Have ever met a sales person who wasn't thoroughly trained by their
employer before letting them represent the company?

Ben,

Since you have so much time on your hands, see if you can figure out the difference (~distinction~) between legitimate sales training and the type of ~training~ Werner Erhard and his Landmark inheritors make use of, that is, one which utilizes deceit, manipulation, and trickery. Here's a hint: Landmark's has roots in the old door-to-door, foot-in-the-door, traveling, snake-oil, predatory, encyclopedia, tent-revival, late-night-infomercial sales that have distinguished this country for generations.

Hi Ellen,

Long time, no see. I see you still have an impressive supply of
invectives to hurl at your nemesis. Anything else to add while you
are on a roll?

Examples of broken promises made in sales pitches:

Navy recruiter states that after 20+ years of service, you and your
spouse's medical needs will be provide cost free for life! Bogus! Our
congress has been slowly taking that benefit away from retired vets.

An appliance sales person talks of wonderful guarantees and warranties
on their washer/dryer set. Bogus! Took a letter to the company CEO
to get them replaced at no cost. Re-stocking fee?! Over my dead
body!!

Home builder company promised correction of discrepancies in our new
home. Bogus! Showed him my letter to the CEO of his company naming
him and listing the uncorrected discrepancies. He begged that it not
be sent and kicked off a flurry corrective actions. Problem solved.

So, I am no stranger to bogus sales pitches, Ellen. So, what's your
point? Did Landmark make you a promise and didn't deliver?

read how they are trained. get out of your already thinking and read
the article.

they use mind control techniques on the leaders of the program. then
the leaders of the programs have a much better time using mind
control techniques.

quite a while ago on rick ross someone mentiioned how the forum leaders
are told to sit down, stand up over and over till they are exhausted and
then they are told to sit down and stand up over and over.

its similar to how landmark give out the homework so people who have
been kept going all day and into the night dont have the time to rest
properly, it helps to keep them in line. to manipulate them easier.

hey, its the truth, i wouldnt expect u to believe it necessarily.

Ever watch videos of Marine boot camp, or Navy Seal training? Talk
about repetition and exhaustion! Now THAT'S tough! I doubt very much
that the rigors of what you are talking about come any where close to
that. A walk in the park by comparison.

We who worked on the training logistics teams know all about LONG
hours and lack of sleep. We were there long before the participants
arrived and long after they went home. And found it to exhilarating.
We would be lucky to get 2/3 hours sleep. Then get up Monday morning
and go to the day-job.

it may be a walk in the park to u, but if u read the article from
somone who has been there done that, he could see the control tactics
they were using.

i was wondering , what do u believe the control tactics that i would them
or just a walk in the park as u would call it doe for landmark and the
trainees ?

that is probably part of what the teams kept coming back. whether u realize
it not, i and the article has described mind control techniques.

u seem to have been just as exhililerated as the participants.

its is very possible and i dont see why not, that everybody that was there
got that high, exhilerating feeling.

do u believe that mind control techniques are possible in other places
, if not landmark ?

Why re-frame ~leaders~ and providers of ~education~ as salespersons in
the first place?

What relevance does military training have to ~education~ ?

Patrick was commenting on exhaustion imparing the judgment of folks.
My point is that many folks have far more rigorouse experinces and
function well.

hope this gets here. i have lost a reply button again.

my point that i was trying to make was, that landmark does use
mind control techniques and if u study it u will find that hypnosis
is one answer and i believe thee answer for how the programs work.

as you do, the participants get sleep deprived and still have all this
energy about them. its hypnosis.they keep u awake and interested and
energized.

u have stated that your participation in the programs kept u exhilarated.


if u hypnotise a crowd u get them all. im sure that feeling of
exhilaration u had and your friends had was in a sense addicting. its the
same with the new participants in the audience.

everybody under hypnosis is made to feel pumped and alive. and this
is also part of why people either sign up for more programs or come back
later for more.

hypnosis is a very powerful tool.

I addressed the question to you, Ben, because in the discussion about
~forum leaders~ working for a company that advertizes ~education~, you
have emphasized the notions of sales and of salespersons. So I ask of
you: Why re-frame ~leaders~ and providers of ~education~ as

I question whether 'many folks" do navy Seal training. And even
prospective Marines form a small minority of the population. -- I
suppose we could discuss whether we might mean the same thing when we
say that people "function well".

Hypnosis, my ass!!

Patrick, have you ever participated in an activity that was really
interesting and exciting.. that you would work around the clock to
complete... and feel exuberant about? No hypnosis about it!

Sometimes, I think you have had too sheltered a life. There's a real
world out there.

In my navy days, a team of us technicians were assigned to fix an
serious electronics problem on a ship alongside our own. We had just
three days to get it done before she deployed. After three days of no
sleep and gallons of black coffee and quick snacks, the ship deployed
on time. We were proud, exuberant and damn tired. More that effort
we all received commendations at a Captains Meritorious Mast of which
I still have the photos.

Hypnosis, indeed!!

all very logical. im sure people all over the world have dont stuff
that they were proud of and successful at and felt good about it.
it may be but im not sure the same kind of feeling u get from lgats.

u dont have to be hypnotized to feel good about something. u can be
hynotized , be indoctrinated , made to feel good about and be
released back to society to do good things for people. i cant imagine
why landmark would have of their people do bad things to other people.

Of course no. Yet in the discussion you responded to Patrick's
suggestion of mind-control techniques (specifically hypnosis) in
rosenbergist ~trainings~ by telling a ~story~ about exuberance (?) in
a navy, complete with an assertion that hypnosis had nothing to do
with such exuberance. Given our discussion of mind-control techniques,
I therefore ask whether your little ~story~ logically proves the non-
existence of hypnosis ?

I can see that in say the 1920s people may have associated
~leadership~ with sales. But subsequently management fads changed...
It doesn't seem particularly useful to me to see school-teachers and
university lecturers and other generic providers of Education as
selling stuff. So why convert a ~conversation~ about leadership and
education into a ~conversation~ about sales and sales pitches?

Nordstrop is like Sisyphus who pushes a giant boulder up and down a
mountain. Nordstrop will attempt to browbeat any one he can with his
self-serving questions till his dying day. Nordstrop cannot and will
not take time to piss up a rope, as it would distract from his strict
adherence to circle jerking others on this topic.

In other words, expect nothing but more self-serving circle jerkery
from Nordstrop.

Well, you and I traded a few comments. Then CJ-serena-CJ butted in
with her manipulative "Make Ben bad and wrong" agenda. Then it was
destined to go down the latrine.

I said what was so for me. Some will assert that I lie. Others will
beleive me. I don't control what others conclude, so I don't try to
"fix" it.

It will go down the crapper if CJ-serena-CJ involved! Her agenda is
to discredit and marginalize folks. I was going to add "...that
don't agree with her/him." But that doesn't apply because he/she
avoids stating opposing opinions. She just clamps her jaws on a
manipulating question and repeats it endlessly, calling it discusion
or debate.

Enlightened or not, I give short shrift to manipulators. Got better
things to do in my few remaining years.

Ben, have you considered that a simple and effective method of cutting
through this alleged "circle-jerk" would just involve answering the
straightforward and unambiguous question in a a straightforward and
unambiguous manner: Do you, Ben, still see it as necessary that
rosenbergist training logistics teams work long hours and ~experience~
lack of sleep?

> Just as bullheaded as you.

... but somewhat less optimistic about the redemptive ~power~ of open
~communication~ in a ~conversation for possibility~, perhaps...

Discussion -- yes. Debate -- yes. But what happens when participants
in a discussion/debate decline to make a ~stand~ for their ~what's so~
beliefs, yet prefer not to have them questioned?

> Enlightened or not, I give short shrift to manipulators.

Inviting posters repeatedly to piss up a rope or to ride into the
sunset doesn't count as manipulation either, in case you wondered.
