How to Ask Meaningful Questions During Your Demo
Enhance your demos by timing key questions to captivate your audience and gain valuable insights!
The questions highlighted in this chapter aim to uncover how your customers are currently handling tasks, how often they encounter specific challenges, what solutions they’ve previously tried, and their expectations for your solution.
By posing effective questions around feature requests, you can gain a deeper understanding of your customer’s needs, assess the value of their suggestions, and make informed decisions about your product’s development.
This chapter equips you with a set of questions designed specifically for non-engaged audiences, allowing you to bring your audience back into the fold and ensure your software demo achieves its intended purpose.
There are moments in your software demo when you notice a spark of intrigue or surprise in your audience. These instances are golden opportunities to deepen their engagement and connection with your product. This chapter aims to help you make the most of these moments by asking questions that highlight and explore their interest.
Good closing questions serve multiple purposes. They provide a final opportunity for the audience to voice any concerns, questions, or suggestions that may not have been addressed. They allow you to gain a clear understanding of how your audience perceives your product, including which features struck a chord and why. They also help assess any obstacles or concerns that may hinder them from adopting your software.
While asking questions is critical to conducting a successful software demo, not all questions are created equal. Indeed, certain types of questions can lead your conversation astray, confuse your audience, or even leave a negative impression. This chapter is dedicated to helping you recognize and avoid these „bad“ questions.

Wondering why companies invest such little time and money improving their product demos, I started to systematically create the Software Demo Framework.
It is a step-by-step sales methodology that will walk you through the various elements of a product demo, providing tools and techniques to improve your demo performance and presentation skills.
The Software Demo Framework is based on my own experience selling complex B2B-software, and has been enriched with extensive research from industry-leading presales and communication experts.
It is a growing online-resource to empower as many presales folk as possible to deliver compelling and engaging demos and drive business growth at their company.
