Glengarry Glen Ross Marketing Tactics For Books

Take A Tip From Glengarry Glen Ross When Marketing Your Book!

Ever see the movie Glengarry Glen Ross? It's an adaptation of a David Mamet play and stars Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris and Alan Arkin. There is also a guest appearance with Alec Baldwin (this is not in the play).

Want to market anything? WATCH THIS MOVIE. Do not emulate Jack Lemmon's character of Stan "The Machine" Levine. A desperate salesman who is parodied in "The Simpsons." He is desperate, comes off as pathetic (especially the scene where he goes to the house of a "lead").

Follow Al Pacino's character of Ricky Roma - the lead salesman. Watch how he gets Jonathan Pryce to buy the worthless Florida property. Very smooth. He is the top salesman in the company.

This is THE movie to watch for anyone who wants to market anything. It's also a good film as far as the cast.
