Demonstration
Workshop
The sales person has done his or
her best and now it is
down to you to
give a live demonstration of your solution.
You know the software and hardware like the
back of your
hand and you could talk about it and
show off your solution
for hours. But is that the best way
to demonstrate your technology? How do you give
an
effective demonstration?
This workshop explores the attributes of an effective demo.
How to grab people's attention and then keep it while you
highlight
the real benefits of your application. While every company's
software and hardware solutions are different the structure and
rational behind an effective demonstration is common across a wide
range of different industries and solutions.
In many technology companies the pre-sales
support team learn how to give
a demonstration by watching others give one and then following their
example.
This leads to a tremendous variation in the
quality and standards of
demonstrations within the organisation. In addition, the fact that
it is
technically minded people who are giving the demos can mean that the
are
often far more interested in the technology than your customer’s
business.
While your prospective customers are far more
likely to be interested in
solutions to their problems than the ins and outs of your
technology.
The key of a good demonstration is to adopt the pyramid principle
which is
familiar to every journalist. In demonstration terms this means
doing "your
best bit first"
Don't demonstrate your technology and expect
prospects to see the
benefits.
Work with them to help them solve their problems and
introduce
them to new technology that will help achieve their vision of
success.
By attending this workshop you will gain a clear understanding of
what
works
and what doesn't and you will develop a structure for your
demonstrations that
you can use again and again.
