David Yockelson’s Post

Believe the hype (cycle)! Favor Flav ⏰⏰ would have been wrong to disbelieve the hype around interactive #demo application technology. Don't believe ME? Take a look at our recently published #sales tech Hype Cycle, and check out interactive demo rushing toward the peak of inflated expectations!! The truth is, expectations ARE being met! Several clients in the last couple weeks recounted engagement rates 2X video and a similar increase in MQLs or next actions taken as well as entry to free offers! But as with any adolescent, there's some guidance and smart decisionmaking required for success! We're also roughly one month from publishing our 2024 Market Guide, but there's quite a bit of research on the space and vendors (even beyond those in the Guide) already...hit us up!! #b2bmarketing #b2bsales #plg

Love it, David Yockelson! Yeah, since this is a relatively new category, we have noticed that many companies still need education and guidance on how to create an effective demo, where to place it, etc. Once that is done, expectations are met easily!

It's fantastic to see how quickly the category is maturing - not only in terms of powerful solutions, but also in the sophistication of use cases for demos. Thanks David Yockelson for continuing to lead this conversation and help buyers understand how they can achieve success.
