Top 5 Insane Internal Sales Videos
It's Friday afternoon, so I'm posting five marketing-made music videos that feature mostly "internal" talent (i.e. sales and marketing folk) doing things that make you wonder: "what were they smokin'?"

These people are having WAY more fun than marketing folk should be allowed to have. Note: the good part starts at 1:13! Check out the guy in the white shirt in the background trying to do something resembling a dance. Reminds me of the opening scenes of the movie The Jerk...
