You really need to watch the movie again. Their entire operation is based on high-pressure sales. True hackers.

I'll watch it again, and I'll be the first to admit that there are unscrupulous salespeople of all stripes -- maybe they're even the rule rather than the exception. But there are also honest salespeople who truly want nothing but the best for their clients, who refuse to cheat or lie, and who often get screwed by people who do.

I personally know very well one of these latter types, and just feel really bad for them because of how much shit they have to put up with, how much work they have to do for free, and because it's a really tough business to succeed in if you're honest.
