What Happens After the Demo Matters More Than the Demo
The period immediately following the sales demo is where most processes fall apart. We provide a playbook to turn advocates into internal sellers.
The Champion Enablement Playbook
- The Immediate Recap: Send a summary within one hour mapping value props to their specific problems.
- Mutual Action Plan (MAP): Use a shared document to map every step required to get the deal done.
- Multi-Threading: Systematically engage the other stakeholders (IT, Finance, Legal) early.
A MAP turns a vague sales process into a concrete project plan. It forces accountability on both sides.
The Takeaway
The demo is not the finish line; it is the starting gun. Structure your post-call process to maintain momentum and build consensus across the organization.
