A CRO has different requirements than a VP of sales, whose needs are different from the those of front-line managers, who also have distinct requirements vs their salespeople staff.<\/p>\n<p>Add presales players to the mix and you have another set of specific needs and wants. Include marketing, professional services, and customer success, and your complexity increases.<\/p>\n<p>One demo does <em>no<\/em> fit all prospect job titles.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, there are differences across a broad range of other prospect dimensions that need to be taken into account in your demos:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greatdemo.com\/es\/descubrimiento-y-demostraciones-a-lo-largo-de-la-curva-de-adopcion-tecnologica\/\">Curva de adopci\u00f3n de la tecnolog\u00eda<\/a>: Each category has specific needs, desires, and differing willingness to accept risk. A technology demo (or painful Harbor Tour) may actually be <em>preferido<\/em> by some Innovators. Conversely, the Early Majority will want extensive discovery followed by fairly detailed demos of the functionality they plan to use. The Late Majority will require \u201ccomprehensive\u201d demos as well deeper additional forms of proof (e.g., POCs and POVs).<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBurn Victims\u201d: These are prospects that suffered a failed implementation or the inability to achieve a predicted ROI. Discovery and demos for this group will require gaining a clear understanding of what happened previously along with demonstrated proof that these Burn Victims won\u2019t endure the same result again.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greatdemo.com\/es\/demos-para-ejecutivos-un-articulo-para-no-parar-de-aprender\/\">Executive<\/a> Briefing Centers (EBCs): These demos need to educate prospect leadership and staff about possibilities and solutions for the future.
