(I significantly edited/enhanced the audio & video for better ASMR effect).
Please note that I do not endorse the company or products, I'm very critical of MLMs - but I thought this sales pitch demonstration was really relaxing (I love being sold something, not sure why but it gets me in a trance).
I know, right? I watch so many videos that are really relaxing and ASMR-heavy but whose actual content is awful garbage. MLM, chiropractic, osteopathic, homeopathic, crystal healing and other total nonsense sends me off to sleep or relaxes me like nothing else. This salesman's techniques for roping people in are classic MLM grift. I'm going to sleep well tonight!
Imagine this guy running a sales pitch and the asmr makes the person listening fall asleep.
But you still shared it. So 👎
@@noecarrier5035 I kind of wonder if is the ASMR aspects of woo that pulls people in and convinces them that something is magical and working. ASMR can have a bit of a hypnotic effect. People looking for ASMR are aware of what it is- people who are not aware, might get sucked in because of its effect.
@@MrJfortun I've often had the very same thought. The ASMR effect seems to play into the mutual grooming thing, like we see other apes doing, and the body rewarding you for getting it. Many aspects of religious activity and interaction, the rituals and ways of speaking, provoke ASMR. Now, correlation isn't causation, but I think it certainly plays a role.
If they did that right, both the financial advisor and client are supposed to get richer, but I suspect only the financial advisor got richer, that time.
Spectacular
🤣🤣
Its because he didn’t apologize for his sandwich breath
Amazing.
Well the advisor didn't mention the important stuff: Chevrolet, Zebra and Honesty!
As someone who has worked at Home Depot, I can tell you confidently that it’s not politics that prevents you from making 6 figures. It’s the fact that you work at Home Depot.
Lol
It’s relaxing when you aren’t the one getting messed over.
idk how do you know he isn't enjoying it? he seems like the type of dude to watch dudes plow his wife from the closet.
@@alexanderovenchkin7065 lmao
This is an amazing comment
Well, that escalated quickly.
Same thought! LOL
It makes sense that MLM and pseudoscience make good ASMR material.
If you speak calmly and softly to someone it makes them feel at ease, and more susceptible to your trickery.
That's why Jehovah's Witnesses are so successful :)
@@pochito_javiercito This makes sense now, I had one at work that was a leader in the local church. He had a very calm voice and was very meticulous working with precision parts.
Not found of the religion, but the guy was nice and never tried any recruitment on me atleast. Then again im an atheist and skeptic so i guess he knew it was a lost cause lol.
I commonly lead mlm sales people on just to get some good asmr out of them. Or phone sales people, I'll listen to them all day, I'll never buy anything
Very well said. Make people feels relaxed and at ease enough to where you can pick their pockets without them noticing.
I also like hearing people talk about stuff I don't know anything about, so when you get people rambling about some crackpot nonsense it's like I'm hearing about something for the first time.
The fact that the “recruiter” didn’t even acknowledge the gentleman had been working with a company for over 20 years is just a subtle tell about how little they really care for the person and their well being.
So true, good catch
To be fair, this video seems a bit dated and back then, I think it would have been more normal to work somewhere for a loooong time.
Best way to get out of debt is to not get into debt.
There is such thing as good debt, money owed but using it to build wealth. That’s how a lot of long term wealth is built. You need to take risks to get reward.
@@kayto_ Absolutely correct. Sadly for 95% of the population debt is trouble. But that's what funds the existence of banks and they employ millions.
@@deviantgameblamer9980 this is also true. Debt can be a tool for making money, but a lot of people don’t have the financial education to utilize those loopholes and end up in a vicious cycle. I wish financial education, real financial education not basic Econ, were part of academia. But it does not serve the gov’t or banks to have an educated population, so that will happen never 😭 luckily folks have tools to educate themselves, but it’s hard to know where to start when you don’t know what questions to ask.
@@kayto_ I think uni students and even high school students need to be encouraged to read portals like McKinsey Insights and similar. That will expose them to a world many would have no knowledge of.
@@deviantgameblamer9980 That resource might be great for business execs, but it looks really out of touch with helpful information for everyday people. I would check out channels like ‘Meet Kevin’ and ‘Graham Stephan’. Everyone should of course not trust everything you watch on UA-cam, but this is the next big space in education and there are a ton of fantastic financial educators you can find. These two have tons of educational or current (same day) news material references. Been watching those two amongst others for years.
This was unintentionally anxiety inducing.
Indeed
@@dannybenhur6123 just wanted to relax, now im in debt oopsie lol
I love how they appear interested in your life to get you on board. I see you Mr pyramid I see you 🤣
That was SO Mark Corrigan 😂
I had someone try this on with me in the early 2000s. It sounded like a pyramid scheme and the pitcher came across as predatory
Notice how he asked :" what is the amount you would like to make a year? " and at the end, wouldn't you know it, they've had success stories with people making more than that 😂
"What do you do?"
"I shovel shit for a living."
"And what do you like about it?"
"I just like moving shit from one place to another with a shovel."
"What dont you like about it?"
"I'm shovelling shit."
Interviews are often such bogus. 99% of people dont love their jobs..yet have to pretend they do just to get in the door at another slightly less shitty job.
hilarious
@@asap5629 funniest shit i've read in a while
Dying laughing at this
As much as I hate to admit it. I am going to bet 70% of this world is like this. It’s hilarious but it’s kind of sad
My father is a pediatrician and he’s been in an MLM for longer than I’ve been alive now (21 years). Guess what? He’s lost hundreds of thousands - if not millions on it. We have a basement full of his CDs and products which he refuses to throw out, and all these planning goal boards. A few months ago I questioned his business and he said “look, here’s what all those negative people don’t tell you,” and laid out the whole pitch they do. Maybe it’s because I started off critical and completely hostile towards MLM’s, but I instantly pointed out any flaw and by the end of it after asking in detail all the shit he has to buy monthly and all the shit people under him have to buy and how many people he needs under him, I showed him how impossible it was to even break even - let alone make more money than the 300k salary he already has, plus all the money he could SAVE and be richer even now.
We live so comfortably and I’m sure it’s annoying for someone as privileged as myself to complain, but this horrible evil shit can get anyone. My father was a physician making so much money right when he came to America in the late 90’s, yet it took one colleague of his and no one being persistent or persuasive enough to stop him for him to stick to this and waste not only his own time and money, but many others who he’s approached and brought on his team who have left him now. The only benefit I can see is he became very social, positive, and motivated to do stuff, but his positivity is toxic and he sounds fake many times - like a salesman, not a genuinely happy person. He’s motivated and healthy now which is good, but always sleepy and restless.
I wasn’t even able to understand because I had not even been BORN when he started, but please prevent your loved ones and anyone else from falling into these traps. Not just for yourself, but for all others who will be enticed by this complete and utter crap. Sorry for the sob story, this type of shit just rubs me the wrong way and hurts me so much, because it’s effected a loved one of mine and he’s hurt other’s livelihoods because of it.
I’m really sorry to hear this. It sounds like you love your father, and have sought to honour him by telling him the truth. I’m a little bit older than you, but not by much (about 15/20 years or so). I work with people in very similar situations. My point is this - take heart. People seldom change their mind in the moment when you challenge them. It may well be that his own son challenging him had more of an impact than you know. Be patient, and honour your father in the months / years to come. Gently challenge when appropriate, but trust that the yeast is at work in the loaf.
My grandpa spent 12 million on race horses so rip
@@rankoss3437 i think that if someone is rich enough to throw away 12 mil like that, then it's certainly not a lot of money for them
your dad makes 300k?????????!!
@@ecco-tom-dase3506 before taxes, he’s an older long time physician.
I fell asleep, then woke up with a timeshare.
Lol. Brilliant!!!
Man, the hand movements & pointing w/ the pen is so relaxing. Don't know what it is. Been experiencing that since I was a kid going to car dealerships w/ parents and watching the salesman go thru paperwork. Anyone else?
Omg yes! Nothing is more relaxing to me than people pointing at things while they read. Such a bizarre sensation
Yeah I gotchya.
You're definitely not alone. Hand movements are triggers for sure.
Its gotta be the shit they put into us as kids. I'm 34 how old are yall?
Yes, I remember my kindergarten teacher writing and I got asmr sensation
So relaxing to see honest men getting scammed 😂
Bald guy is actually vice president of that company. Don't worry, like someone else said he's even worse than the snake oil salesman.
@@lotharschramm5000 thank god cuz this was stressing tf out of me lol
@@lotharschramm5000 jus curious, how do you know that?
This exact company was the reason I looked this up. I sat through hours of the pitch with no intention of signing up and honestly, had a great day. I don't hear how great I am and how awesome the future will be very often so, I'm guessing that plays a huge role.
I hope you didn’t sign up
Yay fam I'm not the only weirdo who loves listening to pitches without ever signing anything. 😅
Lol!
This might be worse than the “I did some healing” guy

@@joearnold6881 na
@@njan2008 look up “pyramid scheme”
@@joearnold6881 meme
I'm so so so so glad I was warned early on about MLMs because when I was at Kroger this one time this guy complimented my shirt and we made small talk and he seemed really interested in my life and then invited me to go get coffee because he was looking for someone to "fill a role in his business". Yeah...it was an MLM scheme. First red flag was after talking with the guy for 2 hours over coffee, I still had no idea what the business was about or the name of it.
Yikes. A Mary Kay lady got me the same way in Publix. A compliment on something I was wearing, then small talk, then an "opportunity to have your own business" 🙄 It took months of ignoring her calls before she gave up.
@@tltinatl Luckily for me as soon as he invited me to a "private conference" I knew immediately something didn't sit right so I did some research, found out it was an MLM, and straight up told the guy, I want no part of this.
Hes making 60-70k at home depot and isn't satisfied?
Just thought the same thing
He wanna be a bazillionnaire
Just wait until he finds out that he could be making 500k and still wouldn’t be satisfied.
I'd hate to see what living expenses are like in his area. In my city the store manager doesn't even clear $60k.
It's called entitlement. I deserve better, and I want someone to GIVE IT to me. Instead of actually earning it through hard work, merit, and even risk taking.
This is the part that really got me….
Salesman: here’s our big flag on the day we went public on the stock market and got to ring the opening bell and….
Guy: I’ve heard of the stock market, Home Depot is in it too..
oh you're a business? yeah, Home Depot is a business too
One of the best lines
Lmaooooo I’m crying 🤣
I love this because it shows how low people's opinions are of other people. He probably realizes how dumb that sounds but it is his genuine low opinion of what an average guy is like. If he is a salesman as well and not just an actor then it is even worse because he is affectively saying the people he will be trying to recruit are idiots.
But Home Depot IS in the stock market. Joke's on you.

Dude has a class ring on. You better run
Yeah what is class ring?
Im not from america
@@lysergicaciddiethylamide759 the ring you buy to show what university you graduated from and what year. It's a sign of peaking I college.
@@dianeaishamonday9125 ooooh
Ok ok
👍🏻thanks for the insight
The first part gave me anxiety like it was a job interview. Hate when people ask me in depth questions about a very simple job that (let's be real) I only have because I need money instead of actually having a passion for something like working the gardening section at Home Depot.
Honestly I think most of us have that same anxiety. Like I'm at an entry level job not because I'm so passionate about it. I'm doing it because I need to. If I didn't I'd be relaxing on the beach as these MLMers say lol
All sales guys a have a repertoire of about 12 words, and they all just mix them up and repeat them, and it’s ends up being a load of nothing
I love how the salesman tries to act like he's listening, but constantly cuts off the prospect customer and doesn't let him finish any of his answers. Also, it's insane to me that despite MLMs being known scams since the 80s are still going strong today. MLMs feed off of false hope and "get rich quick" thinking which is never smart. I imagine the same people who buy into MLMs think they will win the lottery someday.
this is a training video it's not an actual client
You mean we won't all win the lottery someday?
These deals will always exist in some form
The big gold sovereign ring hypnotises the victim into thinking the salesman is a financial mastermind
Think there's a lot of truth in that. A lot of consultancy companies tell their staff to wear expensive watches to make it look like they're successful
It's a freemasonry ring. He is wearing it for a different reason.
I was almost pulled into this exact mlm before my cousin told me about his experience with them. They didn’t stop calling for nearly 6 months with different numbers
People say the guy is honest, but this is a training video, he’s actually Vice President of the company. Even worse than the guy he is being ‘interviewed’ by
😂 I knew something was wrong when he said he made 70k a year and wasn't satisfied.
@@barisondude7673 genuine question, what made it feel off that hed be making $70k and not satisfied?
@@verom8657 I was under the impression these schemes are for people who hav no hope or proper income,and video appears like it's from some 8 years ago. So the way he said home depot garden department frowned and said 60,000 to 70,000$ a year made me start laughing. And it all seemed very fake.
@@barisondude7673 ohhhh ok 😂 thank you sm for answering:]
I love to listen to sales pitches. Never spend any, but let them think you might.
Reminds me of the finance guys at car dealerships with my dad buying a car. Always was the best unintentional ASMR
its bizarre to me, the car sales people i've dealt with barely know more than whats on the sticker but the finance people know their stuff inside and out
Anyone else find scams and stuff hypnotic? Like Indian tech support scams too. Like there's something about someone desperately trying to convince you of something aha
Yes. I love that Unintentional ASMR posted this. There is so much to “ASMR.” It’s almost as if such an intense comcentration of mundanity creates a tiny tear in the fabric of reality, to where those who are tuned in can catch a glimpse of the divine, sitting right behind some old dude eating a pizza roll, or a lady talking about curtains. 😂❤️. But yeah, this is like being a fly on the wall, who gets a tiny fly boner from watching humans spiral out of comtrol in a nonsensical MLM fugue.
You always get the softballquestions asked of you, questions where it’s a no brainer but if the questioner asks enough of them, it’s as if they’re subliminally building up your propensity to answer in the affirmative automatically. This is literally a discussion of all of my least favorite things. Amazing.
I think it's from all the crap they've put into us over the years. I'm 34, how old are yall?
MLM is life devastating, personal experience., but I agree his voice has asmr touch...
can you describe what happened to you? how did they nail you? thanks!
I think this is very relaxing in practice, but not on paper-its like the idea of scamming gets me too worked up to relax. This would be, however, a great intentional roleplay (perhaps with some tongue-in-cheek)
I remember when my "friend" tried mlm on me. It was 1:1 this video. at the same time i was annoyed that he fell for that BS but listening to this pitching was kinda relaxing like asmr
nope. sorry. not this one.
The most relaxing mugging I've seen!
I usually make financial decisions financially
"I know it sounds pretty glamorous, but it's business as usual at Primerica."
"As far as I can tell, your entire enterprise is little more than a solitary man with a messy sales pitch which may or may not cause tingles"
"And with Miguel's help, we'll get those tingles"
Kramerica.
Haha. I sat through this pitch over 20 years ago. When I showed up for the meeting I thought I was gonna be buying insurance
Something similar happened to me in my early twenties. I thought I was going to pay a manageable monthly fee for access to legal representation in case I ever need it. Turns out the guy only wanted me to sell it under him. He actively ignored my explicitly stated interest in buying the company's services. That's a red flag. Insurance companies should sell insurance.
Same. I just wanted their services.
So, save four families $150 a month and they'll pay you thousands of dollars? Okay...
Everything he explained in A vs B is accurate, but no need to pay a company to do it. And definitely no reason to ruin yourself to sell it FOR the company.
I remember Primerica!.... from their last scam sale pitch video that was taken off YT.
I used to work at Best But when I was a teenager, and on two separate occasions, about 6 months apart, 2 customers tried to get me in with Primerica.
It was the exact same pitch. “We’re trading on the stock market. 9% interest in your investments. (They told me my investment would double every 7 years) $1.2 by the time you retire. You’d make $x.xx working just part time” etc etc etc
I feel like me and my coworkers were prime targets. Young naive kids who have a knack for sales.
Even then though it seemed too shady for me to literally buy in to (why would I have to pay to work for someone???)
mmmmm......Best But?
My sister told me her teacher hired them to do businesses selling insurances. I told her that back in my day it was called Primerica. She said that's what her teacher was pushing.
I went to him personally to get my sister's money back and scolded him for taking advantage of young people.
lol im listing to this dosing off. About 15 min in all of a sudden I instantly wake up and realize I'm listening to a pyramid scheme.
As long as Garden dude stays quiet, this is relaxing. The MLM guy is like the Bob Ross trapped in Madoff's body
More like Bob Ross' voice, Madoffs schemes and Will Arnetts body
Garden dude 🤣
‘If you did all of that, you would make 3700 dollars’
‘…wow…’
lol the awkwardness is palpable. I would be having an existential crisis if I was in a one on one MLM pitch
My best friends entire family is in Amway and was trying to take me through the process for months. I didn't know a thing about it but I said, hey, I'm not good at sales, but quick money that's passive, why not. Began the process. Immediately backed off when they wanted to take me to the "conference" that all the new people attend (in reality it's a cult room).
Interviewer asserts his dominance with the quick corporate tone. How would he react if the interviewee responded with the same?
which timestamp? i want to see where he does it
I used to work in the Home Depot garden department 😆
Lol, I liked how he compared it to real estate. I’m a real estate agent and I low key see a lot of parallels between mlm and real estate. But it’s not quite as bad.
I'm tired, at first I read "but I'm not quite as bald" LMAO
With real estate it seems like you have to be very good at selling yourself to people given the seemingly fierce competition. It's definitely salsey, but many more people can actually make a good living from it.
Real estate is so so weird in the US. It takes someone from abroad to see how weird it really is since you just don't know any better.
Every time I hear him say “make sense?”, I want to respond with “No, no it doesn’t.”
I can't explain it, but that community college class ring is instrumental to the ASMR here.
4 hours later: "Do I pick my day passes to Disney from the front desk, or...?"
in this hypothetical scenario he makes like 65k a year, and gets home by 4:30pm? And he's here looking for a change?
He didn't mention that he started work at 2 a.m.
He makes more money than most college graduates and he works at Home Depot lol
I have a rage toward that salesman.
7:03, "It sounds good but what people don't understand is the gotchas."
*Turns to the camera with a knowing look*
I signed on for Primerica as a life insurance agent. What they don't tell you at a "meeting", is the agent is commission only, I had to pay Primerica 25 bucks a month to access the website to sell policies and had to pay 99 bucks for a background check. No hourly pay and no benefits.
Omg that sound terrible. Pay your job to let you work? There are better jobs.
How much did u make? They always say , "if you put in the work you will see the results"
When you see laminated papers, run.
I'm so fascinated by the mention of a company tv channel that broadcasts to the office. Must be terrible but probably pretty relaxing lol
I love how this guys answer is his 401k. “Ya ever taken your family on a vacation”? no but I got a 401k”. 🥴
He’s charging people to tell them how to make more money. That’s literally his entire business model.
How do people fall for this shit?
ponzi scheme at its finest
The lure is too great, the cognitive dissonance too strong.
Crazy that America still allows people who aren't qualified financial advisers to sell products like these.
I always come back to this video.
- sales guy looks at client
- "wowww..."
Nothing like getting told that your 401k is untrustworthy by a fucking MLM salesman.
I can't relax if I am procesing everything he says and avoiding being scammed, even if I'm only watching.
i felt like i was being interviewed the whole time. had me so damn nervous lmao
I need more content like this
Making financial decisions financially is the best way to make financial decisions.
Barbara J Briner was on to something when she talked about triangles, what we call triangles. Pyramids a have a triangle shape.
Primerica is obsessed by presenting itself as a legitimate buisness
idk why. I don't at all. but for some reason sales pitches , especially when you know it's a scam, triggers a hard asmr response for me. and it looks like I'm not alone
And I thought Dr. Saul Shaye was the most relaxing con artist in the unintentional asmr community.
Check out Michael Guzzio too
Reminds me when I sold cemetery plots, caskets, headstones etc....funnily enough, people will hand over money for scams like this, but funeral needs? Nope....hardest job I've ever had, most people don't want to buy this stuff until the person is dead and needs it
The most relaxing pyramid scheme I’ve ever witnessed
if anyone is curious this is an interview for a commission only sales position. Hes selling him the job
The amount of times he said "IRA" rather counteracted the relaxation that had occurred up to that point
We got to ring the bell.
Ok....
It was a big thing....
Wow!
I was pitched to join Primerica just like this (as if I was being sold a product) except even more transparent. Nowadays I'm in actual sales but it's hilarious that step 1 of his pitch is to pathetically establish "rapport" with his "client". Then step 2 is attempting to establish credibility of the business in the eye of the "client" 🤣 reputable companies don't have to do that. Even though I was young and naive when I was given this pitch, being told I was required to purchase a life insurance policy on the spot in order to join was my cue to never call Mr. MLM Scam back 🤦♂️
I'm just trying to figure out where the camera was located that took the first person perspective content on the right of screen......
He applied for a the job, but said he'd never heard of the company. Who doesn't research the company before an interview?
Virtually everyone. When you’re underpaid, you don’t care who you work for so long as the money flows. :(
@@NeonNotch huh 70k a year from Home Depot is underpaid?
Yea for sure
@@ironicchungles5912 I'm speaking in general, but depending on the situation and the cost of living, yes 70k a year is underpaid.
@@NeonNotch Unless you are living in LA, 70k is no where near "underpaid"

What's a good time to meet?

At least he was right about the life insurance part.
I love pyramid scheme ASMR, keep it coming.
please post any MLM content you find- I’m in the same boat as you, I love to be sold something. So tingly.
Same, I like talking to scammers because its oddly relazing to listen to people try to pitch me stuff, and I get to waste their time. Win win
@@brandons9027 haha yes, I'm always interested and have a lot of questions
if it sounds too good to be true it's usually too good to be true.
This video changed my life.
Man this guy is really good at making something sound not like a pyramid scheme
8:40 “the company keeps his $60,000 while his family only get $150,000” making it sound bad 😂
A Home Depot manager doesn't make $70k a year...
You gotta think about where they live. If this is in California I wouldn’t be shocked if he was making that amount, and, it would be rough to live on. Places like that you have to pretty much cut it in half to compare it to the Midwest. 35k-40k for retail management sounds about right.
Depends on where they live. Where I live they typically make 30k low end and 50k high end
Dam I pay 34$ a month (Canadian) so like 25 American for a life insurance policy, and it’s at 180k coverage atm. Insurance companies really love to screw you.
Plot twist: this guy speaks in quiet, ASMR tones to lull his victims into a relaxed state where they will sign away their life and paycheck.
Hiya! Been following your channel for a while, and just wanted to know if you accepted suggestions for content! It's not my content, but other unintentional asmr that I happen across and would love to share
"What are you most proud of ? Be modest."
- does he know what modest means?
This pitch hasn’t changed in 15 years. Apparently they’ve had 3,000 people that make $100,000 in 15 years as well.
Miguel now lives on skid row
Their company doesn’t advertise itself but it’s been around since 1977 and is on the NYSE and is one of the largest companies in this field, all without advertising itself??
