Denis: Melissa, could you introduce yourself?

Melissa: As a Product Marketing Manager, I collaborate with amazing teams internally and key customers to drive successful product launches and marketing campaigns. I thrive on turning ideas into solid plans, ensuring everyone is motivated towards our common goals. I excel in presenting complex concepts in an easily digestible manner, fostering understanding and enthusiasm, while ensuring projects are delivered on time and at high quality.

Denis: What challenges were you facing in scaling your product messaging at the top of the funnel? How much time was that taking you, and were there inefficiencies in the process?

Melissa: Our product is complex, making it challenging for people to grasp its benefits quickly. Internally, even non-technical staff struggled to understand it, leading to time-consuming explanations. Describing our product with words alone was insufficient, as understanding required firsthand experience.

Denis: What were the main factors prompting you to choose demo automation?

Melissa: Words couldn't adequately convey our product's value. I realized the power of letting people experience it firsthand. While we offered free trials, they weren't effective for those unfamiliar with our industry. Demo automation offered a controlled yet immersive experience

‍

Denis: Did you face challenges with unqualified leads before adopting demo automation? required firsthand experience.

Melissa: Yes, we often dealt with leads seeking translation services rather than our software. This wasted time for both our team and the leads. Demo automation helped ensure qualified leads engaged with us.

Denis: Some say they chose Demoboost for the partnership we provide. Would you agree?

Melissa: Absolutely. The support provided by Demoboost has been exceptional. The partnership feels genuine, with quick responses and solutions to any issues.

Denis: What's the best way to structure a demo to keep viewers' attention?

Melissa: Make it engaging, devoid of jargon, and fun. Use visuals, emojis, and keep it conversational. Focus on key messaging and use cases rather than overwhelming viewers with details.

Denis: Were there any challenges in getting your team on board with Demoboost?

Melissa: Bandwidth was a challenge, but demonstrating its benefits quickly won over key stakeholders. Finding allies within the team helped expand adoption gradually.

Denis: How difficult was it to build demos, and is it paying off?
