The Pursuit of Happyness

The film is about a man who went from being a poor sales representative to a broker. Based on the eponymous memoir by Chris Gardner.

In this picture, you will see an incredibly difficult path to happiness. Will Smith's character and his son become homeless and forced to sleep wherever they have to. He sinks to the very bottom, but at the same time holds on to the last chance in his life - to get a job in a brokerage firm and at the same time show up to work in the appropriate form. Only one in twenty applicants will get a job and be able to get rid of their financial problems.

The most inspirational movie on our list.

The American

The plot tells the story of real estate agents, to whom a motivational business coach is sent to the office . He showered the employees with insults, after which he promises that the best of the four agents will receive a Cadillac, the second - a set of kitchen knives, and the other two will be fired.

The film shows all the immorality of this type of business and, judging by the name, identifies it with the Americans. It should be watched by everyone who wants to understand what mean things a person can go to for the sake of money.

The wolf of Wall Street

The plot is based on the memoirs of Jordan Belfort, a New York broker. He founded one of the largest brokerage firms in 1989, but ten years later was convicted of money laundering and a number of other financial crimes. At the moment Belfort is engaged in seminars on the art of trading.

In addition to the instructive element of the film, one should pay attention to the well-hung tongue of the hero DiCaprio - in the field of trade, this skill is perhaps the main one.

Wall Street

Unscrupulousness and greed are probably the first words that come to our mind when we say "Wall Street". Credit goes to director Oliver Stone, who made a brilliant film about stock workers starring Michael Douglas.

This is a story about how a novice broker suddenly opens his eyes to all the immorality of what is happening and he seeks to put his teacher, whom he admired until recently, behind bars. The moral of the film is that not everything can be sold. Even for a lot of money.

Boiler room

Another film inspired by the biography of Jordan Belfort. This means that financial frauds await us again. You will see how the price for initially cheap stocks winds up, artificial demand is created and huge money is made from commissions. You will also clearly see what the cold calling technique is.

Despite the obvious unattractiveness of many of the characters, the film itself is a visual aid to the art of selling, and is simply crammed with motivating and helpful business quotes.

Other People's Money

The hero Danny DeVito is engaged in legal, but unpleasant business for those around him. He resells bankrupt enterprises, having previously bought them for a pittance.

Psychologist Antonio Manghetti in his work "Ontopsychological syneamology" analyzes 70 films, paying attention to this. After analyzing this film in detail, he comes to the conclusion that this picture will be useful to sales professionals from the point of view of business psychology.
