Article for Straight North

I was recently invited to write an article on using humor for lead generation - for Straight North's "Lead Generation Insights" blog. I was flattered, but to be honest, felt a little out of my depth on the subject matter, since it's not something I cover every day. So, I just tried to have some fun with the topic...
