3 Standup Comedy Clips about Selling
I thought I'd try something a little shorter than usual this week. Here are three standup comedy routines that, in addition to being funny, teach something worth knowing about sales. I have to admit that I'm a littel surprised that there's not more standup comedy about selling, since standup is very much like giving a sales presentation, and almost everyone in the world is either in sales or interacts with salespeople.
As usual, I've included polls so you can vote your opinion.

Comedian: Marie Bamford
In addition to being funny, this routine is instructive because her parody "pitch" illustrates the "salesy" voice and tonality that must be avoided at all costs.
