The Hard Truth About Traditional Product Demos

Let’s face it, product demos often miss the mark. You've probably experienced it: a one-hour session that leaves you with more questions than answers, and a sneaking suspicion that your time could have been better spent elsewhere.

Why Demos Don't Deliver

1. The Misuse of Time

A staggering statistic from CSO Insights shows that a mere 22-41% of a salesperson's time is spent actually selling. The rest? Likely caught up in demos that underdeliver. This isn't just inefficient; it's a missed opportunity to truly engage with potential clients.

2. Avoidance Tactics

Consider this: Forrester reports that 72% of consumers prefer self-service over talking to a representative. People want to explore at their own pace, without feeling the pressure of a sales environment.

3. Boredom Strikes

Remember the last time your eyes glazed over during a demo? You're not alone. With an average attention span shorter than that of a goldfish, it's no wonder traditional demos struggle to keep us engaged.

Reimagining the Demo Experience

Understanding the Modern Consumer

The modern consumer is savvy. They've likely done their homework and are more informed than ever. What they seek isn't a rundown of features but a clear understanding of how a product can solve their specific problems.

The Flaws of One-Size-Fits-All

Traditional demos often fall into the trap of treating all prospects the same. But a senior executive and a junior manager have vastly different needs. Tailoring the experience is key, yet surprisingly overlooked.
