OVERALL OBJECTIVES

Establish a framework, including skills and processes, to create and deliver improved software demonstrations to increase success in the sales and deployment of your offerings.

Sub-objectives:

• Improve demonstration quality and effectiveness, by implementing a standard process and tools for demonstrations.

• Establish and communicate clear objectives for each demo.

• Increase probability of success for demo outcomes for real-life situations.

• Improve communication, preparation and follow-up between sales and presales.

• Reduce the cost of sales by using demos more judiciously.

• Increase the average deal size and/or sell additional products and services.

• Increase existing subscription expansion and renewals.

WORKSHOP DELIVERABLES AND SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will learn how to:

1. Determine the right content for a demonstration, based on the customer’s business needs and objectives.

2. Organize the content in a novel, logical progression that maps to audience needs and depth of interest – and engage and prove your capabilities within the first six minutes of the demonstration.

3. Prepare demonstrations using the new method.

4. Present demonstrations with the highest probability of success in achieving the desired

   objectives.

5. Manage a range of real-life situations and scenarios.

Participants complete the Workshop equipped with:

1. A newly constructed, highly compelling demonstration of your software, targeted specifically for a typical key scenario.

2. The ability to apply the method to develop equally targeted and compelling demonstrations for other scenarios, products, and situations.

The Great Demo! methodology delivers targeted "what's in it for me?" benefits right up front, followed by rapid, targeted proof, and then further, more detailed exploration in accord with the audience's level and depth of interest. This proven, highly successful method maps extremely well to the specific needs and constraints of audiences that can include senior management, middle management, end users, and IT staff.
