JPMorgan IBD Interview - MD in sell mode

Just had a final round interview with JPM today. Anyone know how common is for an MD to go into sell mode at the end of an interview? I'm not sure what to think since I was the first of 12 to get interviewed, but he actually admitted to trying to sell JPM at the end of it. Talking about the culture and the value of the networks, strength going forward, etc. Is this common? I've only had a couple other BB interviews and that hadn't happened yet, but I haven't heard back from anywhere so I don't know if it really means anything.

I know I used to think this was the case, when people would go into "sell mode" towards the end, but there really is no way to tell. A lot of the time, their sick of hearing your bs answers and just want to hear themselves speak, or sometimes they actually want to sell you. I would try to not stress out about it, since it's out of your control.
