Performance Sales and Training: Persuasive Presentation Skills to meet the challenges of today’s B2B Sales Environment
How long before your presales team gets to the “big reveal” in a customer demo?
If you’re not “starting with the conclusion,” you may be losing deals you don’t need to according to Gong.io’s analysis of 67,000+ SAAS demos.
Traditional demos typically follow a linear, end-to-end path going through set-up and a series of workflows before finally getting to end results and reporting. The Gong.io data shows this is an unsuccessful approach. Why?
In our Great Demo! workshops one of the core concepts we teach is how to flip this ineffective traditional structure and instead “Do the Last Thing First” for a more successful and conversational demo.
Great Demo! skills training helps organizations put the “Wow!” into their demos. Making them effective, crisp, and compelling – to engage and capture audiences within the first six minutes of a demonstration.
In this hands-on workshop, your team will learn critical new skills for engaging busy prospects, tailoring to their needs, and delivering a compelling message that drives the sale forward. Costly demo mistakes will be role-played by the instructor, as well as solutions. Participants will develop and deliver a live or web-based demo based on a real client opportunity, deliver it in a simulated selling environment, and receive valuable individual feedback and coaching for improvement.

What Great Demo! Clients are saying:
“…after your workshop in October, I delivered my first half-day and full-day demos for the same prospect. Just a couple of weeks ago we captured the signature and they will be a new client!” SC, (Association Membership Software)
“Got done with a demo…They asked to see one navigation and I showed them and asked if they wanted to see more. They said NO, they saw enough and wanted to buy. WOW!” Kirk Francis, SE (IBM Management Software)
“I really appreciated the training, and actually got to put parts of it into practice late last week at a
customer demo. Our executive champion who wasn’t able to attend said that they “heard just now from my team that you rocked”. Thanks again!!! 🙂 Scott H., SC (ITSM Software)
“Very informative and helpful for the entire demo process. I liked the flow of the meeting and how interactive it was for everyone.” Mike Muscatello, SC (Enterprise Software)
“The results so far are better than expected. Showing the most impressive part of my demo first helps
to have the prospect attention much more time.” Ulysses A, SE (Platform Virtualization Software)
“I learned a lot from the training and I’ve already applied a lot of concepts to my approach. It was a refreshing and different approach than what I have been used to so I thought the content
and your delivery were on point, relevant, and engaging.” Eden, SE (Platform Virtualization Software)
