Laugh and Learn from 6 Funny Sales Videos

One advantage social media provides professionals with is a daily opportunity to gain industry insight and observe trends for best practices through the multitude of video resources available. Accessing this information is common practice among sales reps and marketers, and many learn from videos and content produced by other reps and marketers who sell sales and marketing software. This monotony of “sales and marketing” content can get kind of stale, and the benefits from the content may not demonstrate their actual value.

Tommy Boy – We don’t take no (explicit)

Michael, Jim, Dwight Epic Scene

Brilliantly performed sales call role-playing from the crew of the hit show, The Office.  The best part of this is the seriousness the actors keep even when they are saying very ridiculous things. They role play and bring lightness to a very hot topic of sales training and sales calls in general.

Here the sales rep flips the switch and starts hanging up on the caller when the caller is not interested.  As we all aspire to get better, we sometime must learn to change the techniques and hold our ground and sometimes it is best to find an amusing way to learn this lesson.
