* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While Hank doesn't want Bobby to take shortcuts, his and Joe Jack's method does work to get people to buy a grill, but the problem is that they don't care to learn anything about the grills themselves.

* YankTheDogsChain: As if it wasn't enough he had to deal with an irate crowd when his less-than-honest sales method is revealed, he then loses a near-insurmountable lead in it when he was ''minutes away'' from winning, '''''already celebrating it.''''' Needless to say, he ''immediately'' starts drinking when the trailer park owner orders enough for Hank to win.

Added DiffLines:

* AwesomeButImpractical: Joe Jack and Bobby's showmanship and smooth talk do a great job of endearing them to the customers and getting immediate sales. However, because they don't pay attention to the product capabilities and know which ones would actually be a right fit for the customers' needs, they wind up selling a lot of grills and accessories that don't satisfy the customers and result in most of them coming back to Strickland to complain.

* BoringButPractical: Hank's sales method in a nutshell. Sure, anyone can sell a grill with some smooth talk and lies, but Hank prefers to let the customers find out themselves if the grill they want is right for them by reading pamphlets, discussing it with friends and family for a second opinion, and coming back if and when they decide that they truly want the grill. It wins him the day when a customer from the start of the episode comes back well-informed, and decides to switch his ''entire trailer park'' to propane.
