Mr Rogers shows us how to sell from the heart

I have a lot of respect for what Mr. Rogers has done during his career to help improve children's learning. He has provided great tools to help children deal with emotions and day-to-day problems including strife. I watched him when I was younger and your kids probably have watched him too. He even appeared as a guest on the animated children’s show Arthur.

This video is a great example of how a sincere sales pitch can do wonders.

Background: 1969, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) was in danger of getting their funding cut in half by Nixon because of war costs. Watch the effect he has on John O. Pastore, notoriously gruff and impatient.
