Are Automated Demos Getting the Job Done? - Great Demo! and Doing Discovery

Are Automated Demos Getting the Job Done?

Sadly, not enough!

 

Most focus on the least important idea:

how the software works.

 

And they ignore

what problems need to be addressed,

why it is important, and the

value of making the change.

 

Use these attributes and assess –

 

Setting Context:

Who is this for (who should watch it and why)?

 

Problem Identification:

What problems are being addressed (or need to be addressed)?

 

Solution Presentation:

What solutions are offered?

 

Value Communication:

What is the tangible value of making the change?

 

Length:

Is the length consistent with the objective of the demo?

(E.g., Vision Generation vs Technical Proof vs Training)

 

Call to Action:

What do you want your prospect to do?

 

Simplicity:

Does it communicate a message that can be easily retold?

 

Clarity:

Is it easy to understand?

 

Engagement:

Are prospects focusing on the demo or multi-tasking?
