Driving & Striving: Going the Distance with Better Product Demos
Driving & Striving: Going the Distance with Better Product Demos
Demos allow revenue teams to tell the story of how they can drive and accelerate the revenue process. Are you driving in the right direction or are you getting lost along the way - and leaving 💰 behind in the process?
We sat down with Jaakko Iso-Järvenpää, VP of Sales & CS @ Airbase, Scott Barker, Director of Strategic Engagement @ Outreach, and Jonathan Friedman, Co-Founder & CEO @ Demostack to talk through tactical ways your revenue teams can accelerate revenue with better product demos.
Key Discussion Topics
Communicating Value Sooner
Tailoring the Product Story
Enabling More Team Members to Show Product
key takeaways
Jaakko’s Takeaway: Know yourself and know the customer
Scott’s Takeaway: There isn’t a stronger connection between two humans than storytelling; become a master storyteller and make sure your story is cohesive
Jonathan’s Takeaway: The product is your strongest pitch and demos shouldn’t be something you work around but rather something to amplify your story
Know your audience, read your audience, engage the room
Show your audience you understand their need and have the solution
Demo isn’t just a step in the sales cycle; it greases the wheels for the entire user experience
