What does a product demonstrator do?
Here are the top 2 skills I've seen high performing product demonstrators... 1. Understanding Personas: every good product demo starts with understanding the challenges and needs of the persona who the demo is targeted to. The best product demonstrators have a keen understanding of the pain points of those buyer and user personas. 2. Crafting a "we are the only solution" story: once you understand the challenges of the persona, being able to showcase how your solution uniquely solves those problems is the heart of an effective demo. Bonus for showcasing the solution in clear, simple terms, taking the least amount of time. Extra bonus for weaving in "competitive landmines", highlighting areas where your competition isn't as good.
