TikTok's Deranged Alpha Car Salesman (w/FunkyFrogBait)
Introduction
Hey, before we dive into the main topic of this video, I need to give you a quick update. I have been posting a bunch of videos on my other channel, focusing more on current topics. If you’re interested, check it out and help me hit 100K subscribers—it would mean a lot! Also, JoJo Siwa's record label recently filed a false copyright claim against my parody of her song "Karma." This violates fair use copyright law, and to stand up against this, I released a new line of “Grownass Lesbian” merch available for all genders and sexualities. Even allies and straight people have their versions. The link to buy the merch is in the description. Now, on with the video!
FunkyFrogBait Joins the Channel
FunkyFrogBait recently joined me on the channel. As we discussed how to sell cars more effectively, this led us to review video content by Andy Elliott—a car sales trainer often compared to Andrew Tate due to his similar appearance and approach. However, Andy Elliott focuses specifically on car sales instead of more controversial areas.
Andy Elliott's Questionable Motivation Tactics
In one of his videos, Elliott tells a man selling around 25 cars a month that he should act as if his child was kidnapped and he needed to sell 50 cars to save them. The room was taken aback by this intense analogy. Elliott pushes the idea that the intensity of such a life-or-death scenario should drive car sales. This perspective, however, could lead to an unhealthy mindset.
Elliott’s techniques took another extreme turn when he focused on the physical appearance of car salesmen. He brought a man to the stage, made him grab his belly fat, and implied that physical fitness was mandatory for success in car sales. These strategies seemed less motivational and more humiliating, promoting unhealthy body standards.
The Gym Culture Connection
FunkyFrogBait and I discussed how Elliott’s views might fuel unhealthy gym habits. Gym culture already has tendencies toward excessive behaviors, leading to potential eating disorders similar to what is seen in harsh dieting practices. The idea shouldn’t be to endlessly shame oneself but to find a balanced, healthy approach.
The Impact of Intense Motivation Speakers
Elliott further extended his severe tactics by suggesting to one man that he wasn’t a “superhero dad” to his kids unless he looked physically fit, influencing listeners emotionally and psychologically. These types of extreme motivational strategies often backfire and necessitate a more nuanced dialogue around mental and physical health.
Sales Simulation
We did a quick simulation to see if we could apply these tactics:
First, I attempted to sell a car to FunkyFrogBait by inducing false panic. He strategically asked me to step on a scale before making a purchase, ending the negotiation.
Then, FunkyFrogBait tried to use the concept of threat, saying he had my children tied up in a car's trunk. I responded by calling the police.
Neither of us succeeded in selling the car, emphasizing that these extreme tactics aren’t effective or ethical.
Conclusion
Thanks for joining today. Remember, using extreme tactics isn't a sustainable or healthy approach to achieving sales success. A balanced perspective toward marketing strategies and personal well-being is essential. Thanks to FunkyFrogBait for joining me. You can find them on various social platforms under the same name.
