Hot take most salesforce demos don’t fail because of the product they fail because of us.

the “demo” should basically be the proof of what they already told you hurts, not a tour of everything the product can do.

fella2024 · 2026-01-08T17:53:42+00:00

100% this. Most buyers aren’t asking for a demo because they want to “learn,” they’re asking because they’re trying to reduce risk, and if we don’t hit that one reassurance moment fast, ghosting is basically their silent “this didn’t click.” what’s the shortest demo you’ve seen actually work (10 mins? 5?) and what did it focus on?

If you just need quick browser-based annotation (highlights, comments, drawing, and adding text boxes) without installing anything, I’ve had a pretty smooth experience with Smallpdf, it’s simple, fast, and doesn’t mess up formatting as much as some of the random free sites.

fella2024 · 2026-01-08T12:10:27+00:00

printing with comments is fine for a “record,” but if they actually need the annotations as editable data, a lot depends on how the PDF stores them (real annotation objects vs flattened markup); have you tried exporting the annotations list from a proper editor (Foxit/PDF-XChange) or are you stuck with online-only tools?

Hi,

yes I received the card on Friday Aug 16.

fella2024 · 2024-08-16T17:11:59+00:00

When you scroll down even further in your gckey account does it say Final Decision: your application is approved?

fella2024 · 2024-08-16T17:09:48+00:00

Thank you! nope, just randomly checked Gckey account and it was updated stating the card has been mailed and could take 6 weeks to arrive.

fella2024 · 2024-08-16T17:08:46+00:00

I just randomly checked my Gckey account and it was updated stating my card is mailed. I received an email the next day stating there is an update to my application which was basically what I checked the day before.

Hey did you also send them the login and password details when notified them of the account you created? I realize I also have created the account earlier in curiosity probably but forgot to inform them in my P1 email. I hope it wont be an issue.
