The Demo Doom Loop is a frustrating reality for many sales teams, especially those selling highly technical products.
If you find yourself stuck in this endless cycle, you're not alone:
- Sales: "The demo is busted!" The sales team requests a demo for a prospect, only to find that the demo is not working as expected. This leaves the sales team scrambling to find a solution.
- Engineering starts to fix the demo environment Engineering is then tasked with fixing the demo environment, which often requires generating new data, writing scripts, and extensively testing the demo.
- Sales wins or loses the deal Before the demo is ready, the sales team has already won or lost the deal, regardless of the engineering team's efforts.
- Engineering: "The demo environment is fixed!" The engineering team ultimately fixes the demo environment, but the sales team has already moved on to the next prospect, rendering their efforts largely meaningless.
- Sales gets a new prospect, and the cycle repeats When the next prospect comes along, the demo environment is often outdated, with stale data and broken scripts, repeating the cycle.
This vicious loop can have serious consequences for your sales process:
- Deals are lost due to outdated or broken demo environments
- Time and resources are wasted as engineering constantly fixes and maintains demos
- Prospects are frustrated by the lack of highly contextual, relevant demos
- It's difficult to differentiate your product from competitors using the same traditional demo tools
The Demo Doom Loop is particularly challenging for sales teams selling highly technical products, where traditional demo methods often fail to meet the expectations of sophisticated buyers. Trapped in this cycle, it can feel like there's no way out.
