Why Your Demos Aren’t Converting — and What to Do About It
You’re not losing deals in the demo. You’re losing them before it even starts.
Let’s talk about a common frustration:
“My AEs are giving demos, but they’re just not closing.”
- You’ve looked at the deck.
- The pitch is solid.
- The product solves real problems.
So why aren’t deals closing?
The Truth Most Sales Leaders Miss
It’s not the presentation that’s broken. It’s the process that got the rep there.
Too many reps are rushing into demos before they’ve confirmed there’s even a real problem to solve.
The lead isn’t unqualified — the rep just never took the time to find out.
What’s Actually Happening
Here’s the pattern we see all the time:
-
The BDR gets a “maybe” lead on the hook.
-
They book a meeting without digging into the need, timeline, or decision process.
-
The AE runs the demo… but there’s no urgency, no buy-in, and no clear path to close.
The result? A decent presentation to someone who was never ready to buy.
How to Fix It
You don’t need a new deck.
You need a sales process that your BDRs and AEs actually follow — one that teaches them how to:
-
Earn the right to keep the conversation going
-
Qualify for fit, not just interest
-
Confirm a problem exists before presenting a solution
-
Identify buying roles and decision timelines
