The Wolf of Wall Street<\/em> in Real Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Belfort is famous mostly for his copious drug use and philandering, as depicted by Leonardo Di Caprio in Martin Scorsese\u2019s The Wolf of Wall Street. <\/em>But who was the “Wolf of Wall Street” in real life? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though selling comes innately to him, Belfort believes, based on his experience, that he can turn anyone, even those not gifted with his talents, into a world-class salesperson very quickly.<\/strong> He created the Straight Line System after Black Monday in the Spring of 1988 and started teaching mostly working-class young men and women to be exceptional closers. He was able to create wealth at such a fast clip that the brokers at the firm didn\u2019t learn any sort of respect or restraint, and at that point, excess in all forms reigned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belfort and Stratton Oakmont<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Belfort hit on the Straight Line strategy at Stratton Oakmont. After selling penny stocks to the middle class, he realized that he could make a lot of money selling five-dollar stocks to rich people. Belfort entirely changed the strategy of his firm (which at that point had only 12 employees) to focus on selling to the rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first commission that Belfort\u2019s team got from selling these stocks to the rich was by Danny Porush, played by Jonah Hill in The Wolf of Wall Street<\/em>. In real life, Porush made $72,000 off of it\u2014this was over 100 times more than average for a penny stock trade. This made Belfort sure that they needed to sell only to rich people. But after four weeks the Stratton Oakmont team hadn\u2019t closed a single other trade\u2014they weren\u2019t equipped to sell to rich investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He decided to hold an emergency training session in Stratton\u2019s boardroom to focus on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belfort explained that there are many different kinds of buyers, but we can categorize them broadly to help us understand which are worth our time and which are not. <\/strong>From there, if we follow specific principles laid out in the Straight Line System, we should have a great shot at success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a famous scene in The Wolf of Wall Street,<\/em> Belfort asks a young, cocky associate to sell him a pen, and the associate starts going through all of the motions of selling the pen: \u201cIt\u2019s the best pen ever, it\u2019s at a discount, you need the pen, the discount won\u2019t last.\u201d The problem was, the salesman has no clue about Belfort\u2019s wants or needs<\/strong>. At this point in the experiment, Donny bursts into Belfort\u2019s office. Belfort asks Donny to sell him the pen, and Donny asks Belfort how long he\u2019s been in the market for a pen. Belfort says he\u2019s not in the market, and so Donny just gives the pen back. There\u2019s no point in selling to someone who clearly has no need or want for it.<\/strong> It\u2019s a waste of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to qualify <\/strong>your prospect. Go through simple questions to make sure they\u2019re at least vaguely interested in something that you\u2019re selling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fate of the Wolf of Wall Street<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In real life, the Straight Line System, due to its power, destroyed Belfort and his firm, Stratton Oakmont. The Wolf of Wall Street, in real life, says he deserved to be completely wiped out because he had misused his gift for sales and the Straight Line System, which could have been a force for good, allowing anyone from any background to be successful. Instead, he used it to live out his adolescent fantasies of wealth and drug use, and he encouraged his employees to follow suit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belfort pled guilty in 1999 to fraud and related stock-market manipulation crimes and spent 22 months in prison. He still owes around $100 million to the U.S. government. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
