We all know the pith of the sale persons, feeling very secured, overly confident, having a great understanding of you and your needs - they could sell you their mother if needed. The two performers use and abuse of their selling talk and attitude, they pick cleverly and caricature all of their flaws for our amusement and “benefit”. The course of the show is well structured, just like a sale force seminar: not too long and not too heavy. They link good advices to become the best of yourself, as they put it, to be a better M.A.N. Money, Acquisition and …. Negligence.
The audience is “invited” to participate from the beginning with people beguiled or is that bullied (with a smile) into revealing their financial situation. Slick sales lines roll off the tongue from each member of this two hander, they are convincing they can sell anything, whatever which can you make earn money and they are convincing you will be convinced you are going to buy it.
They can take what they dish out. Their improvisation ability is impressive, they have answers to everything, even when asked “what are you actually selling?”.
Looking successful will bring you success, there is no shame in that - the enthusiasm is key. Singing and dancing demonstrate everything is possible. They push their secret sharing to showing some vulnerability with one of them doing his coming out on stage, but that was just a moment, as very quickly this selling face and attitude took over.
Serious matters are not forgotten; child labour, climate change, fraud and machismo are turned in a selling argument and the guilt is wiped out in two sentences and a lot of derision. It is very simple, the best way to make a better world is to become rich.
The pyramid scheme is demystified, what could be wrong? Pyramids were built by great people and great civilisation - it is a way to look at it…
“A castle built on mud will be only a one year long before collapse.”
This show is clever, interactive, funny, and the audience was captivated, not missing any of their selling mantras.
