Product Demo

Also called Demo

A live or recorded walkthrough showing a prospect how your product solves their specific problem. A key step in most B2B sales.

Why it matters

A demo tailored to what discovery revealed, showing their problem solved, converts far better than a generic feature tour. The demo is often where a deal is won or lost, so it rewards preparation.

For example

The rep tailors the demo to show the prospect's exact use case, the report their CFO wants, rather than a generic tour of every feature.
