I'm in sales for a surveying/feedback SaaS co. Before demos I brand the survey/account with the prospect's company's colors & logo. During the demo I send custom branded, inline email surveys to a test gmail account to help my prospect understand the survey respondent POV. I also have to delete that test-survey email every hour so that the next prospect I demo isn't privy to who is exploring us. I often have to do 4-8 demos a day so as you can imagine that got old fast.

I wipe the inbox for my test gmail account every hour at the :45 minute mark using a ruby script. I don't automate the sending because it's part of the education of the prospect.
