There is a clear and concise message that listeners can take home. In this case, it is "Don't sell the product but sell the result".

3. Vocal Variety: Craig is effectively maintaining his pace in the speech so that audience don't feel rushed. He is emulating sales representatives by changing his pitch. Note: He asks following question immediately in a normal tone, after his conversation with first sales person "What is he trying to sell me?". He then shouts "The Car" with high tone to give emphasis on the answer. His command over voice modulation is worth praising.
