The demonstration may be to keep customers informed, find needs, or to prove that a solution is the best. These varying aims and stages in the sales process mean that our approach must be appropriate. Common errors include inflexible standard demonstrations and demonstrating our ‘flavour of the month’ instead of responding to the customer.

Overview
The Demonstration is a key element in a sales process. Well meaning demonstrations can destroy the sales process by inadvertently making the ‘product’ appear complicated or irrelevant. Demonstrating is not just showing product knowledge. This course allows participants to avoid common errors and turn the demonstration into a more valuable part of the sales process.Who Should Attend
All salespeople, pre-salespeople and others involved in demonstrations.
