One of my favorite movies “The Greatest Showman,” a musical film inspired by the life of P.T. Barnum, serves as an example of several fundamental selling principles. The importance and power of vision and storytelling is shown through the bold P.T. Barnum. Barnum finds himself growing up poor, but he dreams his entire life of creating a form of entertainment that would be something to be remembered.\u00a0 As he takes a leap of faith and opens his circus, he learns to communicate his vision to others around him with passion and enthusiasm.\u00a0 Thus, Barnum’s ability to be a storyteller helps him to grow his circus as he gained support throughout America.<\/p>\n
Next, buoyancy is seen throughout the movie.\u00a0 Buoyancy is the ability to stay afloat in the sea of rejection and setbacks that are faced by every salesperson.\u00a0 Throughout the movie, Barnum shows his buoyancy as he continues to bounce back, pivot, and never give up as he continues to face challenge after challenge.\u00a0 Another sales principle demonstrated in “The Greatest Showman” is positive ratios. This relates to buoyancy because Barnum shows his continual optimism and shifts his perspective to focus on success as he responds to his setbacks and failures.<\/p>\n
Finally, Barnum learns to have a good explanatory style that help him to learn from his experiences and pivot the circus in new directions.\u00a0 When he faces a challenge such as a negative review from a critic, he analyzes the situation to see how he can learn and grow from it.\u00a0 He then finds a new partner to the circus which leads to enormous success.\u00a0 In conclusion, “The Greatest Showman” is a great movie to watch to learn about how buoyancy is a useful tool in the sales process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
