Looking at David's pics it looks like you all had some fun. That is awesome. I am not great at this game but I am good at guitar. I somehow get confused with those buttons where on a real guitar I can play 20 notes per second... Nice pic indeed. Looking at David’s pics it looks like you all had some fun. That is awesome.

I personally don't like the vids of an internet sales rep in front of a computer unless they are entertaining and engaging. Kinda reminds me of the videos Microsoft is showing on the "I'm a PC campaign" now. "I'm a machine" :) What I have found to work best is filming a walk-around on the vehicle the prospect inquired about using the flip. Some of the guys are top-notch on the walk-around with extensive product knowledge and can do well personalizing an email with the video.

I guess since they are not as conversational, they don't get a lot of comments. Glad you get something out of them. :) @Jon - Billy and I are distant cousins. @Ian – thanks, most of the “best practice” posting are articles that I have written for different magazines.
