Trust at First Sight: How Demos Build Buyer Confidence and Trust Yesterday, I talked about why seeing a demo first is so great. Today, let’s dive into how it builds trust. When a company leads with a demo, they’re being totally transparent. They’re saying, “Here’s our product in action. No tricks, no hidden fees – just the real thing.” This openness makes it so much easier for you to trust them. We get to see exactly how the product works and how it can solve our problems. With AI at the forefront of everything we do, Buyers want to see it in action. Its easy to say we do XYZ but if you can’t, or aren’t willing to, show it right away then its just a sales tactic. It’s way better than hearing a salesperson promise the moon and stars without any proof. With a demo, Buyers can see for themselves if the product lives up to the hype. Trust me, it makes a world of difference in the buying decision. app.demoed.com

There is definitely a trick to the trade when it comes to tech product demos. That trick is to prepare for all scenarios. Murphy's law can be a SOB. We have seen product demos fail numerous times. Here are some points to consider: 1) Be upfront if your product is still in beta - transparency builds trust. 2) Prepare for potential glitches and have a plan in place to move past them smoothly. 3) Focus on storytelling: the reporter needs to understand the bigger picture, not just a flawless demo. A successful demo is about telling the right story, even when things don’t go as planned. It is essential to practice and plan for contingencies. A glitch doesn't have to sink the ship, but it needs to be seamlessly navigated.

Pro tip: 𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒆-𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒔. Why? Because live demos love to betray you at the worst possible time. 😅 Here’s the typical scenario: You’re all set, audience watching, confidence level 100... then, boom! The product decides it’s 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘥.. Errors pop up out of nowhere, and suddenly, your smooth presentation becomes an impromptu debugging session. Solution? Pre-record, add some notes, and time-box it. That way, even if the tech isn’t cooperating, you can still look like a demo wizard. ✨ Because let’s face it—no one wants to be that person desperately trying to fix last-minute bugs while everyone watches. #DemoFails #TechLife #BePrepared #TechTrendsWithDivya
