The Shouty, Loud, Sales Stereotype Is Dead
The show is kicked off with Tucker explaining that the loud, mouthy salesperson stereotype which has been prevalent from the 1980’s until today is finally dead.
He doesn’t want to hire these people and they don’t add value to his prospects.
“Most people don’t think for themselves how to act or how to be in any situation” – Tucker Max
Tucker then shares his thoughts on how the US population has become more culturally sophisticated and less tolerant to having sales pitches rammed down their throats.
“We don’t hire salespeople” – Tucker Max
The show is wrapped up with Tucker pointing out that for his business he is ONLY interested in speaking with and facilitating people already sold on the idea of working with their company.
He’s 100% uninterested in attempting to influence or inform through salespeople prospects who perhaps might not yet realise they’ve a need for his product.
