This classic 1939 Popeye cartoon illustrates the need for defending your prices and niche marketing. Popeye and Bluto have competing penney arcades located side by side. When a customer, Wimpy, approaches the first thing they do is cut their prices (six pennies for a nickle . . . seven pennies for a nickle . . . eight . . .). They even give their service away free to compete with their neighbor. Both Popeye and Bluto ignore the fact that their products are different. Finally, they destroy (cartoon violence) their products in the "Fight of the Century" with Wimpy charging a dime each to hordes of new customers. The moral of the story: when you cut your prices the only one who wins is the customer . . . and they won't win very long if you go out of business.

The Video
In 1951 Fred Astaire danced on the walls and ceiling in one of his popular feature films. That famous scene becomes the focus of this fun meeting opener. The schmaltzy music has been replaced with trip-hop from today's young composers. As Fred dances from the floor to the walls and then to the ceiling and back, we see graphics of thought-provoking quotations from poets, writers, scientists, and more.
The video comes with a reproducible participant handout with the twenty quotations and suggestions for use.

The videos
Ed (Academy Award winner James Dunn) takes a day off and goes shopping. Each part of the series details an adventure he has at a retail establishment. Some of the clerks he meets are helpful. Some are not. Some of the clerks upsell him and some sell or try to sell him additional products to go along with his purchases. And one clerk so irritated Ed and a friend that they leave the store and will probably never come back. These three to five minute videos are ideal for sales and customer service workshop discussion starters.

Company President Harvey Snodgrass talks to a salesman for a production company while flying back from a business trip. When he gets to his office he passes on a business card and communicates information about producing a sales video for the company . . . or at least he thinks he does. As the information is passed on to others up and down the grapevine, it gets twisted about and changed from a sales video for the company and becomes 500 electric toasters for Christmas gifts for clients. This original production from 1962 has been re-edited for today's audience. It comes with a list of discussion starting questions concerning communications in your organization. The movie is funny and contains many character actors from the early 1960s.
Part of the Clear and Concise series, Goals and Goal Setting focuses on the phrase "Goals fill needs." Easy to understand illustrations explain goals and how they work: An empty pitcher represents your needs. Your goals fill those needs. 
This is a great short motivational video. Using the concept of climbing as a metaphor that can be applied to the workplace, viewers will learn that you may be able to climb pretty high on your own, but— especially if you run into a problem— it takes team to get to the top.

This lively tune from the Swing Era exemplifies decision making.

"No prince, no king, no president has ever lived a better life than I have!" From growing up in Butte, Montana to being the most famous dare-devil in the world, Evel Knievel didn't know the meaning of the word "fear." Bobby "Evel" Knievel always lived up to his belief, "If it is possible, it is done. If it is impossible, it will be done." 
We live in a world of differences. But when we refuse to acknowledge the value of differences, conflict can result. A team grows strong by acknowledging its members for their unique backgrounds and abilities. Without those unique differences, there would be no meaning to teambuilding. Everyone would have the same skills, the same point of view.
