World's Funniest Sales Blooper Videos
In this blog, we mostly talk about B2B sales. However, there's a whole world of B2C where lots of selling action takes place.
One of the most "traditional" of these environments is the home shopping networks, where the time-honored art of the carnival pitch is still practiced.
However, because those channels are live, and on the air all the time, there's a visual record of selling bloopers -- the kind of thing that, when it happens during a B2B sales call, you're really glad that you aren't on camera.
Anyway, I've collected 9 sales bloopers from various shopping channels along with an honest-to-goodness (and very rare) B2B sales blooper that got caught on a security camera.
I think you'll find all of them amusing. (My favorite is the one with Paula Abdul in it.)
