9) Billions
Following the cat-and-mouse game between hedge-fund rockstar Bobby Axelrod and U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades, Billions is more of a (semi-cynical) portrayal of ruthless business machinations and underhanded power plays than straight-up sales. But here, too, there is fodder for B2B sellers, especially in the character of Axelrod (aka “Axe”), whose keen sensibilities and intellect keep him a step ahead in the cutthroat world of Wall Street trading.

10) Ballers
If Dwayne Johnson is in it, I’m watching it. I love him. He’s literally the last badass left in Hollywood. Spencer Strasmore is a retired NFL player with a pill habit and a black mark against his financial planning license. He spends his time trying to convince current football players that they shouldn’t blow their money, which turns out, is not easy at all.
This show is based on two salesmen. There are so many lessons to be learned in every episode. No matter what happens, they always close the deal, handle outrageous objections, and party like rock stars. This is a show you can watch on a Sunday night and get fired up for work on Monday. It’s in the fourth season on HBO.

11) White Gold
This is an actual comedy which is produced by the BBC. This web series is set in Britain in the 1980s. This is a story set in Essex in 1983 of a "double glazing showroom." It is led by a salesman named "Vincent Wedtwick," who is a smart, confident, handsome, and charismatic man. He happily breaks all the rules if he thinks that this will help in closing a deal. BBC stated that " “it's a story of dodgy shenanigans, scams, and petty rivalries – alongside free-flowing drugs, cash, etc."
But, it also gives you a look at the evolution of sales with time. In 1983, the only way to generate more leads got narrowed down to wit, charm, perseverance, and a little bit of "stretching" in order to close the deal. This web series also displays the power of endeavor and competition in becoming a top salesperson.
Available On Netflix!
