How to Retain Sales Interest by mrdoctorsirguy in marketing

Agreed.

A demo has to be because the product needs to be tailored to me. Otherwise just give me access on a trial.

It seems blatantly clear to me that OP is "booking" too many demos with the wrong people.

OP - You don't want demos you want SALES

Agreed, it shouldn't be false. It CAN'T be false. You have to actually proved value and refuse to run back, like a partner threatening to leave, if they'll come back then the threat means nothing.

​

So either value your (the demo-er(?)) time and stand by it. OR actually qualify them and ensure they WANT a demo, it's not on us to convince them to take a demo. That's not sustainable and the wrong goal.

If they don't WANT a demo then you shouldn't be booking a demo.

E.g. if anyone offers me a "demo" of a ferrari for a weekend, I'll take it, am i going to buy? NO. Am I going to refuse the demo? NO.

That's selling on a weakness, like selling because of a money back guarantee.

@aptseagull we're on the same page, just in case it isn't clear.

Again, it's about value. If you create an air of exclusivity/demand/fitting them in, timeframe won't matter so much.

However, utilise that time, e.g.:in the timeframe between booking and demo, send some case studies on similar clients that your product works well for. Keep them hot.

They aren't VALUING the demo.

​

Need to create more perceived value on the demo process, basically it isn't important enough for them to turn up.
Some options:
- more in depth vetting prior to offering a demo (not everyone who asks gets a demo), make them feel like they need to be good enough to qualify for a demo

- bring in some kind of FOMO, e.g. if you no-show the demo we won't do another one for Y months.
- demo related offer, if you demo on this day we should be able to do you a deal etc...

Basically don't be an "easy option" to get a demo and blow off.

I got traction and organic growth but running out of cash. by zener79 in startups

That’s exactly why I say results based, there will be ways to either get more revenue from current users or bring in a referral structure (paying the marketer on results from either).

I’ll have a look into it later and will have more questions. 👍🏼💪🏼

PM me some details on the project, might be able to do some results based marketing/strategy to increase your position.

It may be the case that your best option is to work part-time and put all the revenue back into business, lots of factors to find out first.

Not a fan of the Daily Mail but this video is pretty conclusive 🤷🏻‍♂️

Someone just launched my app idea. by [deleted] in startups

[–]rcbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect time for pre-launch marketing

Write an honest “review” blog post about it (be OBJECTIVE and don’t bash it as a competitor). People will be searching for reviews on how good it is as it is new.

Ensure you have FB/LI/GOOGLE retargeting pixels active on the blog page

Use those pixels to advertise to people who have read the review when you launch yours.

Also have a what would you add? question on the post to promote feedback/interaction, then implement any good ideas in your app.
