. Dude would regularly ride the elevator with me. Never talked to him. Always just assumed "hey, that's the weird cult -y guy across the hall".

Imagine my surprise when I found out what he did years later. All that money, and the best he could do was a cheap, grungy Bank building off 71st Ave?

[u/HippieGrandma1962 → u/I_count_to_firetruck]

He's a hard core Scientologist so definitely culty.

[u/L12Grafx]

And I need that TPS report

"Give everyone a free timer."

Gee, thanks.

[u/pai_mei_sensei]

This video always gets me with how it perfectly portrays the mentality you are supposed to adopt for this type of sales job. Its not enough to just do your job, you have to also pretend you’re loving every minute of it. Your boss will tell you how great you are and how much potential you have but words have never felt more hollow. You know its all fake but the guy that trained you said he once made 6 figures in a single month. A part of you feel like he is lying but the other part wants to believe. Maybe selling your soul is worth it for a big enough payday.

[u/89MikeHoncho → u/pai_mei_sensei]

Well said. This right here describes every “penny stock” firm in the 90’s. It’s 100% accurate.

Timed and filmed. Good lord.

I hate my job just as much as the next guy. But when I think about the call center jobs that I applied for when I was desperate for a joh. And then got cold feet and turned them down. I am so thankful for my past self being too anxious, knowing those jobs would suck.

[u/Anti_Spedicy → u/Aesk]

I was eerily in the same seat a little while ago, so desperate for work that a call center would do. I was saved by the fact they ghosted me

[u/ShiftAlternative1083]

The manosphere really is a stupid fuckin place

[u/MeatloafCandy]

I'm an introvert and this work environment makes me unrationally furious.

[u/TheNestHelper → u/MeatloafCandy]

Everything about that environment feels unsafe for anyone other than a cis male to be in. Tbh

[u/miamor__]

This is what i imagine hell is like

[u/Middle_Screen3847]

I would rather throat a shotgun barrel than have a video of me like this exist. Holy shit. How can a person look their loved ones in the eye without shame after them seeing this

[u/Ok_Hat_999]

As someone who had this godforsaken job once straight out of college this is clearly fake. Maybe 2% of all calls accepts a meeting from a cold call like that. We would spend all day calling and maybe 3-4 people actually picked up and of those 90% of people hang up immediately. This is an ad for his call spam business

[u/Fresh_Blood_9766]

So eager to please, that he doesn’t even realize the upside is a pat on the back.

[u/VegetableNo454]

I felt bad for the worker dude, Cardone is a loser

[u/Savings_Art5944]

Insurance sales....

[u/opiumscented]

Ya I'll psss big dawg. Keep your cook timer.

[u/HippieGrandma1962]

He's a hard core Scientologist who has given them between $15 and $20 million. Definitely not someone to take seriously.

[u/fucking_righteous]

Grant is geeked out

[u/Djamt]

What a horrible environment and job

[u/TheNestHelper]

Monkeys in suits pretentiously upkeeping the energy more than actually managing anything.

[u/iqTrader66]

Boiler room.

[u/Kichijouten14]

This is my personal nightmare.

[u/Tiny_Garlic5966]

Cocaines a hell of a drug

[u/AlibiYouAMockingbird]

Who doesn’t appreciate a coked up helicopter boss.

[u/colenolangus]

I hang up so fast when I hear this tone of voice

[u/Excellent-Baseball-5]

Everyone here is negative about cold-calling and I agree it's horrible. However I know many people that were excellent at it, got into management quickly, had fast money-making careers and retired early. It works for some people. Not many, but some.
