The purpose is ensure the sales representative does not make any false claims, promises, guarantees, or high pressure techniques. Consent of the prospective customer would be necessary of course, this

Yes, it is legal. Video and also audiotaping of someone is always legal with the consent of all the parties to it--i.e. of all the people being recorded. Just make sure you get consent in writing, so as to be able to prove it: audiotaping without consent can violate the wire-tapping laws.
