Salesman’s gross lack of tactics

A big shout-out to Grant, director of Grant McLellan European in Christchurch, for this week’s Friday Funny.  

He’s been in the car industry for about four decades and “continues to maintain an absolute focus on providing quality European vehicles to his customers”, according to his website.

It would appear Grant’s a bit of a Robert De Niro fan. But let’s hope none of his team display a similar lack of tactics to the Hollywood legend when he played a salesman in the 2002 film Analyze That

Nor, dare we say, a management style with plenty of pelvic thrusting and crotch grabbing when kicking some punters out of the dealership.

This video is far from “woke”, so – Autofile readers – you have been warned!
