BEST SALES PITCH EVER - DON DRAPER SALES PITCH

"Good Luck at your next meeting" absolute PERFECT intonation, gesture and facial movement. God damn I love this show.

I like to imagine it's Pete gently playing the synth in the boardroom as Don speaks, helping to build the mood of the pitch with live music 😂

As a person in marketing /sales for 25 years.... This is the best sales pitch I have ever seen.

"Good luck at your next meeting"... that was as cold as ice and the greatest 'close' statement I've ever heard.

The way duck leans in like "good luck at your next meeting" is PERFECT, one of the best deliveries of any line I've ever seen

That musical theme just makes the whole scene.

"Takes us to a place where we ache to go again"... this dialogue is so deep and dope. Like he said "Nostalgia is like a Twinge in the heart" that we desire to feel it. Hats off to the writer 👏

Don almost sold himself on being a happy, content family man. Great scene.

I am surprised Jon Hamm’s career didn’t take off as high as he deserves. I would have seen him as the perfect James Bond. So versatile and charismatic.

Made me tear up just watching this missing my parents and my old life with them and family, now gone

When I saw this video was the first time back in the early 2010s, I was young, with no losses.. and I cried. After 2019, after having lost my mother to lung cancer, I see older photos of our family and my mom and I truly understand the meaning behind this scene. Beautiful, tragic in it's realism.

The brilliant irony of this moment, Don showing slides of him and his family for work, while he avoids going with them on a trip in actuality.

I worked with computer salesmen back when mainframes cost millions. Every good salesman was a showman at heart, with a penchant for theatricality. A good salesman makes you visualize yourself with the product.

Madmen is easily one of the top ten series of all time. The writing is incredible and it pushed the boundaries on a story line. The character development is fantastic. Perfect casting. Bravo.

That is easily one of the most powerful scenes in television history.

Just for this scene alone, the writer/director deserve an award. The words, sliding you back to those distant places, lost in the swirling eddies of time, Don's face, almost crumbling, showing the world of regrets, those shifting silent shadows of the past, such a jealous creature. Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again. A. E Housman.

Duck showing that, when he needed to be, he was almost as cool as Don: "Good luck at your next meeting."

Fantastic writing and acting. The look on the faces of the two Kodak men is priceless at the end.

My Mom and Dad had one of these, and this scene brought me back to my childhood. This pitch made me cry.

Selling emotions, some bloody good scripting here.
