1.    Someone posing as a newsboy interrupts at an appropriate time, yelling—”Extra, extra! Salesperson shot for asking for the order!” The emcee then explains that no such headline has ever been printed, that no such paper will ever be sold. No salesperson has ever been shot because he asked for the order. “You won’t get hurt because of it, and you might make more sales. So always ask for the order!”

2.    Three people are called to the front and given balloons to blow up. The emcee explains that each balloon represents the individual’s opportunity with the company. All blow together to see who can make the most of his opportunity. By prearrangement, one person tries in vain to inflate his balloon. The next inflates his but lets it go. The third inflates his balloon until it bursts.  The emcee then points out that the first person didn’t make anything of his opportunity, and that the second person let the opportunity get away from him. “But the third person burst the opportunity wide open. And that’s what we want to do-burst this opportunity wide open!”

3.    At a suitable time in the program a salesperson in the audience hollers—”I want to become a top producer. How can I do it?” The emcee has the man come to the front and stick his head in a bucket of water. The salesperson soon needs to breathe and struggles to get his head out. But the emcee holds his head down a few seconds longer so it appears to be a “real” struggle. After the salesperson gets his head out, the emcee says, “When you want to be a top producer as badly as you wanted to get your head out of that water, then you’ll be a top producer—that’s how to do it!”
