It’s best for folks to discover the merits of your product for themselves, and it’s up to you to make such a compelling core product that they are intrigued enough to explore it.
-
If you don’t know the competitive landscape, and the shoulder’s you’re standing on, folks are not going to be comfortable giving you their money, time or attention.

1. Show your product within the first 60 seconds
-
Folks who have a kick-ass product don’t spend five or ten minutes “setting the stage” or “giving the background.”
-
Their demos start with their homepage and quickly jump into the users experience. If a picture tells a thousand stories, then a product demo tells a million.
-
Show your product immediately, and if you don’t have a product to show don’t take the meeting.
-
2. The best products take less than five minutes to demo
-
the better the product the LESS time it takes to demo.
-
3. Leave people wanting more.

7. PowerPoint bullet slides are death
-
take a moment to think about the question. You can even say “Hmmm… that’s a good question. Let me think about that for a second.” Folks appreciate a little consideration when someone takes a
question. -
if you don’t have an answer be honest and say you don’t. There are many ways to say this including: “I’m not really sure, I’m going to have to think about that for a bit and get back to you,” or “I’m not sure to be honest. What do you think?”
