Favorite new holiday tradition? ❄️ Cold Calling Day ❄️ Last week our NYC office cranked up the holiday cheer to turn the usual hustle of sales calls into a festive office-wide celebration. From winter-themed games and fuzzy sweaters to good old friendly competition (with prizes on the line, of course), our team rallied together to make record calls and share the video magic of PlayPlay. Happy holidays from PlayPlay NYC! ☃️ (Fortunately, no Santas were harmed. Unfortunately, no one won the lotto that day.)
