This was one of the most masterfully written episodes in the entire series. They managed to turn S1 Michael into a believably competent salesman while still keeping his awkwardness.

I remember seeing a comment about Michael’s character.

S1 Michael was extremely unlikable with 0 redeeming qualities, it was great to see them giving Michael more layers.

@akshaynatu6568 2 года назад

This is so ridiculously contrived. The client just went along with all of Mike's bullshit. "Oh sure, I'll have a huge alcoholic drink! Oh sure, let's order apps! Oh sure, I got time for baby back ribs!".......lol, nonsense. Anyone with half a brain would almost instantly see what Michael was trying to pull, and deftly revert the discussion back to price and bottom line.

@muskogeefisherman 3 года назад

Exactly.

@Adgeatic 3 года назад

The most important part is that it is Michael being his natural self. Sometimes people can have 'business tactics', but those always come from the human elements which in turn feed negotiation and reasoning. Sales pitches have always been just complex interpretations of natural human communicating.

Usually the person in charge of purchases in a big company get literally swamped with salespeople calls trying to present their pitch. In this case, he probably went in thinking "another boring hour of them trying to explain why I should buy their stuff and me just looking at numbers" But Michael knew his customer profile. You need to make yourself memorable or after the meeting is over, youre just another call, email, visitor who said the same thing as the 100 before you. By breaking the ice through humour he probably got Christian to open up about his personal preferences on the suppliers and what we see at the end was the final nail when he empathizes with the predatory chain suppliers running out the dedicated companies. Numbers wont do that. He had to start caring about the people in order to look past that. Thats why he just said meet me halfway. We dont even know if they presented their prices. Might actually have been a better deal than if Jan had continue her pitch on the "whats the bottom line?" question.

He’s the epitome of “promotion to mediocrity”, where you are essentially promoted to a position where you can no longer prosper, but merely get along with mediocrity (and since your performance is hampered, you no longer are considered for higher positions).

@malfaroangel3896 3 года назад

That’s actually how your supposed to make a sale. Establish a rapport with the potential client, gain trust and confidence and they are more willing to work with you. If you just spit out numbers it will bore them.

@Soshi12005 3 года назад

It’s more establishing a connection and belonging with the client. The client works for the county and you lived there your whole life so it’s an instant family connection if you play it right. Don’t take it business and instead personal - people always respond better when the person they are paying treats them personally

Man, I need to rewatch the entire office for the 5th time now. There's a lot of depth to Micheal's character, I think his Mom is responsible for a lot of his flaws, there are hints of it throughout the show. He's probably been alone his entire life, no real friends or family. When he finally gets to be with Holly is when he finally finds some peace with himself.

@redacted2275 2 года назад

He ends up with Holly because of his personal growth throughout the years he worked with those people at the office. He surpasses a lot of his traumas with the help of Jim, Pam, Dwight, Erin, Stanley, Jan... the ultimate proof Michael is ready and mature enough to a lifetime with Holly is when he ditches Todd Packer, the guy that he thought represented the best years of his life compared to his messy childhood... it's a long way for Michael, so great!

And the bond is huge because if the client ever does consider other options, you'll be the top of the list for who they look to.

Them knowing you'll be there for them and actually help means more than a small savings most of the time.
