#502 - Software Demo Secrets That Instantly Close Deals


Listen Later

Struggling to move deals forward after group demos? In this video, sales expert Nick Cegelski reveals a proven software demo process that keeps prospects engaged and drives real buying conversations. Discover what elite sellers do before and after a demo to build trust, personalize the experience, and win over every key stakeholder.


You’ll learn why cold demos fail, how to warm up the room with pre-calls, and how post-demo follow-up can unlock true multithreading. Whether you're in SaaS sales, B2B tech, or enterprise deals, these software demo tips will help you close faster and more consistently. Perfect for AEs, SDRs, and anyone leading complex sales cycles.


Stop winging your demos. Start winning them.


🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

  • Call attendees before the demo – Don’t walk into a cold room. Reach out 1:1 to every person on the invite list to get their agenda and run mini discovery.
  • Build personal connections – Use those pre-demo calls to create rapport and uncover hot-button issues you’d never get in a big group setting.
  • Get immediate post-demo feedback – Call your champion and key stakeholders right after the demo to capture real reactions and uncover next steps while it’s fresh.
  • Follow up individually, not just with a group recap – Send a tailored 1:1 follow-up email to each stakeholder to spark deeper conversations, create new champions, and drive true multithreading.
