Behavioural Entry Level

How do you deliver an effective product demo? What mistakes do you see other salespeople make?

Quick Tip

Open with their problem, show the solution in their context, and confirm value after each section. Never demo a feature without connecting it to a pain point they mentioned.

What good answers include

Strong answers: customise to the prospect's specific use case (no generic demos), lead with the problem not the feature, show the outcome before the process, involve the prospect interactively, keep it concise, and end with clear next steps. Common mistakes: showing every feature, not tailoring to the audience, talking too much, and not confirming value throughout.

What interviewers are looking for

Practical sales skill. Ask the candidate to demo something to you (even their favourite app) to see their demo skills in action. Style and structure matter more than product knowledge.
