The Office is an underrated show about sales. Michael is the classic manager who was an amazing IC but pretty bad as the boss. Dwight embodies the lone wolf rep who is a little strange but crushes their number. And every rep can identify with Jim's transition from "I'm just here to get a paycheck" to seriously leveling up his professional accomplishments and confidence in his biz acumen.

I did an objection handling workshop for our team and referenced Michael's impeccable job of boxing Jim into a corner and getting him to agree to go to dinner (without which, btw, we wouldn't have the masterpiece episode that is the Dinner Party) - clip here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3QCELI1kIo

AGREED.

The sales calls the team would go on (Jim, Dwight, Phyllis, Stanley, Andy) were actually very relatable sometimes. As simple and dumb as they seemed. Some of those moments were genuinely how it goes down.

Love this! I had already watched the show a couple of times through before getting into sales, now some of the most badass moments for me are when Michael shines as a salesman.

It's one of the worst representations of the sales profession out there.  Unless you run a casino and you are tired of the grind and want to cheat people out of their money by selling penny stocks.

You obviously sell a good product, not everyone is as fortunate. I have had terrible sales jobs that was very vapor-ware esque. This is a scam company portrayed, but sadly they do exist. However the morals as portrayed by Ribisi in the movie and remorse is real, and powerful
