I like how the details of this guy's business are unfolding. Take a look at his profile for some good reading:

Wow, this guy is pathetic.
I assume you're also looking for lower cost? Post an ad at a local school with a film program. Those kids want to augment their resumes and are often more than happy to share their talent for very little cost.
I wasn't particularly impressed by her screencasts, but I'm pretty sure you're looking for something like http://demogirl.com/. You could also do it yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screencasting_software. If you're looking for an actual video (like the one you linked to) as opposed to a screencast, you might want to look into some of your local advertising agencies.
All things equal, I would rather see a girl, and I'd wager about 90% of the people here are in the same boat. My guess is that your audience is pretty similar to this one.
But note the first three words: all things equal. You should choose the best person for the job.

Go for Morgan Webb.
Far better you look at the behavioral competencies that will make a good sales person - start from there.

Also, more seriously, here is a video highlighting a professional ad service you can use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
Starting from your question, you seem to prefer girls.
Anyway, girls are better, and guys are better, too.
If you start to prefer a specific gender, you always exclude the other 50% of talented people.

You know, the letter 'i' is before the letter 'u'. He could just be used to giving the alphabetical order of things.

Do anyone know where I can get someone to make it. Any web 2.0 out there offer this type of service?
