Literally mask off "use storytelling to turn your sales pitch into an epic tale to emotionally manipulate your client into buying your shit without thinking about it". That is barely editorialized that is almost word for word.

Sales is the fucking worst, I interviewed/trained for a scummy sales job once when I was desperate for employment, it was incredibly sleazy & I just left during lunch on my second day. The dude "training" us would just talk about how much money he spent on partying when he was in our position and how great a time he had all the while telling us to target lonely people, the elderly, and other vulnerable people since they were easier to keep on the line & pressure into buying the crap they sold.

Instead I got a job working 12+ hour night shifts, I was miserable but I didn't have to sell my soul

This company isn't quite that bad it was just the video that my department manager chose to start this call was antithetical to the only good things about this place. Rest of the meeting has been much less soulless.
