The famous Alec Baldwin monologue from the film Glengarry Glen Ross, where his character Blake berates salesmen with the 'Always Be Closing' speech. It is a short, profane scene about sales pressure and motivation.
HN points to it as the one scene worth watching from the movie, a classic about sales and entrepreneurship.

Sales. It is all about the numbers. Just watch this classic clip from Glengarry Glen Ross: ▶ this video Pure. Gold.
If you liked this movie, may I suggest the David Mamet movie that inspired it: Glengarry Glen Ross ( link ). Brilliant (but NSFW, language) "Always Be Closing" scene to give you a feel for it: ▶ this video
"Nice guy I don't give a f &k. Good father, f &k you, go home and play with your kids. You want to work here close!" ▶ this video Probably not the best "formal warning", but fun all the same.
That's really the only part of the movie worth watching to be honest. Save yourself 90 minutes and just watch that scene: ▶ this video
▶ this video Always Be Closing "The hardest thing in life is sell" link * * * The biggest step in my opinion is the psychological one. After that, everything comes in much easier than before.
It's a memorable line from a monologue delivered by the Alec Baldwin character in the movie 'Glengarry Glen Ross'. [scene] ▶ this video [transcript] link (Language is NSFW... unless of course your workplace is like the one in the movie.)
