SecondDerivative PRESENTATION #PLA2019
A Novel Approach to Vendor Software Demonstrations – Rescue Yourselves From Traditional “Day-in-the-Life”, “Overview”, and “Harbor Tour” Demos
Abstract
Have you ever wondered, “Where is this going...?” when watching a vendor present a demo?
Have you ever felt they were out of alignment with your situation?
Do many demos seem complicated and confusing?
Are many demos just a waste of time for you?
We’ll discuss how you can guide your vendor(s) to get to the point – and present demos that are focused, crisp and meet your objectives as a potential customer.
We’ll describe a process to help ensure you only purchase what you need and have clarity regarding your timeline and the value you expect to see returned.
