Glengarry Glen Ross provides a ruthless portrayal of American sales culture, where negotiation is framed as a winner-takes-all contest. In a memorable scene, Blake, a corporate sales trainer, announces a sales contest with brutal terms: first prize is a Cadillac, second prize is a set of steak knives, and third prize is termination. Blake employs coercion, threats, and financial incentives to motivate the sales team, demonstrating an aggressive, high-pressure negotiation style that prioritizes immediate results over long-term relationships.
