Advice from a cold-calling salesman? Yes there is a use for employing strategies in the dog eat dog of raw sales, but apply it to the rest of your life?
This is like getting childraising advice from a mafia boss, marital advice from a special forces assassination squad member, etc.
Sure, since they operate at the extremes, they have some perspective, but invariably their situation doesn't apply to yours, who live in the "normal" world of "normal" interaction.
So if your job involves collaboration, then guess what, this is a shitty shitty approach. If your job involves knife fight budgetary battles and internecine middle management machiavelli warfare, well, yeah.
